Just got word that our gig tonight has been moved from their big room to their small room. My R40 would be enuff, but I already loaded the R100 into the gigmobile.

Nice!Rumble 100 last night. Used the sansamp to go to PA/sub and the 100 became stage monitor, that I didn’t need, but didn’t feel like offering up that info to anyone

It’s not been out very long, but you can check out this thread: Fender Rumble 800 Combo Thread for the NEW 2022 800 Combo
r100 in a local LP record shop. sounded perfect.

Hey, all you high-powered Rumblers! Two of our own have started a new thread specifically on the new Rumble 800 COMBO that they are receiving this week!!! I'm watching that thread to see what they think. Won't you join us?

A quick gig report from Rumbler #1459, 5-string & BEAD user, in that thread: "my new Rumble 800 combo did fabulous"!

Are there any well-known pro bassists using a Rumble rig live? Like the 800HD etc.?
It's probably been covered here already but has anyone replaced the stock speakers in the Rumble 500/Stage 800 with the Eminence Basslite SC10?
Not sure if it's relevant, but I put a Basslite S2012 in a R100 with very, very nice results.
I'm going to shoehorn in an ancillary newbie question: What's an advantage of 2x10" over 1x15" in a bass amp?

Ha! One of the biggest debate subjects in the history of the bass guitar. I'm not sure there is a particular advantage to one or the other. It's pretty much down to sonic taste. Generally, a super simplified explanation would be that 2x10's are thought to have more punch while single 15's can have more depth but even that theory is hotly debated.
I haven't played a single 15" cab for at least 20 years now (GK 400RB and Energy 15" cab) but I don't remember having any real complaints about the sound. I've only used 410 or 210 since then but I've been curious once again about a 15.
IMO ultimately it comes down more to the quality of the cab itself rather than the speaker configuration. The rest is just what sounds good to your ears and playing style.
The Fender external cabs are nearly identical in cubic volume between the 1x15" and 2x10". But the 1x15" is rated 600W and the 2x10" 700W. Anyway seems a side-by-side blindfold test could be arranged.

As a standalone cab I have heard fantastic things about the Rumble 115. Also they are $100 cheaper than the 210. I'd think you can't go wrong with it. 2 of those would make a pretty great rig capable of handling most situations.
From what I have heard, the 115 delivers the bass, while the 210 delivers the punch. Get one of each and let your ears decide. Or, play them both at the same time

I think there are more than a few of us that do just that--one of each. Mine is a R200 with the 1x15 and R210 cab played together. Best of both worlds.

I was a 15er for over 25 years, even with my 72 SVT. Then I got a Fridge. To me there is something special about 10s working together. My 500c and 210 extension cab almost get that sound. That said, I'd love to try the mixed solution!
What all of you want is the Rumble 212 8ohm cab.
That they don't make.
