Oh! I just realized you are a fellow leftyCool! I should get a personalized license plate Rumble421
Even better 
Yeah! Are left handed bass players also called south paws as some drummers do?Oh! I just realized you are a fellow lefty
Great pictures and bass guitars. Cool you've kept that 76 Fender for 40 years, looks great.
That is actually two Fender straps. One on top of the other. The wide one is a Fender Tweed from about 1985 or so, and the Brown on Gold Fender script is also from the same time period. I simply wove the narrow strap through the wide strap's adjustment slider and then strap locked the two together at both ends. They've been that way for 30 years now.
I haven't, but run my jazz in rounds and with a pick I go after a very aggressive Rush/Yes sound, and get it with ease through a Rumble 350 head pumping a pair of V2 Rumble 112 Neos. So I say go for it. A Rumble 500 with a pair of 112s for a mini-stack, or a pair 410's for a maxi-stack. Just yell Charge! and mount the attack.
That's plenty good enough for us, NightCat.
Welcome to the Fender Rumble Club, you are member #422 
Rumbles Rule! 
Rumble On! Thanks, but not exactly sure what to think. Dealers aren't stocking the 112 cabs in stores, so because of the changes to the actual driver any reference by playing a Rumble 100 is useless. ... and I played a rumble 100 today, btw, and aside from it lacking volume, I liked the tone a lot. I'm just not in a mood these days to be a guinea pig by buying cabs sight unseen, but I am very interested in a V3 112.OK, I just got an answer vis-a-vis the Eminence 12" woofer in the V3 Rumble 112 vs the 12" Eminence woofer in the Rumble 100 1x12 combo. The newly designed Rumble 112 woofer has a 2" voice coil vs 1 1/2" in the Rumble 100. The ceramic ferrite magnet is also larger/heavier, but I have not been informed of the actual weights of each. I feel fortunate to be able to get the information that I do get, so I don't push it. It seems logical that the magnet would be in the neighborhood of twice as large/heavy.
In a direct A/B comparison between the new V3 112 and the V2 112 Neo, I have been told that the Fender design team found that they preferred the new V3 ceramic over the V2 Neo. "It played louder and had a fuller low end response with smoother mids and highs." It's not as light, but it does have a smaller footprint and is $100 less expensive.
So there you go fellow Rumblers, straight from Fender to you with a bit of paraphrase from me.

See, this is the most important 'inside intel' you can get. There is nothing more important than the personal testimony of real working bass players. We thank for your positive comments, Shooz, and look forward to your gig report. It's you that really rock. Fender Rumbles just help you rock harder and louder with killer tone.
