Nice rig, but who is sleeping on the couch and why?
You will love those 100s, Rumbler #735. Now Rumble on!
I gigged a silverfaced Bassman 100 on top of a 2x15 cabinet without any PA support for many years. Everyone was convinced.

Who is to say that one day (maybe soon) you will come across a great cab deal like the one you have found for the head?
If you can afford to buy the head and hold out for a decent deal on a cab, sounds like a good plan. You could also keep your eyes open for a broken combo (amplifier part) in need of repair and use that as a cab while the "real deal" comes around.
All I know is that, if in 3 months you suddenly find a great deal on a cab, amps will be stupidly expensive (something to do with a guy called Murphy).
YES! Glad to see you got it hooked up. I've really been enjoying this setup and for me the ability to leave one at practice and still have one at home is the icing on the cake for a sweet rig overall.
Just ordered a pair of new Rumble 115 cabs from MF. Seems like a great deal that works out to about $215 per cab.
Now just waiting for the brown truck.

Congrats!
So, what big price differences again between the US and Europe.
The cheapest new (single) one over here costs EUR 387.
That equals to USD 410...so almost the price for the new pair you got.
Well, I'm wearing a brown shirt today, so welcome Rumbler #736. Rumble on!.
And that is a good deal.
Musician's Friend and it's sibling Guitar Center are known to sell returns and other open box 'B-Stock' as brand new. However if the cabinets are in mint condition and like new in box, what is the real difference?
Aha, I see. Well, I guess it boils down to if you want to open the brand new factory sealed box yourself - and are willing to pay for it - or you accept them as (semi) new, even though the cabinet was taken out off the box and maybe used a couple of times.
It probably won't matter a bit to the useful play time you can get out of it.
And thus we have the truth. Some will pay more for brand new and never played. Others will look the other way and simply pretend to have brand new & never played. I just want a bottle of Blanton's and a Montecristo #4. Thank You.
Did Someone Say Rumble On!? 
Rumble On.. and that's EXACTLY what I'm about to do now...And thus we have the truth. Some will pay more for brand new and never played. Others will look the other way and simply pretend to have brand new & never played. I just want a bottle of Blanton's and a Montecristo #4. Thank You.
My purchase today was for merchandise labeled as "new". They also had "open stock" cabs available.
