I've had this amp a month and love it. Lightweight but sturdy, & really packs a punch. In noisy bars I still haven't turned it halfway up. Nice fat tone. Looking forward to seeing what it can do in outdoor shows.

I am by no means a professional player but this amp is so much better than all the ones I have used over the years. I have had Peavey's,Kustom's,Behringer's and the like. The tone with this one is so smooth but punchy. Just love it!!!

I had already owned the Rumble 100 and 200 amps, and was so impressed by them that I decided to add the 500 for a bit more stage sound in bigger venues. Just played it at New Year's Eve gig, in a pretty large hall, and it sounded great. The combination of the 10" speakers and the cabinet design allowed be to boom the bass and pop the treble, cutting through the drums and monitor volumes with ease. Plenty of stage volume when going into a PA handing the FOH sound. May add a 15" cabinet to get the full 500 watt potential for gigs with limited PA options.

I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WAS A FLOOR DEMO, A RETURN OR WHATEVER, BUT SAM ASH LISTED IT AS USED "LIKE NEW CONDITION" AND IT ABSOLUTELY WAS. PRICE HAD BEEN REDUCED AND I PULLED THE TRIGGER. AMP ARRIVED SOONER THAN EXPECTED, LOOKING AND FUNCTIONING AS NEW, AND I'VE BEEN VERY HAPPY WITH IT. TOTALLY SATISFIED WITH THIS TRANSACTION.

I use this bass amp for practice at home, with the band, and playing live shows at medium-size venues. It does it all without a hitch. This amp is a god-send for the working, traveling bassist who just wants great sounding, portable power without breaking their shoulder. Easy to grab and go, fits into trunk no problem. Great tone shaping options. I play a Rickenbacker through this thing and have no trouble making that bass come alive. I love the Fender amp sound.

Had my eye on the Rumble 500 for quite a while. I've been using the 100 for a practice amp and now that I am gigging the 500 will be a more versatile amp. Can't wait to hear how it sounds when I plug the 112 cabinet into it.

Versatile amp that can be used to practice alone, practice with any music through the line in port, practice with a band, play a show connecting through the house, or just adding a second cab to play venues without house sound. Light weight and easy to move around. The built in overdrive is pleasant, as well as the three preset tone shapes, yet the controls are not overwhelming. Incredible value.

This amp amazes with it's light weight and small size as it pumps out volume and fidelity. It has truly effective control over EQ with Contour, Bass, Mid and Treble controls. Two ten inch speakers give it quick response. Connect it to the new Rumble 1-15 bottom and you have a big rig pumping 500 watts into 4 ohms. They are hard to find because they sell so fast!

This is the perfect combo amp for anyone looking to start bass, or need something portable & lightweight. In addition, the redesigned amp makes it crystal clear in fidelity. I'm a staff reviewer at Sam Ash Music.

I absolutely love Fender bass gear, Being a huge fan of the previous rumble stuff I was excited to try these out. Tonality wise they were very similar, it's nice having the overdrive option and it has surprisingly wide parameters. SO you can ad just a tiny bit of dirty to beef up your tone, or crank up the fuzz to get some nice crusty punk tones. For heavy music with one guitar player the distortion feature is an absolute must and fills a lot of holes when the guitar plays goes to solo. It's a very practical amp as well. Small enough to fit in most vehicles, and so light my 92 year old grandma can carry it (and has) 500 watts is plenty loud to be heard over your blasting drummer and great on it's own with out any mic or DI help at practice or small clubs. But it does have the DI feature where you can go through the house with ease and basically use it as your own monitor while on the bigger stage. Fender bass stuff still rules. And this is a prime example of value for your dollar. a buck a watt? can't beat that. I'm a staff reviewer at Sam Ash Music
