If you tapped out a guitar solo while holding down a bass line with the other hand, you sir, are a genius.
I can't even scratch my nuts with one hand, and... well.... basically, focus on anything else, at the same time.

Uh-oh. I can see it now. Craigslist bands that require "pro gear" will now not only look for "Fender" on the headstock, they'll also look for the word "Professional" on the hang tag and case candy.
Don't forget the image, transportation and a good job so you can chip in for band expenses such as an overpriced lockout, a self produced CD, and a batch of t shirts that won't sell.
Them guys on Craigslist sure are pro!
LOLOLOLOL--I wish! necessity caused something creative to happen or maybe it was Holy Spirit inspired--idk. But, I discovered something amazing and just got off of Reverb.com with a bunch of new gear and a Fender twin reverb guitar amp. I will be running both Fender amps with my bass soon.....
Praise the lord and pass the amplification (ammunification)
My neighbors (about 1 mile away) are going to hate me even more.....
...and a hilarious play on words Ubernator!
Run a whammy or other pitch shift/octave pedal that let's you split the direct and shifted signals, and send the upshifted signal through overdrive into the twin, instant guitarist, who likes to double the bass player.
I have a question that is bugging me for a few days...maybe you can help me...
I have Fender Rumble 100 v3 and I use it for practice and acoustic gigs. I like it a lot....unfortunately it is not loud enough for gigs with complete drum kit.
I have other, more powerful rigs but I really like the sound and portability of this combo.
Question...
Would it be possible to stack two Rumble 100, connect them via send (combo #1) - return (combo #2) plugs and control this "12x2" combination through preamp of just one combo (#1)...?
Would both "powered cabinets" be equally loud?
Is my reasoning wrong?

YES! That is the correct way to do it, and yes both combos would be equally loud.
...more I think about it...more I like the idea of daisy chaining of Rumble 100 combos...
I could make "12x4" , "12x5.....", "12xN" combos and make a huge wall of (bass) sound...

I really wish they would upgrade the 1x12 Rumble combo to 300-500 watts and add an extension speaker jack. And if they could have it match the dimensions of the current 1x12 Rumble cab as a bonus that would excellent.
I have a Rumble 500 combo with the 2x10 extension can now and I'd drop both for a Rumble 1x12 combo and matching extension can that put out 300 watts or so.

Just buy a Fender Rumble 500 head and a pair of Fender Rumble 112 cabinets. A few have gone this route with stellar results.
I've been to concerts with orange 100watt amp and a PA sound system. With PA rumble 100 is enough?

No can do. You can only chain two amps unless you hack some circuitry.
Here's what you do:
While the Rumble manual doesn't explicitly say you can do this, the Bassman manual does say it's OK:
The reason that you can't chain more than two Rumbles is shown in the block diagram of the Rumble amps:
That little red rectangle I drew in shows that as soon as something is plugged into FX RETURN, the signal is disconnected from FX SEND. If you wanted to try and chain more than two, you could swap in a regular jack for the breaking jack at FX RETURN, then patch in a SPDT switch at the joint near the upper-left of that partial block diagram and going to the dot just to the left of the red rectangle. This would void any warranty.
That is essentially what I am doing. I am using EHX products with Fender amps.
I've played a large club with my 100 and FOH support. It worked well. I used the 100 for stage monitoring. I put the 100 on a kickback stand so I could hear it well.
This was recorded on an Iphone from the audience. You can see the 100 behind me:
