Dimensions?

^^^ This ^^^ and clear well focused photos.

My 115 looks just like the Neo 115 with the exception of the recessed handles and rear port set-up.

??? very fishy! Both the Fender Rumble 115 and Bassman 115 Neo are front ported, so if you have a rear ported cabinet then you have a counterfeit.

YES! you can buy any tolex cover,fender emblems and install on any cab and there you go(instant fake).

Dimension.....pretty easy.
Rumble V3 115 Dimensions: 20.75" x 23" x 14.5"
Weight: 39 lbs.
Rumble Neo 115 Dimensions: 20.75" x 26 x 16.25"
Weight: 45lbs.....I thought it was 52.
The one I have is the Neo dims & weight. I meant the rear plate.....sorry, not porting. I highly doubt anyone would fake this especially when I went through GC.
First picture is standard cheapo badge.

Second is the Rumble Pro badge.

Third is a replacement flat panel I put on my Rumble 100.
Yes I know it's got a brown tail. I added the white piping and it came out awesome.

Next is the tolex(esque). Here on a typical Rumbles against the tolex found on the Rumble 115 I got. You can easily see the difference.
Also the handles as found on the Rumble V3 115.

And the rear plate on all Rumble V3 115's. Again next to typical Rumble tolex.

All three together. You can see the size difference when compared to other Rumble V3 115's. This is is clearly Neo dimensions.

Maybe I'm only seeing them through the Fender site and how different they look in person. I don't know why they would make the 115's like this and not like the rest of the Rumble line.
I would like them all to match but seriously for the money how could I complain. Well the only complaint for me is that the casters don't lock in place but that's really it.

Thanks for correcting me. I had to re-weight it on a better scale and with the casters off.
And not for nothing.....it's Bassman, bro.

OK @allotabass, that indeed is a V3 Fender Rumble 115 speaker cabinet. It matches the size of the Rumble 410 for width and depth. Your 115 contains the very same 15" woofer that is in the Rumble 200 combo. The badging/logo is from the 1970's silver faced amps and does match the Bassman badging. F.M.I.C. has done this on purpose to match the new and very popular Bassman 500 head. Many are choosing a pair of Rumble 115 for the full round vintage tone of the ceramic-ferrite magnet drivers vs the open natural modern tone of the Bassman Pro 115 Neo. Plus you can buy a pair of Rumble 115's for $50 less than a single Bassman Pro 115 neo cabinet. So what you have is good; right, correct, and true.

Ha! Damn auto-correct!

That is the same one I look at when I drive to Springfield on my day off. If it actually matched my 200 combo, I would have already bought it. The only positive thing I can come up with is this: If I put my 200 on top of the 115 cab, I could use the extra 4 inches of the cabinet as a shelf to hold my beverage. If it spilled, it would hurt nothing. See, there is something positive to be found everywhere if I just look hard enough!!!!

You can mix beer and bass. You just have to have the right drummer and the correct type of glass.

Additionally, a neo cab would not have the holes/ magnet system that accommodates the Rumble heads. As Linnin, stated, the Rumble 115 matches the width of the Rumble 410.

^^^ Bingo-Zingo! ^^^ Something I overlooked = the unique Rumble magnetic head attachment system! Good catch, @Bodeanly

No problem. I'm just glad I didn't come off as a smarty pants.

No, not at all! You were being very insightful and helpful. I count on you guys to chime in with your hands on knowledge and expertise. Not only on this thread, but elsewhere on TalkBass.

Went for a rehearsal with other musicians this past week, the drummer told me in advance he had an EDEN 410 and an Acoustic Image clarus head, so I said to myself: 'well, let's go and try that rig !!!'

It took me ten minutes and plugged my Fender Rumble 500 head instead !!! Sounded so much better !

Not to say that the Acoustic image is not good or bad quality, but it sounded much better with the Rumble!

As well, how would you compare the Rumble 500 head versus the GK 700 RBII, anyone ?? I am curious as I have the GK Neo 212 and it sounds great as is with the Rumble, but I may have an opportunity to buy such an amp here.
