This is true. I used two 112s for over a year. It was a really good setup. However, I've decided to go a different direction in my musical life. Currently selling the cabs on eBay, actually.
I've been doing a lot of shows on bass lately, whereas I mostly played bass as a hobby and was a regularly gigging guitarist for the past few years of my life. Now I'm regularly gigging both, and I just need different things. All my Rumble gear was fine when other people were playing mostly through them at full gig/rehearsal volume, but now that I'm the one playing them, I'm starting to be a little pickier about my setup.
Mainly, the sound is great, but intelligibility has been a bit of a problem. The drummer I play bass with, she's not exactly super loud, but she's not quiet either. I am having to turn my amp up more than I would like, and I still can't hear myself as well as I would like.
It's all about form factor for me, too. I have a studio space on 2nd floor. See, the 112 isn't quite tall enough as a single cab to get any real use out of it, so to play my bass anywhere, I need both. Taking it up and down the stairs is very annoying because the 112s are just shaped such that I can't carry two at once up a flight of stairs. I also have a Rumble 500 combo (210) that I've been carrying to most gigs but I've always wished that I could have a cab under it so that I can hear myself better. So the solution to both my problems seems to be to sell my 112 and buy the 210 cab. I can use the 210 at home and then when gigging, use it with my combo.
But then I thought about it. That's a BIG setup. Surely I can't fit both 210s in my car with two Vox amps and five guitars. Even if I could, I don't want to. So I've decided to go back to mini heads and tall & skinny 210 cabs. Even though the TC K210 cabs are heavier than Fender 210 cabs, they're a lot smaller, and I think I want to minimize size more than weight at this point. I can stack two of them when I want more height. They're also well priced and look good. As for a head, I could have gotten the Rumble 500 head, but I found a TC BH550 for the same price as a Rumble 500 head and I always wished the Rumble head had a pre/post XLR out. Plus, the TC is attractive to me because it can eliminate my pedalboard for a lot of gigs. So I now have two TC K210 cabs and two heads (an Aguilar TH500 and a TC BH550) that I can mix and match to my heart's desires.
I really loved my Rumble cabs and the Rumble 500 combo served me very well for two years, but it was just not what I needed right now. I'm not giving up my Rumble membership card, though. Rumble 40 is still at home. It's the best practice amp in the world according to me. I'm selling my combo to one of my friends, probably, for a very good price. I want that thing to stay in the family.
