What do you guys think about this.
I might buy a Rumble 4x10 cab to go along with my Rumble 150 bass combo.
Would this cab be compatible with my Mustang 3 guitar amp?
What might be the pros or cons?
Thanks....

No & No. Neither combo has the ability to drive an extension speaker cab as designed in factory form. You would have to modifiy both amplifiers' circuitry to instal output jacks. A warranty voiding modification to be sure, and not something that I would recommend. There are other much better alternatives.

The Rumble 410 cab is very specifically designed for electric bass guitar, and is therefore unsuitable as a guitar cab. While it could be used that way in a pinch, there are better options for the same $$$.

You're Welcome!

What would my options be for a cab and my 150 combo? Let's forget about the mustang 3 idea.

The Rumble 150 combo does not have an extension speaker output jack. Fender designed and packaged all Rumble combos to be as 'teen-ager/bullet/goof proof' as possible. The 150 operates at it's optimal wattage output rating at 4 ohms. The 15" woofer & tweeter package in the 150 combo is already at the optimal 4 ohms. There is no output jack so people won't do something stupid like plugging in another 4 ohm cab such as the Rumble 410 thus dropping the total ohms down to a very unstable & disasterous 2 ohms which would lead to total amplifer failure in very short order.

You options are:
1) forget the cab and enjoy your combo as is. This is the easiest & cheapest.
2) Buy a Rumble 410 cab along with either a Rumble 150 or 350 head. Also easy, but clearly much more expensive.
Whether you keep or sell your combo is up to you.

Think I will choose option #1. I sort of forgot about the XLR Out, which I have successfully used.
Thank you for the info, just a longshot idea.
Guess it's time to study up on ohms!
