The Combo Club

$$$?

I paid three figures. One euro short of four figures. So, 999 €. :bassist: Some online stores try selling it for 1399 € because of its relative scarcity at the moment. I kept looking and found a store in Czechia that had the best price AND had it in stock. No one has the new AT Cube 112 8-ohm 350W cab in stock yet. Sigh.

999 € is a lot more than a Rumble 500 combo costs, but it was worth it to me. And, looking for a silver lining to justify the expense, I'll just say that, in 2023 dollars, it was less expensive than my '64 black face Fender Bassman. ;)

Yowsa, Maarti! Those micro-weight GR ATs have caught my eye, too. A 19.4 lb. 500w 112, huh? Wow! But, I had a tough time finding a photo of the rear I/O panel shown in the manual, especially showing that 90 degree plug in the Speakon!

Then I was really surprised to see it in the top of a recessed area on the back!! Is this right?

And are you sure that's a 90 degree TRS (stereo?) Plug in the Speakon, and not just a regular TS plug? If TRS, what kind of connection would it require in an external cab?

That connection reminds me of similar ones on my Bassman 150 & 250 combos, but without Speakons.

Yup. On top in the recessed area. And, of course, it's a TS plug. I knew that when I said TRS, but used that because I thought it would be more recognizable to more peeps. A TS - male speakON cable is about 9 €. A speakON to speakON cable is about 13 €. Six to one, half dozen the other. The TS plug is connected to the left connector in that photo, going sideways, into the cab. Really well-designed and built.

I also want to point out that the I/O photo you posted is for one of the ONE amps, not the combos. The On/Off switch on the combos is on the top with the input jack and EQ, Gain and Volume controls.

EDIT: OK, I managed to take a pic of the connection to the internal speaker. Not easy. It's angled, but it shows the attention to detail where the cable passes through the cab.

My last gigging combo, aside from my GK MB150E112, was a Nemesis 410 combo, which saw a lot of gigs ca 2006 - 2007. Since then, I’ve mostly gone with stacked rigs.

But, one of my current gigs was putting a bit of pressure on my setup / tear down time. So, I’ve once again gone into the combo game.

This time, I’m using a GK Legacy 112, both solo for small stage club gigs and with a Neo112 IV extension for bigger stages.

No complaints. In fact, the power and tone management is flat out impressive.

I still have my separates gear; but, this puppy is going to see a lot of gig time. WAAAAY too practical.

My own rig which I also take interstate is Phil Jones Bass cabs with Bugera Veyron BV1001T and NU-X Solid Sudio for a touch of vintage grit. Combine that with my Hofner 500/1 Greenline and I no longer suffer from GAS.

I like and admire the musician who gets their GAS under control by way of Purchase!!!! You know you want it, just get it!!!:woot:

Looks to be the perfect rig to me. For the life of me I'll never understand why Fender didn't do the same in the Rumble series. If I didn't already have several Rumble combos and a cabinet, I'd buy your exact setup!!!!!

I gig with a keyboardist who just got one of these for his amp. I played through it for one set and was impressed. Solid combo.

Hey all, I made my way here after @G-Dog suggested this club in the Rumble Club thread. I started playing bass almost 2 years ago on a Rumble 25 but traded it in for the Rumble 40 after 6 months. It's a great bass amp and is actually loud enough to hear myself when practicing with my trio, but I typically play through a Rumble 60 at rehearsals. I also have a Groove Tubes Soul-O 45 gathering dust because I'd rather play bass... Can I join the club?
