Linnin, your doing a great job! Also thanks for all the help.
I will post pictures of my new Rumble V3 500 Head and my two V3 410's. Serious Rumble.
Shaun
You're welcome, Shaun! And a very heartfelt thanks for everyone's votes of confidence.
-> and YES! We want to see many many photos of you're rocking Rumble 500 + 410 X 2!
Rumbles Rock! 
Linnin - Like the others, I think you should stay at the helm if it's at all possible. Your enthusiasm is contagious! I understand your consternation over the events last week, but it's water under the bridge. Keep Rumbling!!! (Edited - if you're going to praise a guy, at least spell his name correctly!!!!!)

Linnin, I completely agree you are the Rumblin Man! Your advice helped me choose ny v3 combo. Its has the sound I've been looking for. I have been playing for 40 years, I have owned and played a ton of equipment . So again thanks for what you do!!! Don
I gotta jump in and say I agree with everyone else... Linnin, you are the Rumblin Man for sure! You're the perfect dude to lead this club...and a fellow Virginian! We had Stonewall Jackson and they said "...Rally to the Virginians!!". The Fender Rumble Club has Linnin and I say "Rally to the Rumble!!!"
Thank you all for all your kind words. They are greatly appreciated.
Sorry if this has been mentioned in here already, but 75 pages is a biiiiit large to sift through for this.
I like the look of the cabs and the price isn't bad either. Anyone try replacing the speaker in the 1x15 cabs with something different from Eminence? I'd like something that has a better wattage handling rating, something 8 ohm (I want to bypass the tweeter completely), and perhaps better full-range response than the stock one. I've read that the mids are kinda shy on the 1x15, so a stack of two might be a little weak on the midrange at high volumes. Anybody have experience with it?

Just adding my voice to all the praise for Linnin the Virginian!
Good question. What is the midrange of a bass guitar? Hmmm? Who Knows? That's a retorical question. The highest fudamental note on a standard Fender 20 fret bass guitar is a D# at 311.1Hz. Now go three octives up to cover all the overtones and you're just shy of 2500hz. Some people confuse midrange of a stereo or PA speaker with the midrange of a bass guitar. The midrange of a bass is solidly 600-700Hz. So even the really crappy woofers such as the ones in Acoustics; Ampegs, and Behringers can put out some decent mids.
Eminence is well known for their full; rich, round tone. Check out the specs of their legendary Legend CA 154. See that it is fairly well flat all the way to 1300Hz where it rises to a very nice presence peak solidly in the very high mids and low highs. http://www.eminence.com/speakers/speaker-detail/?model=Legend_CA154
Fender and Eminence worked together very closely to come up with complementary cabinet and woofer designs for the new V3 Rumbles. They are not shy in anything. Indeed they are full bull; balls-to-the-wall, smack your momma good!
Fender Rumbles Don't Cost A Million Bucks. They Just Sound Like They Do!

Awesome, that's good to hear!
I had a great experience that was a total crapshoot. Had a Kasino Snake Eyes 2x15 cab and put two Eminence Legend CB15-8s in there to bring it down to 4 ohms. O-M-G it was killer, especially with my tube head. Since I'd like the tube grind with more volume and less weight, I was hoping something that would compliment my GK Fusion 550 well. Love my MB200 with an Avatar 2x10s, but wanted a rig with some more bottom. Two separate 15's is what I'm aiming for, the Fenders to be exact. Just want it to handle the tube grind and some fuzz with balls and finesse at the same time. When money frees up, definitely doing this.
Awesome!!Most excellent!
Rumbles Rule!
My experience using the FX return was that it was "pre" everything. The best analogy would be like a powered speaker with no volume knob. I had complete control from my preamp of volume and tone and none of the controls on the amp did anything whatsoever. Insanely easy way to use the amp as an extension powered speaker from another amp. Of course, the input section and tone of this amp are great, but it further adds to the flexibility you can get from it and makes the amp versatile as part of a larger rig when needed. Simply fabulous!
So confusing! (To me Lol)
Are the volume/tone controls not considered part of the preamp?
And isn't post preamp and pre power amp the same thing? As in "in between the two"?

Hi Rumble club/fans etc...
I've just joined the TB forum after reading the great reports on these amps from all you guys.
I haven't got a clue what I'm doing or how anything works on here. Anyway I have a Jack Casady ebony though a little Vox Bassman which is great for the home,(10 watts I think) but I've just joined a band and hire a Line 6 in the rehearsal studio. I want to buy a 200 combo but not sure the 200 will be loud enough over the rest of the band,(2 guitars and drums) we play old covers like Cream,Small Faces,TheJam,The Who and look to play bars/pubs etc. thing is I'm not sure I can stretch to the price of the 500 combo and think the 15" in the 200 will sound a bit more "old school" if you know what I mean. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

If the band gets loud (2 guitars, so probably does) you should hold out for the 500, or plan on getting an extension cab in the future. The 200 is backlined at a couple of my gigs, and on busy nights when it gets loud I feel like I'm right at the limitations of the amp. That's with one guitarist, playing old and new country.
