Fender Rumble 500

Fantastic option for medium budget basses

I play Bass for a small local death metal band and was previously using my guitar amp, when I went looking for bass amps this one immediately caught my attention, affordable price point, looked large and powerful and came with a lot of easily understandable features.

Boy, I was impressed before I used it, after using it I just felt even happier. This thing is monstrous, easily able to pump out plenty of sound from a practice space and a stage, and has a lot of nice features, with only a few that don't seem to be particularly important or helpful for me.

It's also surprisingly not all that heavy, making it relatively easy to transport and move around on stage for gigs, so it's pretty much perfect for me, this is the exact definition of "does exactly what it's supposed to do".

Rather than shelling out a few grand for a proper professional setup, I made the exact right choice with this, and if you are in a similar position as I am regarding money, this is literally a purchase that pays for itself basically. Zero regrets, pretty much perfect, many happy times with it.

Mighty Punch

Great Amp, it's big in sound. Nice and light weight. Can't go wrong with it.

Lightweight, solid and responsive

In terms of size and tone this is the best bass amp. I've owned. I was a fan of 15" speakers prior to this but I now prefer 2 x 10 " . With speaker out, line out and switchable horn this amp. does it for me.

Very light, yet very powerful

I am using it mainly at my home studio, but also have used it for some gigs. Amazingly light for the sound it is capable of emitting. Highly recommended!

Great solid amp for everyday giggin.

The amp is light, very light compared to other amps I've had in the past. In terms of sound, you can't compare it with a SWR or Ampeg SVT but this one does the job perfectly fine, not too expensive and this is loud enough to play any medium pub or marquee gig without going through the PA. Overall, great purchase.

I used this amp with my MIM jazz bass directly into the amp. It has a very stable sound, maybe a bit boomy for my taste. About power, no need to write much... it has plenty of it (half way Vol/gain pot is more than enough for mid size clubs). It is lightweight to carry. All in all a very nice amp for this price... can't go wrong with it.

Great Combo

This combo is a great unit, it is fairly compact and not too heavy and can be carried for quite a distance before the weight kicks in.

Sound wise it is a really powerful amp with a 4 band EQ and great sounding speakers which give a good bass thump, but this combo also produces a very good mid range and clear top end with the tweeter set on high.

The 3 preset buttons are handy, I use the vintage preset all the time as with my Fender Jazz bass it gives me exactly the sound I am looking for with the EQ more or less flat only needing a bit of tweeking from room to room to fine tune.

Great combo that gives me everything I need from a bass combo with plenty of power, great sound and portability.

It does feature an overdrive section but it does has never appealed to me so I have never even turned it on so I cannot comment on how well that works.

Excellent bass amp

It has everything you need. It sound awesome. Even the distortion channel is usable in situations. With extention cab which I'm buying it in the future this bass amp offers 500W of power. Even 350W without external cab it's loud enough. On max volume retains really good bass sound. Worth buying.

Game changer

Has the power to knock down a wall, and is light enough to preserve the cool look in front of crowd when unpacking the gear (instead of usual strugle, funny walk and face redness).

Bargain for its price.

Absolutly great for the money

Not the best sounding amp in the world, but for 500¤ that's the best thing you can get
