Hiya!
Wondering if anyone can help me out. I'm currently gigging with a Hartke 3500 TA and Genz Benz 215 that I bought new in 95'. I use a newer Rumble 210 v3 cab for smaller/medium stuff. Its loud, deep, and punchy! I split into a SanSamp BDDI for the PA if needed with an SVT setting. We are an Alternative/Indie Rock 3 piece. I mainly use the tube pre in the Hartke and its is amazingly loud. Just changed the 12Ax7 and its deep and clear! But I don't need that much juice in smaller places. I want some grit on stage and liked the V-4B after hearing one at a gig. I really want that sound and grit and I can just use the SansAmp for PA support for the medium gigs. Drummer hits hard and guitarist uses vintage Marshal Combo amps and some crazy Natech custom built combo. He's a very dynamic player.

So, has anyone used a Fender Rumble 210 v3 Cab with their V-4B and liked it gigs? Bars/Indoor/Outdoor/small/medium. The Rumble 210 is ported and pushes out some nice sub freqs to my ears but I don't know if that is the Hartke or the design of the cab. In the future I'll probably buy a larger Ampeg cab to match.
Thanks in advance!

I dunno 'bout the Hartke or Ampeg, but I've played my Rumble 500 2x10" combo (same as the 210 cab, but with an amp built-in) for over 9 years now and it handles bass all the way down to the low B just great. In fact that's what really sold me on it in the first place! I had been a 15" snob for over 40 years and didn't expect anything so lightweight with tens to sound so low, rich and punchy. But it does! :thumbsup:

Thanks for chiming in! I agree. I wasn't expecting that much low end from the 210 cab but when I used it for the first time I was shocked! Especially after using the 215 for so long. Its light and has surprising low end.

I use a V4B into a Fender Bassman Pro Neo 115 often. But it's usually just a monitor as it's going thru the FOH PA system. Sounds great tho.
I realize that's different to what you're asking, but might provide some insight.....

Thanks. Yeah thats what I plan to do and run through the PA when needed. I really like this amp but I can confirm that it won't fit on top of a Rumble 210 cab in a vertical setup. The V4B's feet are a bit too wide. Gonna have to put a wood shelf on top of the cab so it'l' fit. Dang it! I knew I should have splurged for that AV212 - such a pretty match. Sounds good with the 210 though.

I could but I just bought it so I don't want to void the warranty in any way by redrilling the feet. I thought about removing the feet but don't wanna risk tearing the tolex. I'm tempted to buy the 212AV cause I just love the look and the fit but its also 20lb heavier and wider than the 210 and I drive a 2005 Mazda 3s Hatch. Dunno if it'll all fit with my 2 basses and pedals and maybe a girly. I think thats asking too much lol!

I think I used some stick on feet in addition to the regular feet on an amp once. From memory, they were a li'l shorter than the proper feet, and only came into use on a particular cab
