Fender Rumble Club

Does anyone have a rumble 200 head with 2x12's stack .. wonder how it sounds ..... i currently own a 200 w combo and im thinking of selling it n buying a separate head with 2 cabs ....

I've tried the Rumble 500 combo and the 500 head with the v3 115 cabinet, and I find the 500 head into two v3 112 cabinets to be the most articulate and balanced of the different combinations. Depending on your volume needs the 200 head should sound the same as the 500 head...

Thanks .... very helpful
I have been playing with the single 15" speaker (200w combo) knowing i only get about 140 watts and had no issues ... may be full 200 watts with 2 12" speakers will b perfect ...

If I were spending my own money, I would add the Rumble 115 cab to the R200 combo.
Wait! I did do that! :D

I am spending my 2015 IRS refund on a Bassman 500 hybrid head and an extra 115. That money should hit at about the same time as Guitar Center's 15%-off coupon on Memorial Day weekend. Coincidence or merely a remarkable concurrence of events without apparent causal connection?

I forget who breezed in here one day with a photo of a Bassman 500 head on top of a pair of Rumble 115's. As so many do grab a number and go. Anyway that will be a killer rig, and the Rumble 200 combo will be a very complimentary practice & small gig amp.

If I were to set up a Rumble Rig, right now, that is what I would go for. :bassist: :bassist: :bassist: :thumbsup:
