Fender Rumble Club

The stack picture on the Fender®™ website appaears to be a Rumble 115, 410 and 500 head. I have heard 410/115 stacks before, and the sound is just incredible. I have not, however, heard two 410s together.
I'm reversed, I've never heard a 410/115 setup that I Know of. It would seem to me the 115 would have difficulty being heard unless it's very efficient. IDK?

You are correctomundo! It is all marketing. Some photographer stacked a 410 on top of a 115 for an advertisement, and it's been total marketing stupidity ever since.

Well, it HAS been done on occasion. By some pretty decent bass players, too...:)

Yep. Victor Wooten does it too, and so does Billy Sheehan. They must not read TalkBass nor care.
BTW. Back when I started a bassplayer wouldn't be caught dead playing out of 10s or 12s. If he didn't have 15s I'm talking 2/15s sometimes 3/15s then he wasn't doing nothing. A few younger players I met find this hard to believe.

Things have most definitely changed, and woofers have gotten better across the board. Well designed 15's will always have broad, smooth dispersion throughout the entire midrange and that is what makes them special.
 
And I was doing my best on the last page to promote Tom Clement and his basses.

There is nothing wrong with waving the flag for the companies that make us happy by making excellent products. The natural thing is to share the news with other, like-minded people. When we do that we both share the excitement we feel and help the company do better with increased sales.

There is nothing wrong with being a fan. :)
