I have a feeling you will be more impressed with the 200c/210 than just more watts going to the 210. 350w going into 210 is probably not really going to do more than 200w also pushing the 15. Though it might be close, I think most would agree the more speakers is going to make more difference than more watts, though you might have to run towards the top of your headroom.

Now a 500c on a 210 might be a different story, but as you know, the 200 is quite surprising

YES! that's the final plan- another r210 cab totaling 410s, but you maybe right about headroom; thanks.

You are absolutely correct about the 200c being ''quite surprising'' and with a ext cab of any rumble size makes a bad boy.

With the popularity of the rumbles, fender could bowl a 900 series by coming out with a rumble 800 with the addition of a pre/post switch for this di, a tuner out, and possibly an fx blend control thus making the effects loop parallel (which I always used as an aux in for something like a buddies electric drums, or the synth out of a bass synth effect, so the synth sound can be clean and the bass can be overdriven all from one amp)

Even if it was just adding the tuner out, and maybe a pre post for the di, and priced less than the other 800s. It would be a hit, the "pro" rumble.

How would you price it and make affordable for me.

I knew the 200 was gig worthy just by how it performed with my swr 110 or ampeg micro classic 210. Neither of which are mine anymore, but at least I was able to sell the ampeg mc before I got robbed.

Another thing about the 112, it seems to have a better overall finish than the combos, at least it does not have the seam in the cover that peels up on the back, it just seems a tad more solid, heck it should for the 112 cab costing the same as the 100 combo!

Yeah I couldn't justify the 112 because the 115 was the same and the 210 was only $50 more.

However being able to get it for $150 from a tb'r made me jump at it.

I think you would like the 112, that under a 210 would be a good rig. And then you could mix and match. However for $50 more a 210 makes more sense. Fender should have cut us a break on the 112, $250 makes more sense. I said that from the get go.

Got the 112 cab yesterday, and it looks amazing.

Quick plug in with the 500 head proved it to have a lovely tone, definitely darker than the 2x10, which is what I wanted. Hard to tell much in the house, though!

Got a gig tonight, so I'll be for the first time trying my new rig - my tried 'n' tested 115 cab, with the new 112 and 500 head.

Will take a photo and post thoughts afterwards!:hyper:

Are they built at the Eminence facility in Kentucky ?

No. China. The Rumble 112 & 210 are built by Eminence China. In the same factory where all the special design Eminence woofers for Fender Rumbles are manufactured. The Rumble 115 is still being made in Fender's Indonesia factory, along with all the Rumble combos & heads. The Rumble 410 is now being made at Fender's Ensenada, Mexico facility.

Fender's extremely popular Champion line of guitar amps are also made at the same Indonesian factory. While I don't have any actual figures, guitar amps typically outsell bass amps by about 10:1.

Indeed you did; How about a discount on all V3 rumble purchases for owners of previously bought items-like you said $50 would be a nice ''enticement'' or bait:thumbsup:. But they have they reasons and I cannot complain about their prices (yet).

The extreme world wide popularity of Fender's Rumble line has given FMIC pricing power as demand exceeds supply. So we've seen price increases on both the Rumble 500 and 200 combos. Everything else remains the same. Perhaps a special pricing offer on extension cabinets to current 500 & 200 combo owners might prove prudent?
