[@DeltaLimaBR]

Does It stands for rehersals and small venues?

[@LongMayYouRun]

Yes, I would like to know also, is a rumble 40 suitable to play background music in cafes or small hotels?

[@borndead1997]

@@LongMayYouRun yes, I would say you could definitely play a coffee shop type gig with a 40W Rumble. Its got plenty of power for that size of place. I would say the 40 would be the smallest one to get for that setting.

[@leedoss6905]

I bought the 40 and the first day it was home it shut off on its own. Later it would turn back on. Several days later I played it and turned it off. Came back the next day and it wouldn't turn on. Tried everything. Took it back to guitar center under warranty swapped it out for a 100 and paid the difference. Couldn't be more happy.

[@wtlisat5201]

Lee says that the small combo shown is the Rumble 25 yet tells Nathan that it has a 10" speaker. However, the 25 has an 8" speaker. If the combo shown has a 10" speaker it is actually the Rumble 40, not the 25. :-)

Bought a Rumble 500 last week. I can hug it and pick it up up without breaking my back 😂. I couldn't help compare it to my first ever bass amp I bought in 1975 - 50W Fender Bassman with a 2x12" cab - I think it weighed more than me at the time 🙂. Rumble matches and surpasses it. Love it. Can't wait to start gigging with it. Great demo and playing Nathan and Lee 😎

[@NRG2]

Hey guys! I think it would be really helpful for you to make a video which demo these amps by speaker size. I've just been turned on to how vastly different a 10" sounds from a 12"... I'm sure a lot of other bassists as well as myself would like to hone in their preferences between the two or three different sized speakers we are usually choosing from.

I've got the 100 and love it. My band mates still not convinced it is enough. At 67 yrs. it is simply going to extend my run as a player on stage. It comes to that. Not a bad thing life is good.

[@Liberty4Ever]

At 67, I'm sure you appreciate the lightweight 28 pounds of the Rumble 100 bass amp combo. At 57, I know I do, and I don't even haul it around for gigs.

[@basicoptimalmouse]

One of the nicest bass amps I've ever owned. The bright and contour switches on, with a bit of drive is just great.

[@SuperMajoras]

You still have it? I heard it has some issues long the way

[@fredparker3384]

Can u run it with the Gain knob all the way down?? Just want clean.

[@basicoptimalmouse]

@@fredparker3384 gain doesn't add drive, especially on a solid state amp. It's to increase the volume of the signal before it hits the pre-amp. It is a very clean sounding amp, and you just add drive with the onboard button.

[@evanposteraro5094]

I've got the fender rumble 40 and I love it! Great bass amp, got my support👍🏻

[@johncandido2241]

I recently purchased the 800 Watt Fender Rumble Amp and matched it with the Fender Rumble 4x10v3 1000 watt speaker cabinet and it sounds awesome. Think its all i'll ever need! Been an Ampeg man all my life but i wanted to give Fender a try and am very pleased.

[@johngilbert1634]

I have the 200 and can't speak highly enough of it. I bought it as a practice amp, but tone-wise, I'd put it up against anything else I have. And lots of head room for a combo.

[@pablocacaster]

loud enough for gigging?

[@oldburjo272]

pablo perez they sure are

[@j.c1574]

Are they loud enough for a metal band gig? And is it loud enough to ne heard over the drums? Our band has a really strong bass sound and I dont want it to fade away in the mix

[@el34superlead]

When demoing a combo amp wouldn't it be a good idea to mic the speaker. Well at least the pre amp sounds good we'll have to take your word for it as for power section and speaker.

[@MatthewWieler]

el34superlead Their pretty ok good. But if your used to a Cabinet, with big power you may not like the sound

[@dragooz8859]

gibbanz22 My bass player has the Rumble 200 combo. For a fuller sound, would you recommend using the XLR to the PA, or putting a mic in front of the speaker - and then through the mixer? Maybe an ext cab as well? Trying to sound "louder" live - 1 gtr, drums, singer, bass -- rock, punk stuff. Thanks!

[@gibbanz22]

Any venue with a good sound man and sound system should run your bass rig through a d.i. I usually run my E.Q. Bass at 8'oclock, low mid and high mid at 10'oclock and my treble halfway. With the contour and vintage switch pushed in and tweeter off. That usually does the trick.

I want the fender rumble 2x10 500 watt with the 15 ext cab. Hopefully it'll be the last bass rig I ever buy. Might mod the 2x10s with some better sounding spkrs. Too bad they dont have a 2x12 cab for the top combo vs 2x10s. Steve harris uses electro voice 12s for his bass sound.

[@TrashHulk]

I bought the 25 because of that sexy contour button and the overdrive. Here's the deal folks - it's crazy loud if you're just a bedroom player. 0 is about the 7:00 o'clock position and I don't think I ever turn it up above 9 o'clock. But for an extra $20, what am I gonna do? *Not* get it? It sounds phenomenal and the low end is really rich, but I feel bad for the poor woman who occupies the other unit.

The 25 comes with an 8 inch speaker, not 10 inch - that's the 40. Also the amp from the 40 is the same as the more powerful ones. I think you said it's the same from the 100 upwards.

[@Rik-Ahbece]

Well it really depends on what you define as 'the same amp'. The 40 doesn't have a effectsloop, the 100/200/500 do. The 100 doesn't have a horn switch or a external speaker socket, the 200 and 500 do. Maybe they ment the amp structure is the same from the 40 and up, just different values.. Who knows.

I actually remember one gig where I had a Thunderbird with really high output (passive) pickups rolled all the way up with a Big Muff I accidentally cranked with my foot (I never said I was smart). The sound guy approaches me after the set and tells me he ended up turning off the mic in front of the amp entirely and just using the speaker. This thing pushes air my dude.
