You have to have the volume kind of loud to get a good sound, but when you do have a good sound its great. Its light and easy to carry around.

Disappointing tone

I can’t seem to find a tone I like with this amp. I am a guitar player who has recently taken up bass. I’m pairing it with a Squire Affinity Jazz bass. I’ve had it for a few months now and don’t really like it. I’ve tried lots of configurations to no avail. Would like to return if I could. Spend a bit more and get something better. Not recommended.

Great for a bass or an electric guitar

Really solid amp for any beginner who's interested in both bass and guitar but doesn't want to buy two separate amps.

Perfect little weapon!

I bought this just to practice in my bedroom and I couldn't be more satisfied with this little amp. The volume and equalizer tone knobs work perfectly and have a very even and linear slope.

Perfect for bed room practicing and very light and portable

Really basic bass amp

A basic bass amp for home use. 15 watts is more than enough for a small practice amplifier.

I have been satisfied with Rumble's allaround performance.

Perfect for practise

Use: I bought this to be able to practise at home

Pros: it's small, reliable. It has all the inputs (instrument and line-in) and outputs (speaker or headphones) that you need to practise in good conditions. It also has basic and meaningful settings. It is very easy to get a good tone with this amp, which might be difficult with most 15W amps.

Cons: none at this time

For the price-unbeatable

Subjective observations only, I'm a beginner bass player. I can compare to smaller cheaper amps I've owned also.

Features are basic, but all a beginner needs, namely volume, bass, treble, middle.

Build quality is excellent, all jacks and knobs are reassuringly solid.

I owned cheap (30-40 euro) bass amps in the past, and it's a complete waste of money. You owe it to your ears and your music learning to spend a little more to get something like the 'rumble'.

It's always subjective anyway, were I a better player I could probably make the amp sound better. I'm using with the Harley Benton PB-50 which is an entry level bass, and I guess the instrument and amp are well matched.

Best bang for the buck

Bought this for home practice, wasn't expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised with the sound and power this thing packs.

The materials don't feel cheap at all, everything works like you'd expect from a expensive Fender amp. Didn't think I'd be using this for anything but practice, turns out it's loud enough for band practice and I even use it for on stage monitoring when running the sound through a DI box. The low register tones aren't that loud, however, things get louder the higher you go. The only thing I can complain about is the EQ that doesn't really do anything due to the size ans power of this thing.

Keep in mind I play in a 6-piece semi-acoustic folk band with electric drums so things don't get that loud on stage, you might need something bigger if you play rock music.

What a surprise!

Perfect for apartments and practice.

Looks great, has plenty enough knobs to play around and sound is clear and meaty. Don't let the size fool you, it's loud!

Great build quality and an awesome product!

Read this if yours doesn't sound right!

When I plugged in and played the first notes on my bass, the lowest notes came out distorted (the speaker made a "farting" noise). I didn't have time to test it further that day, but I was disappointed and thought I had received a defective product.

However, today I took off the front grille and gently pushed on the speaker cone a few times. After I did that, the lowest notes sound clean and not distorted. I guess the cone just needed loosening up! Phew!

This little thing is unbelievable value for money.

New to Bass - this sounds lovely

I'm a guitarist and wanted a bass to noodle on. This amp sounds lovely for the type of music I like - blues-jazz-rock-funk basically anything but metal (just my preference!). It's light, not huge, looks good and most importantly sounds good. When the wife complains about the rumble I plug in the headphones.

Nice!!!

Love the new Fender Rumble series. I've yet to find another bass combo that sounds as good as these. The sound is consistent across the Rumble series. The 8" speaker is very tight and punchy. Surprisingly loud through headphones too. The small footprint makes it ideal for home use.
