Perhaps a rumble 800 may very well be a future possibility, assuming the 800 is a class D power section.

Oh yes it most definitely will be, and will be in the same box as the Bassman 500 with the same Super Bassman front end. No need to reinvent the wheel when you've already got the best sounding most versatile pre-amp design ever.
I'm talking about a micro, and yes I wouldn't bitch anymore about it not having a tuner out or pre/post di
Interestingly, this is already out on the Thomann web site, noticed it this morning:

Yes, I also noticed some bigger internet shops already list them.
Let's wait and see what the Rumble line future will bring...it must be pretty
Well now... Bassman 800... I'd like to know what it is rated at 8ohms... 800 may be too much on tap. But it may be exactly what I should have in reserve too. Rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.
I can't imagine ever needing that much power. Ever. The 8 ohms rating is most likely a conservative 600 watts. The Rumble 500 already has more power and potential SPL than the ampeg PF 800. The Bassman 800 should easily out perform the Mesa subway 800 or the new Genzler 800.
If I could afford it, I'd take my power in glass bottles that glow softly blue.
Ahh romulan ale!
My '79 Fender Studio Bass had a six pack of 6L6GC's and an ultra-linear power transformer. One of the very best, if not the very best bass amp I've ever heard and had the pleasure to own.

I bet he sells them!
Think of a first-time instrument buyer and seeing those shiny new instruments.
"It's on Craigslist so it's got to be a good deal, right?"
If they don't sell for a profit, they will take them back to GC for a refund within 30 days, right? I know an unscrupulous consumer who did a photography gig with new Canon DSLR from Costco, photographed the gig for a week, then returned the gear for a full refund the following week. I pointed out that it was taking unfair advantage and their response was simply, "Well... they took it back..."

Well I couldn't resist checking out the bands Facebook page. Either they are avid fender fanboys (fender logo on their show flyers etc), or have some other endorsement or affiliation. One of the guys is playing a squier in every pic, and the blue affinity was shown at a show from earlier in the year, definitely not in the 30 day return range.
I think he was just being creative and promoting his gig, and I didn't stumble across it while looking at gear, I stumbled across it looking for bands, he put them in the musicians section.
Why am I trying to anylize this? There are just so many strange things about it! I mean, offering to sign it even!!! Like there is rock star status for old guy surf cover bands in southern California?
Still, it is a free show, I might even go for ***** and giggles, just to see if a sucker sycophant shows up with $280 for a used affinity. The bass player is playing one of those micro terror heads with a small orange cab, probably 112, maybe 110. Looks like black face guitar amps. He should get a rumble 200 for feng shui, match the guitars cosmetic wise.
Now if he had the guitars listed for fair prices, I probably would never have clicked on them. And now I am even considering going to the show.
Genius promotion!
I actually plan to put it on top of another amp but thanks a lot for the advice! I learn that with my AmpWedge (goo.gl/VL6mcx) and how it changed from being on the floor, now I have amp stand and things are much better, that is why I know I need to raise it to test.
