Nope, Lovey, Ampeg.com says the RB-115 combo is 22.4 x 20.2 x 13.94 in. (3.6 cu.ft.) and 34 lbs., while the Portaflex PF-115LF cab is 23.5 x 22.75 x 17.5 in. (5.4 cu.ft.) and 55.8 lbs.
The seeming "disconnect" in sizes (115) is 23 x 19 x 14 in. (3.5 cu.ft.) and 34.5 lbs., while the seeming "disconnect" in sizes is 20.75 x 23 x 14.5 in. (4.0 cu.ft.) and 39 lbs. That's actually quite a bit closer in size and weight!
The Rumble 115 cab was designed and released (along with the new V3 heads & combos) the same time as the Rumble 410 cab, which is the same length and width. They were probably more intended for the 200 & 500 heads at that time. The 210 and 112 cabs, which are the same length and width as the 200 & 500 combos, were released a year later. Thus the Invalid Link Removed you observe. Of course anyone could put a 115 driver in the same box as a 210 cab but, alas, I haven't seen that. (I don’t think there's a good way to put 4 x 10"s in a box the same width and length as the 200 & 500 combos, it'd be too tall.) So much for our OCD!

I went through Corning last weekend @Black Out Jazz . It beautiful. Grand Island then Springville huh @RSey716 ? Grand Islands cool if ya got a boat. I was a fedex courier for 30 years and Springville and all parts down there in the hills was my route for many moons. Another gorgeous countryside. Unless it’s winter! Then it’s a nightmare! Bickering Bills! I shudder! We got something going now! Just gotta get by Mahomes and KC!
“Actual passage of time…”
so cool! I see the Joyce and Willie S there!
That’s one I haven’t read!!
I like “I’m a Stranger Here Myself”. He returns to the States for an odyssey road trip (in his Mom’s car
) after twenty adult years in England raising a family. “In a Sunburned Country” is spit coffee out your nose funny travels “Down Under”. I love his time chasing the legend of outlaw Ned Kelly
. Great author- love his travelogues.
I had the Broughton HPF in my cart yesterday and pulled out. I wish I could buy it local and check it out. The idea of a high pass filter makes so much sense for bass. We don’t hear that frequency below 40hz anyway and by eliminating those frequencies you can clean up the mud. Makes perfect sense! But if I’m gonna have to plug in to something (I don’t use pedals) then I would want to have more to access. I don’t know what more means but more. So I was looking for pedals with an HPF button yesterday and all I could find wasn’t for bass guitars. Maybe I would go for the Q-Strip? I dunno. So I’m gonna wait for now. Give the RB a workout. And reconsider the Broughton HPF then. Any thoughts folks?

Ah the winters... They can get pretty crazy for sure. Blizzard of 77. Never seen so much snow in all my life. Trubisky had some good numbers today for preseason. Enough to make Chicago go

Winter in the Corning Valley is mild compared to Rochester.
I have looked at the Broughton HPF several times myself.

Brysons at Home sounds like it could be boring right? A tour through the history of the Home and all the rooms in it. Boring right? Nope! First he’s an awesome writer. And 2nd it’s a home in the English countryside. So really old. Really cool insights. A great trip through history really. Did you know some old English cemeteries have cemeteries on top of cemeteries on top of cemeteries? Cool. Stuff like that…..
Yes you just don’t want to spend a winter in Syracuse! The snow kings by far! Lol. Apologies Syracuse.
I started the project flying direct from Atlanta to Rochester and driving down 390. That did not last long.. I changed to flying to Detroit and connecting, which I despise, into Elmira. Rochester is a bitter winter. That wind...
Glad I moved to the southwest from Northern Vermont. 
We get snow- just not feet of it. It gets cold (we are at 6500ft- the Colorado Plateau high desert). But it’s usually sunny!

Comparative lit major because university music theory was the most opaque subject I ever sampled.
Naturally there's James Joyce. Not pictured is Chaucer in Middle English. A bit of a side hobby with me In Time. Also not pictured: À la recherche du temps perdu; Julie, ou la nouvelle Héloïse; Jane Austin, Wordsworth &c. Continental Romanticism kick. Absolutely no one, ever, asked me for my views on Thomas Mann or John Donne.
Stationed in Utah for three years. The heat and cold are completely different than what you have in the north east. Really liked the climate there.Glad I moved to the southwest from Northern Vermont.

I know so many people at work and in town from Western NY that I almost consider them an immigrant group here in MA.
Most of the people I worked with had moved to PA and commuted to Corning.
Bryson never boring- his “Short History of Nearly Everything” was my latest read of his- brilliant!!

Middle English!!!! Our teacher was kind enough to have us read Chaucer in that! One tale only, and only a couple of pages etc. but I Loved it- all the history etc!!! Here’s a Saxon (pre Norman, <1066)…
His name is Ulrich.

Welp, I done wentn' got me anothr' combo. I couldn't help it really. When it showed up in the classifieds, I found myself buying it. Just like that. It's a sweet Fender Bassman TV10 and it sounds good........
What a sweet little combo, Datty! And an actual tube pre-amp bass amp, with real ports in the back, too! Not like those very old Bassman TVs, and even the new Custom '59 Bassman amps with open backs that are really more for 6-string guitar. And 150 watts at just 38 lb.s is none too shabby at all.
Do you gig it, Datty?
