This is just one of the reasons that I still love my V2 Rumble 350 head so much. Plenty of ballsy grunt when you need it along with ultra-clean low volume when you don't. The overdrive is more like an EHX Bass Big Muff Pi Deluxe than the V3's overdriven tube like circuitry.
I've heard a lot of good about the rumble V2 350 head-still trying to decide between that and the r500 head for my nx upgrade; still researching.

The Rumble 350 in both head and combo formats launched the Fender Rumble line into the professional gear arena. Often out-performing and sounding better than bass amps 3 and 4 times more expensive. Indeed when ampeg potty-flex flamed on and bit the big one, Fender Rumbles kept on truckin' ever faithful with rock solid reliability. There's a reason why Fender Rumbles are number 1 in world wide sales since 2011.

Just wondering about the magnetic feet attachment of my r210 cab.
Actually it's not the feet. The feet fit into the cups, and that's all they do. This lowers the steel chassis of the head down against the cabinet. Under the vinyl covering is a magnetic strip which attracts the head and snugs it down tight. It's a stroke of Fender genius. All the heads are the same size and fit just fine.

This is good to know that they will match-up. BTW,before I bought my rumbles there was talk about reliable issues with the pf500 also one of GK's models no joke. Don't know how true the talk was though.
It's all true. Fender Rumbles are the most reliable bass amps on the global market, and have been for 5 years running. There are none better. Anywhere. At any price.

ok, all the talk has been about connect to Rumble Combos together... I'm assuming that the same applies if you wanted to connect a head/cab with a Combo. All exactly the same, yes?
I think it started with someone wanting to connect a head /cab as a slave to a combo and yes it's the same, just run an instrument cable from the effects send on the combo to the instrument input on the head /cab.

FTP - The second generation (or version 2) of Rumble combos were released Jan 15, 2010

The 350 head on top of the new 4 ohm 410 cab were an unbeatable combination at just $700. Yes, they sold well. The Rumble 410 cab proved to be exceedingly popular and sold hand-over-fist as its reputation for exceptional sonic quality soared.

??? everything I need to know?
 
I currently have and play out of all the time my Fender Rumble 100 .. shes old, heavy and the cloth top and sides have pulls but she works just fine.. and has that great deep low end..
