I use the little 25 for just myself, or with just a guitarist.
Otherwise, its through one or both of these rumble 115 cabs!

I realize that the answer depends a lot on what I want to do with it - and that I can read the specs online, but not being very experienced with this I’d appreciate the wisdom and experience of the folks on this thread.
Since they are roughly the same cost - can anyone kinda’ list the pros and cons of two different audio interface choices.
Scarlett Solo (Gen 4) vs
Scarlett 2i2 (Gen 3)
My main goal is to record my bass playing - so that I can listen to it for learning. I also would play around with the recording software that comes with the interfaces.
I would like to use the XLR out (as folks informed me how to do cable-wise) on the Rumble to go to the audio interface. I would possibly also use the bass guitar straight into the interface (once I can afford some good headphones).
Thanks for any and all shared knowledge!
I have the 2i2v3. At first I was thinking you were asking about the 2i2v4 vs 2i2v3. I think the big deal there is the auto leveling. It appears this is not on the v4 solo though. From a quick glimpse of the specs, seems like the main adds for the v4 solo is some modes for mic use--would you use those? Might also have better dynamic range, I dunno. For ME, the v4 solo is not worth the upgrade--the v3 2i2 is a good interface. The v4 2i2 is tempting though.
The main difference between the Solo and 2i2 is based upon the number of inputs, one vs two. Either one would work for you. I only have working experience the 2i2 and have never had a need for the second input.
You can use either the XLR from the 100 or the 1/4" cable direct from your bass. I have had excellent recording results...just give yourself some time to learn the recording software. I found Reaper is great and cheaper in the long run. I also found that some lower cost earphones work just as well, if not better than expensive headphones.
During the pandemic, I was using both inputs on the 2i2 for zoom music lessons--used a real mic rather than the camera mic on one input, and the guitar (yeah, guitar, not bass 
) on the second. made for very clean sound over zoom.

During the pandemic, I bought my 2i2 in order to collaborate with other musician over the net rather than meet in person. Then found an app that allows me to remove the bass on original CD/YT recordings and add my own through my DAW software. This enabled me to learn new tunes and practice old ones without any need for in-person jams. I can play along with the original musicians!
The app I use is Moises.ai and use it almost daily...@SteveAG may be interested in this as well.

Kind of off on a tangent a bit - but how did you get your CD music into Moises? I have a whole lot of albums in Amazon music but didn’t find a way to get that content to Moises.
Thanks for the audio interface thoughts too!
Good info regarding Zoom lessons. Hadn’t thought about that. My lesson instructor can do Zoom lessons- although I’ve always attended in person so far.During the pandemic, I was using both inputs on the 2i2 for zoom music lessons--used a real mic rather than the camera mic on one input, and the guitar (yeah, guitar, not bass
You are welcome. I am not familiar with Amazon Music but, Moises requires the tune to be on your computer. A work around is to use a YT to computer app.
Steve, I am not familiar with either of those audio interfaces (I use a different one), but I’ll offer this suggestion. Since you want to use the Rumble’s XLR out to plug into the audio interface, first check to see if those audio interfaces have a line-level input (which is what the XLR out is). My audio interface doesn’t have a line-level input so I can’t use the Rumble XLR out to plug into the audio interface. I can only plug my bass directly into the interface, or play through my Rumble and mic the amp, with the mic going into my audio interface.

Last night I was enjoying some music at home and partaking in some libations. I thought, hey lets see what on Reverb..... Well I ended up purchasing two Rumble 112 V2 cabs. Do i need these ? Not at all. But I did get a great price and they are NOS with the stickers still on the grill. Anyone have any input on the V2 112's?
Congratulations, MP! Those are some very nice speaker cabs!! 8 ohm, 250 watts continuous, 500 watts program, with neodymium magnets for light weight. These Neo 112 & 208 cabs, along with the 350 amp & combo, were the first Rumbles to get my attention in a serious consideration kind of way. But then, the R500c appeared and swept me off my feet!

I have two of these and have used them for many years with several different heads. They're pretty good cabs. They're very lightweight, which is their biggest advantage. They're also very reasonably priced when they come up for sale. The sound is pretty good within reasonable volumes as well. They're a bit underpowered for larger rooms without PA support, and I've played through higher end cabs that are definitely better, but these are great for what they are.
Those aren't stickers on the grill BTW... They're actual pieces that a lot of people seem to remove. My cabs actually had them removed by the previous owner.
lusty! LTNS! @basslust, you are now member #1729 in the Fender Rumble Club. Congratulations and welcome. Put that number in your TalkBass Signature for safe keeping. Then make yourself at home here and on your Rumble Club Wiki page, the repository of all Rumbling wisdom and knowledge.
You've been a long time Rumbler here, but not so much in the last several years. Glad to finally add you officially. How about telling us a bit about yourself, such as your bass experience in general and your Rumble journey in particular? You've fitted in just fine before, so you can again! So, let's all just ... ... ...
Rumble On!

Hi Rumblers!
Happy Friday. Curious about something.
I have the Rumble V3 500c I pair with the V3 112 Cab. It's pretty sweet. Wondering if the V3 210 cab will provide any addition benefits. The V3 210 is 350 watts (continuous) and V3 112 is 250 Watts (Continuous) both at 8 ohms.
Has anyone chosen one over the other and what drove that decision?
Thanks!!

I don't have either a 112 or a 210 for my R500c. I borrow the Bassman Neo 115 from my BM500h when I think I need an extension cab. But, while I admire the 112 and believe it to be a great extension for the R500c, I believe I would chose the 210 over the 112 for these reasons:
1. The 210 has a bit more cone area than the 112, and thus pushes a little more air.
B. The 210 speakers are identical to the R500c speakers and, stacked in a near vertical configuration, will benefit from the coupling effect of tone enhancement.
Stacking two 112 cabs would be another consideration that would get the coupling effect, but still push a little less air than two 210 cabs. B. The 210 speakers are identical to the R500c speakers and, stacked in a near vertical configuration, will benefit from the coupling effect of tone enhancement.
But, I think these differences may be small enough that they may not justify changing from your existing combination. Your own ears are the only way to tell.

Thanks G-Dog! I appreciate your opinion. I agree the difference is probably too small for the effort but having matching 10's all the way around does make me happy. Maybe if I find a cheap one on Craigslist I'll give it try. I think the 210 also gets it another 4 inches higher which doesn't hurt with hearing. Although I kind of like how compact it is now. All good stuff. Thanks again!!I don't have either a 112 or a 210 for my R500c. I borrow the Bassman Neo 115 from my BM500h when I think I need an extension cab.
