discreet Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) Well now, here's a thing... I very much like the idea of the Fender Rumble 500 and I like the spec. But I've already got a great bass head that I like a lot, in the form of the GB Streamliner 900. Now the thing is... How about I use that with a newly-bought Fender Rumble V3 210 Cabinet with Eminence Ceramics that weighs 20kg, for just £265..? OK it's 5kg or so heavier and a little bigger than the combo, but I'd be saving £151 on the purchase price for a little rig which surely can't sound too bad, can it..? What have I missed? Would there be a better cab for the job, at this price point..?

Highfox Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I'm not sure how much of that new Rumble sound actually comes from the amp. If that's what your looking for? I have a shuttle 6 that sounds very different to the rumble.Like chalk and cheese Both nice in their own way. The Rumble sounds a lot more aggressive and punchier and warmer to my ear and that's what I like with this combo. As a stand alone cab I have no idea how they sound.

discreet Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Thanks. I suppose in that case what I really want to know is 'which 2x10 cab?'...a question beyond the remit of this thread. I'll start a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spongebob Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 I've just ordered a the 115 cab to go with my 500. The 500 has got bags of go on it's own, but I couldn't resist the cab as an addition for bigger venues, and a larger tone. Loads of people over on Talkbass are using this set-up, seems to be really good. I've even joined the Rumble Club....! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
