It is a thumpy song with mostly 8th notes...just an idea of how the XLR from the Rumble does with a typical "club rock" FOH mix.
Thanks for the Bump.
This setup is truly in mint condition. I'm actually going to pickup a Rumble 115 combo after I sell this.

I would ship it but I have never shipped an amp before. How are these shipped? I would ship it if buyer pays for shipping.

We have a Box Brothers that does a good job. ASk a local music store or musical type Pawn shop who ships guitars and amps, and there will usually be at least one that has a clue. You should be ok with UPS store. As long as it's not a tube amp, their normal packing(which is expensive) should be good enough. The BEST way is to find your own box. In fact, they usually cut up two boxes and tape them together...if they don't have an exact match.
@ODDBALL another option you have is to trade your Rumble 500 combo in on a new Rumble 200 combo and simply keep the Rumble 115 cabinet.
Actually what I am trying to do is sell this amp and a bass to fund a new bass and amp. Funny I know.

Practically unheard of on TB.
Just an FYI, I started a thread over on TGP on the similarities of the output modules on these class D bass amps, and they are all Bang & Olufsen ice modules. They look like they even have the same pin outs. The 2 brands that I have confirmed are the Kustom 500 head, and the Fender Rumble 350. I haven't looked at the inside of my 200 V3 combo, but I'd be willing to bet......
I am not sure if it is kosher to link another forum.......but search for output modules

The only thing better than a Fender is another Fender!

Yes, but same sized cab means you're limited by cab size, too.
And what I say can be backed up by mathematics. You can see on various specs sheets that 15" speakers often are 4-6 dB more efficient than similar 10" speakers (BP1525 is about 4.8 more than a BP102), which isn't entirely canceled out by having two 10" speakers (which brings you back up about 3 dB in loudness, except they're sharing cab space so they don't quite get all that). You'd expect that. In any case, 1x15" has more surface area and much more volume than 2x10", so it's actually pushing more air, not less, at the same wattage. The same amp pushing into a 1x15" will generally move more air and more efficient than the same amp pushing into 2x10", even though the 2x10" could sound "louder" because it might be more efficient in the upper midrange where your ears are more sensitive. Sure, 350 watts sounds way more than 140 watts, but 2.5x difference in power translates to a 4 dB difference (log 2.5 ~ 0.4).
So when you math it all out, in combo form, the 200c and 500c are only different by around 2 dB when you just consider speakers and amp wattage, and then there's the cabinet, which being equal probably completely cancels out that difference, because the cab can only give out so much volume. For all intents and purposes, I think I can safely say that the 200 and 500 combos are exact same perceived loudness. Besides, it's not just math. I've had both and I can absolutely tell you that this feels true. But once you start adding external cabs, then they really start to differentiate because the 500 can truly feel twice as loud with a second cab, whereas the 200 will only feel somewhat louder.
But I'm not saying this to say that the 200 is just as good as the 500. I say buy whichever has the speaker arrangement you want, because in the end, that's all that matters. The 200 isn't a smaller amp than the 500. It doesn't have less volume, it just has a different tone due to the speakers. There's no such thing as the 500 being too much amp if you're also willing to consider the 200, because they're the same volume. They sound and feel different, and if you never intend on using an external speaker, you'll never really perceive a volume difference.
