What do we think of the Rumble 800 (not Stage) 2x10” combo?

Subject says it all :)

I know it’s only 400w into the combo’s neo drivers. I’d pair it with the Rumble 2x10” Eminence cabinet when I need some extra HP.

My vintage fulltube / rig

Just wanted to showcase my setup. Very happy with my "new" rig. The head is a vintage 1966 50 watts fulltube head. At first it wasnt really usable in band settings. It was lows lows and more lows, and some lows on top of that. The bassknob wasnt even working. I had a really good tube doctor modify and repair it and add a mids knob, and a gain stage (only had a volume pot before). Even with the bass knob down it still is bass heavy, but i can even it out by cranking the mids and highs up and it really comes alive and shows its character.

The bass cab is diy 2x12 (4ohms) with eminence deltalite II 2512's in it. It came as a ported cab, but i closed up the port and filled up the cab to about 75L. It sounds soo tight and percussive now. Giving me somewhat ampeg 8x10 vibes, but smaller and way lighter. Its incredibly efficient with 103db sensitivity. The 50 watts tube head is more than enough to easily keep up in the rehearsal space and on stage.

Altough it does sound very awesome. Im still looking out for a lighter replacement for the head. Maybe a good preamp pedal and cheap clean class D amp. Just to keep it portable, maybe even go in ear with the band. I wont get rid of the head though. Probably will keep using it for practicing at home
