Rumble 500 : A great modern bass combo.

For many years now I've been using an old heavy Trace Elliot bass rig. No fun at all transporting and lifting those two heavy MDF cabinets around. For a while I've been looking to replace my bass rig with something far lighter and more powerful.

Long story short – I’ve been researching various 500w heads and combos and the newest Fender Rumble line always had the most consistently positive reviews and posts on bass forums. I bought the 500w V3 210 combo and I’m very impressed! It’s very light – it can be carried with one hand. It’s tough, loud and punchy with a great balanced tone.

The downside is that Fender doesn’t provide a cover for the combo so you have to go to a third party supplier for that.
