Fender Rumble 100

So I got this amp not too long ago, after buying it kind of on a whim based on the overall reviews online and peoples recommendations.

Let me tell you, I am new to this, okay? I got my Jackson 5 string bass plugged in to this thing and it sounds lovely! It feels great, it sounds perfect and it has all the beginner EQ options that you would need out of an AMP. I was considering other combos like the VOX VX50BA, the small Markbass Micromark 801, EBS Classic Session 60 but I got the rumble instead.

Some more notes:
- People praise it for its low weight, it isn't "heavy" but it's not that light either. I am not a big woman at all though, even my bass is heavy for me so... yeah, just careful if you're getting it if you're tiny :)

- The knobs. I wasn't sure they would be of high quality or if they would feel sturdy but they do! They absolutely do. And they notch nicely at noon.

- The size. Definitely bigger than I anticipated from multiple photos/videos, it might seem small if you're just seeing it online but in person? That thing isn't that tiny at all.

- Sound and features... simply great. Outstanding. It's warm but it's mallable to the point where you could pretty much make it sound however you want it to sound within reason. It's loud, punchy, warm, it's just perfect. It shakes my room, too. It's a beast for its size, definitely!!!

- The "Fender look". I wasn't a fan of the typical Fender look but honestly it looks much nicer and more professional in person than I would think it would. I thought it looked okay online but it looks and feels great in person, so yay! I'm happy with it.

Overall I would recommend it to anyone looking for a reasonable amp for practice/small gigs. It's a perfect gift for a bassist who needs a new amp which is well priced, too. Thanks for reading :)

It does not have the punch and the oomph of a larger amp with a bigger speaker (or multiple cones), but the Rumble 100 is a little smart beast. The sound is somewhat vintage-oriented so in most cases is more suited to genres like blues, r&b, classic rock, country... Of course there's no rule that prevents from using it for other kinds of music, but personally I wouldn't recommend it for slapping and in-your-face tight funky bass, for example.

It's very very light, so you are motivated to bring it along to rehearsals and have always "your sound". For live use, it has enough power to be used with satisfaction in small club situations. The line out is very handy so that you can pass the signal to the PA when gigging in bigger places, but keep in mind that tone and level will be affected by the volume settings of the amp: if you lift the volume to have more of you on stage, it will change also on the line out (some PA engineers could hate this).

after using the rumble 15 i decided to try out the rumble 100w its a great practice amp to say the least its very versatile and i love the features it comes with, however the only feature i stay away from using is the extra 3 switches you get (bright, vintage , midscoop kinda sound,) .
it is also light for the amp which is great if you plan on using it for gigs or you're planning to travel with it.

I feel like its also great with effects pedals if you plan on using it its a great combination.

i used it for recording also and had no issues with it and has a great sound.

I mostly bought this amp for the weight (only 10kg!) .Super light and not expensive!
It sounds ok ,well I mean very good and very tweakable but it's not very loud.
The overdrive is nice but I'd love a foot-switch bundled. I personally like the vintage switch, nice mid-low harmonics a bit compressed but it's matter of taste!
If you are facing into a loud-beast drummer this amp certainly will not follow up.
With right placement and some high-mid eq boosting it might keep up but will not rumble the floor!Also when playing really loud the amp "farts" so be prepared to cut some low frequencies...
Worth mentioning that the amp is also usable for guitar and since it plays nice from low volumes I love it!
Maybe I am unlucky ,but mine had some flaws such as the power cable socket was "buzzing" and the master volume control was "scratching".
I don't worry much ,since I am on 3 years warranty but even made in China it's a Fender and I expect descent quality.
To summarize:
If you want a loud bass amp check the 200W model. Else for the money,sound and being so portable buy it!

I bought this amp mainly because I needed a light amp for practice and small gigs. Since then this amp has excelled. Not only it sounds really good, it is super easy to carry and it also looks really cool.

The drive is a nice to have, and with a footswitch, it becomes an extra effect for my solo gigs.

Speaking of solo gigs, it also has an effect loop, ideal for when I need to bring my pedalboard.

On the downside, it's not very loud and will sound crunchy when pushed, so do not expect it to perform 100% on you punk rock gig.

All in all, a very nice amp for the price.
