Thanks again for the informative replies. When I get the insurance check I'm waiting on, I plan on going with the 500w combo. Head room, power and the 410 cab I already have being the determining factors. Now, to figure out which model Fender Jazz to get....

I haven't even ordered yet! Lol!

And Mr Nylon, I really like the looks of the American Deluxe Jazz in Ash, but finances might push me towards the FSR, instead. Always have loved the bare wood look. I've been looking, but can't quite find a direct comparison between the two.

Hey Linnin, I currently have the V3 500 Combo with the Extension V3 115. Sounds great but I see a few folks going with a V3 410 instead of the 115. What would be the differences be? Would it be louder because of more speakers?

I may return the 15 for the 410. Does it make sense?

Hey Shaun, that's people's preference. Louder no still 8ohm cab. Its 500 watts with either cab added. Take your combo and bass and try it out. Don

I finally hooked my V3 500 Rumble to my V2 150 Rumble, both combos, using the Lehle P-split. All I can say is WOW! Both combos are great by themselves but together is a whole different ballgame. I love that I can control the volume and eq on both combos individually. Still doing some experimenting with them together, but I'm so happy with the Rumbles.

Yep. S.A.D.S. = Sudden Ampeg Death Syndrome All bass players would do well to avoid all things ampeg like the plague.

This is something the Loud Technologies did when they bought Ampeg. I bought two Ampegs this year and they both died after few weeks. That's why I turned to Rumble user. I just found out LD also bought Mackie. You should avoid those too.

Just saw a Rumble 100 v3 at my local music store. I immediately regret getting the 40. They both look the same in dimensions. What the heckkkkkk

That's a shame. A couple of people have returned to the 40 because they didn't like the boomy low mids, but for most, the 100 is a definite upgrade.

Only 4lb heavier, sounds "more grown up", quite a bit louder with a deeper/stronger low end and a sweeter top end. Still not enough to compete with an aggressive drummer, but it will cover a lot of small gigs, especially at church. Also, the amp section shares the extra gozintas and gozoutas from the 200/500.

If you do check out the 100, roll up a couple of pairs of socks and take them with you. You'll get some funny looks from the salesman, but if you use the little pull tab at the bottom to remove the grille cloth, you can gently stuff them into the ports.

That will let you hear what the 100 sounds like with a bit of the boom removed. Just might close the deal for you...

I love the 40 but I feel like it isn't giving me the boomy end I want. Complete opposite of other people I suppose.
