geoham Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Hi, I have a TC Electronic BH550 head, and until recently had two BC210 cabs. I never really used both cabs, but often fancied something smaller, so I sold one and ordered an RS112 from Thomann - they are currently advertised at about half the best price elsewhere. At the time of ordering, they were due in stock at the end of this August, which was acceptable. Now, they are advising about three more weeks wait! I'm considering alternatives. Any thoughts on the Fender Rumble 112? Or would I be better waiting on the TC cab? It doesn't have to be a 1x12, but this seems to be a good portable option. It's not urgent, except for reasons of GAS! My gigs are generally: small venues with my quite loud originals band - always with PA support, functions/weddings with my typically quiet covers band - Normally no PA support, but always available if required acoustic shows - using my wee bass uke with no PA support My intention would normally be to use one cab, though I may consider the mortal sin of mixing driver sizes occasionally!

eude Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 From what I can gather, the RS112 is a better built cab, which will probably take a bit more of a pounding. The Fender Rumble cabs are nice, but they are more "budget" than TC's RS cabs. Having said all that though, there's no reason why the Rumble wouldn't suit you just fine. I personally would hang on for the RS112... Eude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoham Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 I'm kind of thinking that too, even though Rumble is £60 more than the TC cab right now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eude Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 True, but what's the list price on the RS112? The massive discount probably means it's going to be superseded soon, but it's still a very good cab at a very good price! Eude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoham Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 Indeed! Thought it was a great price. I managed to sell a BC210 for pretty much the same amount, with a Thomann review voucher making up the difference. I reckon I may just bide my time...
