I am about to join this group. I've ordered a Rumble 210 cabinet. I tried one out the other day and liked it both in sound and in look. Can't wait to get it in my hands.

Wow the craziest (most awesome) things are happening to me, must be the Universe telling me I made a great choice by joining the Rumble club!
Earlier today an old gentleman of about 75-80 years old pings me about the guitar amp I was trying to sell for a while (mainly to recoup on buying the Rumble 200!) and he tells me: I have a Rumble 200 I would trade you for it!!!
I immediately think... sweet, I'll just daisy chain those and start looking around and BAM you guys had just posted about doing exactly that and with awesome diagrams and information!
Now I have a tough choice... I am still within the return period for my new Rumble and find myself with 2 of them... should I just keep em both?
One little thing that bugged me is, the grill is black instead of the amazing silver of the newer one, does that mean anything (like he spray painted it?) or was there multiple options when they came out with the 200 back in 2014? I looked at everything else and it is exactly the same and plugged in it sounds perfect!
Let me know what you think!

No that wasn't an option, and it means he changed it unless he also bought it used like that. Easy enough to change it back, just costs $$. If you are playing enough to need both, keep both.
But you don't have to wait for your number. Welcome Rumbler #713! What head are you using?
Rumble On!

YES! Fender has recently released ''Limited Edition'' Rumble combos with black grills! I've only seen the 25 and 100 online. This 200 is a first, IME, but may be a legit very new amp!
My vote: Keep both! Those 2 matched 15'' Eminence drivers pumping out 140 watts each would be Awe-some!!!
But I'm not sure how to replace the grill, other than building your own. I called Fender and they don't sell them. Although, all the parts are easily available.
Musician's Friend only limited release of a Stealth Gray vinyl with Black grillcloth for 2016 in Rumbles; 25, 40, and 100. I just checked and only some Rumble 25's are left.
That's just the thing... I don't know yet, we rehearse once a week as a band and will gig about once or twice a month at most... not sure it actually makes sense to keep both, other than for the awesomeness and the power push... but I don't think we'll be gigging in venues that require it either, and our PA has subs so I don't need the power to get through to FOH... I will be road testing the used one tonight at rehearsal and see if I trust it at higher volume since it's already been "modded"... then I guess I'll see!
Direct from Fender $80 for a six foot square: Invalid Link Removed
Or from Mojo Tone by the linear yard 36" wide and $20.75 per yard.

Ask him if he still has the original grill cloth. If he says that is the original grill cloth then you'll know he bought it used.maybe he just took it from some other amp or cab... not sure but oh well!
If you did not get the original receipt from the used one, and you got the new one prior to jan 1st, you might want to keep the new one. The 5 year transferable warranty is now a thing of the past. If you got the new one after the new year, and you can get the original sales receipt from the seller of the used one, then return the new one and get a 112 210 or 115 cab to go with the old one.
If you can afford to keep both, keep both, having a backup is nice. My backup is my warranty, which is good till around black Friday 2019. If I buy another rumble, perhaps a head, later on down the road, it will be a used one with original receipt dated prior to 1/1/17. It just makes more sense to me to pay less AND have a longer warranty. Would be a 500, so I can drive my Goliath cabs, and also would have my eye on a rumble 210 to either use under the 200, or make a 112/210 stack.
Thank you! I have a Carvin BX250 and a Markbass LMII. I'll test it out with each of them. For an ultra light rig, the Carvin and the rumble 210 would be a perfect pair.

Just sayin....
On No! Does this mean I have to sell 1 of my 3? Or is 2 just the minimum?
Thanks, had me really worried for a moment there. I knew I liked this guy.
