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.

Exactly as I hoped. This amp is light, we'll built and produces a clean and loud sound that will serve as a great platform for experimenting with effects later.
I use it for home practice, sometimes also in a split amp setup (another signal going through an octave up+distortion to a guitar amp).
Not many features but I didn't buy it for these (katana bass might be a good option if you want more features in a combo amp).
As for the volume, it is PLENTY loud for home practice. I don't go beyond 4 before things start shaking. One would say it's overkill for home use, I would agree but I wanted low ends. And I got them!
