Fender Rumble Club

Gravedigger gave me #673 the other day. Thanks for your support though. Looks like a great club to be in, by the way! Still digging my new Rumble rig and learning it's ways. Lot's of good stuff to be found!
It is indeed the finest club on TB - in no small measure thanks to @Linnin, who has set the tone for how we do things around here. Welcome to the Rumble party!
 
Wow, gorgeous!! If I pick up a 1x15 I'll just flip the combo sideways and relocate the logo! I've been running the Rumble 200 for a while and it's handled everything well. I've played some acoustic/ballad type gigs and some small rock/metal gigs with PA support. I get asked to do some really loud metal gigs sometimes, so would the 200+115 stack cut it on a loud stage?
I'm not sure, but it will absolutely be all the power I will ever need! It is pretty loud.

Long time-reader, infrequent poster:

I found a Rumble 40 for a great price. It's a bit too small to gig with, but for an around-the-house amp it could be great.

I've been looking for a Rumble to gig with since using another bass player's rig. I love my RocketBass 100R, but the Rumble had every bit as good as a sound at 1/3 the weight. Which is a big deal when you are on the road a lot.

Very curious about the on-board compressor and fuzz and if it is something that you can control with a simple foot switch.

I'll log off and take my answer offline. Thanks!
 
What have your experiences been with stacking a Fender Rumble 200 1x15 combo and the Fender Rumble 1x15 extension cab? Also, does the combo fit properly on top of the ext. cab sideways?

I am one of those contrarians who doesn't freak out if the cabinets are different widths.
Sonically, The Rumble 200 on top of the Rumble 115 is a total win.
It looks like this:

This first question is what amp will you use to drive them?

The Rumble 1x12 cabinets are 8 ohms. If all three are connected in parallel, that would be 2.677 ohms. None of the Fender amp heads can safely drive 2.667 ohms.

Definitely not a Fender amp :)

I have a Mesa D800 which is 2 ohm stable. So....four 8 ohm cabs is not out of the question!
