rob_89 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Hi Anyone seen/tried/tested the Fender Rumble 112 and 2x8 cabs as found here: [url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Fender-Rumble-112-Bass-Cabinet~ID~14432.asp"]http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~F...et~ID~14432.asp[/url] [url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Fender-Rumble-2x8-Bass-Speaker-Cabinet~ID~14431.asp"]http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~F...et~ID~14431.asp[/url] Thinking of partnering these up with my Orange Terror Bass 500w for a small and powerful rig - not bad price either. Any opinions? Cheers, Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 No experience of the cabs I'm afraid. Great price for a lightweight cab. I've got a Rumble combo which sounds very good. But that's probably not a lot of help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_89 Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Is that the 115? Any reliability issues etc? Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 It's a 2x10 - Fender Rumble 350. Only had it for about 3 weeks so can't really give any insight into reliability. I did a fair bit of research before buying and reliability problems didn't come up as an issue. Build quality is very good. I've taken it to 2 practices and the guitarist has been impressed - he's been playing for 30+years. First time I played it in 'anger' I didn't adjust the eq, played it flat, bass was flat and I was very happy with the tone. I'm usually a twiddler. Although obviously I've only had it a little while, given my experiences thus far, if I'd had more money then I'd would go for the 2x8 and matching head.

solo4652 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 (edited) Folks, I'm resurrecting this thread hoping somebody can give some more up to date opinions on the 112 and 2x8 cabs. Steve Edited May 27, 2011 by solo4652 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solo4652 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Answering my own post to some extent: These cabs are described as "can handle 500W", but a rummage in the BC dungeons uncovers threads suggesting that the cabs are rated at 200W (RMS?). Please bear in mind that I have no idea what I'm talking about. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smash Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Still haven't seen much info on these Cabs also the 350 Head, if anybody has these could they tell me how they compare to a usual rig as in Markbass/Epifani/TC Electronics etc would love to know as I am finishing live playing but still be nice to have a cheap stack at home just incase.

Monckyman Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Hiya Steve, hows it going? As far as 500 watts goes, I think you can safely ignore that as manufacturers hyperbole. It [i]may[/i] handle 500 watts but only for short peaks and not continuous level. However, watts aren`t everything and a sensitive 200 watts (speaker that is, not like it sulks when you play a Take That tune)can produce plenty of volume in the right cabinet.Especially the 2x8. So I`d suggest trying one out in person before you buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I considered these cabs along with the Laney Nexus 1x15". On paper the Laney was the better cab in almost every way and I'm pretty sure that after using it for the past 9 months it is. Incidentally I have it for sale, purely cos I want a matching cab for my GK MB210 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
