Fender Rumble 500 V3 Bass Amp for Bass Guitar, 500 Watts, with 2-Year Warranty 2x10 Inch Eminence Speakers with Compression Horn, Overdrive Circuit, Tone Voicing, Effects Loop and Direct XLR Output

This amp is really a great value. Big sound. Small price and the amp is very light to carry around when necessary. I would definitely recommend this and would buy it again.

Love this a lot. For this for my bass and it’s been great for me. Good sound quality.

Works great just not enough power . Should have bought the larger 500 watt amplifier instead

I really like this amp. I use it for my bass and guitar to keep from using 2 amps when I'm just doodling here at home.

Perfect for practicing at home. I even use it for my electric guitar. Good sounding and well built.

Powerful...I use for all my gigs

What a GREAT practice amp, great sound, easy to use the on board effects, it will take a little bit to learn, for anyone needing a simple to use amp with great sound, I strongly recommend this amp, not only is good for beginners, also for intermediate players, thank you.

I have gigged with this amp for close to a year now (about 30+ shows) and this little guy is amazing in the tone to weight department. For years I played through an Ampeg HLF4x10 cabinet with a Yorkville Bassmaster head 400watt (the tone of this can re-arrange your guts) and I loved it...for the tone, but the rig is beastly heavy and big.I was initially interested in the Rumble 500 with the two 10" speakers (because I like the punchiness of 10 inch speakers) but when I went to the music store then only had the Rumble 100 watts. I tried it out and played through the amp for close to an hour (I play G&L L-2000 USA). The amp sounded great...just awesome tone, beefy bottom, and lots of adjustments in the EQ's. And it only weighs 22 lbs.! So my wife got me one for Christmas (but gave it to me sooner because we had shows and why wait?) I play in a four piece (now five) rock cover band and this things gets plenty loud. 90% of our indoor venues are bars, restaurants or social clubs (American Legions, Eagles, etc.) and this amp is more than enough. I have used it for numerous out door gigs as well and with the DI out to the PA, the amp is fine. I have never had the gain past 25% and the main past 50% for any gig. In fact, I can set the upper limit of the main to about 45% and then control my volume with the volume pot on the bass itself. You can switch to a distorted channel...I'd say that is fairly descent, better than many pedals I have tried, but I rarely use it (except for Smoke on the Water...but not always...more of a personal choice).There is an effects loop, but that is not controlled by a foot switch (only switching the between the main channel and the dirty channel is controlled by a foot switch), and that is the only major knock on this amp. But for price, the tone (fantastic) and the weight (the box feels like it is empty!) this amp is tough to beat. At the store, I tried Ampegs small combo that are comparable (and I love my Ampeg cabinet) but this Fender Rumble sounded markedly better to me. It is not just the tone, but the amp really responds to how you play the bass. The guitar players in the band are jealous at how little this thing weighs. And it hardly takes up any room in the van when we load out for shows. You can gig with this amp, no problem. I should add that our band really endeavors to keep our stage levels reasonable...a lot of venues and crowds these days just don't go for the wall of noise anymore. But if you play in a band where your guitars run full or half stacks, this amp can still hang if you also direct out to the PA and use the amp itself to monitor. I really care about my tone, and my Ampeg/Yorkville rig destroys...I played that rig for years....but 9/10 times it is overkill, and who knows if the audience truly appreciates it anyway...? the Fender Rumble 100 sounds great...it is super light and small, but packs a solid punch. I also have a Peavy 75 watt combo (my first amp) 12" speaker...also sounds really good, but weighs almost three times as much, and no where near as loud. I can't recommend this amp enough.If you are looking for your fist amp, or you're looking for you next amp and are tired of dealing with a monster rig, this is what you ought to purchase. As I have gone on in years playing shows...the saying 'less is more' holds true.A side note: This amp did stop working near the end of our last set at a party...we were outside, but the amp was in shade...the power just cut out...and would not power back up, at all. (I plugged my bass into the board and when finished the show). Fender has a 5 year warranty and the place my wife bought it has a two year warranty on top of that...I sent it back ($22 my cost) and i was sent a brand new amp (Fender does not repair these amps, they only replace from what I was told). Anyway, the replacement came back FedEx in two days and this little amp is back in business and 4 months later (another dozen or so shows and a lost of rehearsals) it is still going strong. ...there is a part of me that still wonders if I would like the 500 watt with the two 10" speakers even more...but I am very satisfied with the little guy. (I added a photo of a gig we did at a wine festival so you can see I have used it outdoors...the amp is on the right side of the drums, and it looks very nice with the silver speaker cover...our band is WonderChunk...wonderchunk-dot-com) Thanks for reading. Hopefully this helps you!!
