Rumble 700.

Put 112/500 on top of 500c, fx send of head to return on combo, voila.
Or is the combo on the block when the 2nd 112 arrives?

And tell me about that bass.

Yep I've already considered the 700 configuration and will give it a try soon.

The combo is a keeper, I initially bought the 112 cab as an extension for it, (sounds great btw) but decided I needed a backup too and eventually run a 2-12 stack.

The bass is a mim dlx that I converted to a p/j with a EMJ Geezer Butler set.

Well here are some pics of the proto to see how it will work. Remember the original design was "YAHBOY's" idea.

Here they are. Yahboys first.

It's a Sound City 412, 16 ohm.

OK @Woody1999, I know things are frightfully expensive in the UK, but if there is any way to sell that cabinet and Rumble 30 and acquire a new Rumble 200 combo you'd be far better off.

I would really like to see some pics of this cab!

Didn't Sound City make cabs that were for both bass and guitar? At least that's what I thought I remembered.

Probably for the best, it was pretty beat up anyway. Things aren't that expensive over here, haha!

And remember a valuable vintage screwdriver will not be as good as a cheap hammer, when you are driving nails.

That is probably the best quote I've heard in years.

I'm stealing it.

Happy Fender Friday!

I found them at a good price right here!

Mine just arrived an hour ago, and Holy Smokes these cans rock! I am no headphone guru, but I have tried quite a few high end studio monitor units, let me tell you WOW! Very even response from top to bottom and excellent frequency range. Super Happy I got them

Why does the 40 weight less than the 25?

I was just looking at both & the 40 is 3 lbs. lighter than the 25.

MDF construction of the Rumble 25's cabinet vs lightweight plywood of the Rumble 40.

 

[Linnin]

The V3 Rumble 100 is only 1 pound heavier than the V3 Rumble 25. My V2 Rumble 75 1x12 combo is MDF construction and weighs about 45 pounds, while my V3 Rumble 200 1x15 combo is only 35 pounds.

The 25 is mdf, the 40 is lightweight plywood (Baltic birch maybe)

 

[Linnin]

Baltic birch

The Fender Bassman Pro cabinets are Baltic Birch (good and expensive). All the Rumble combos 40 and up are a special lightweight Indonesian plywood. Does meranti sound right?

 

[DerekW]

Sounds like a sports car.

Can you feel the Rumble from that Meranti? 0-subsonic in 3.4 seconds.

Yeah.. but there is a Father's day sale this weekend.. and GC appears to have a few really nice examples for sale used at a great price!

I'm having a case of Deja Vu:
I was considering replacing both my combo amps (Rumble 15 & Peavey Vypyr) with a Rumble 40 or even a 100.
Maybe I'll drive out to GC tomorrow & check them out.
Oh wait, there's a Fender dealer that has them both.
