  • That amp is garbage. Luckily, I have an electronics pro friend with the proper equipment to fix the unintended shut off feature Fender failed to mention. Any great bass guitar work Fender is known for is wiped out if their amps are cheaply made. Go with a company that SPECIALIZES in amps. Marshall, Ampeg, etc. If the company specializes in a different product, then tries to take a piece of the $$$ from another market; DO NOT FALL FOR THAT BULLJIVE! The low price and temporarily loud, good sound, effects, and low weight is to ENTICE newbee suckers looking to save cash! That's all. ????

  • Outstanding amp for practice or jamming in a smaller to small/medium environment w/ a group. Lightweight but can shake the corners of a small room! The rumble 25 watt is great for practice but is limited. Get the Rumble 40. Be happy. ????????

  • I just bought one of these for playing/recording at home, and low key rehearsal or open mic sessions. It works great in all those settings, even when there's a drummer this amp keeps up fine (as long as the drummer isn't playing too hard!). I never use the overdrive as I prefer it clean, and to get the sound I like I have all the eq flat and the vintage switch on. After that any major tweaks can be done from the bass, a Bass Centre Betsy which is a 64 jazz replica with active EMG's. Love the feel of this bass and it couple's perfectly with the amp which is wonderfully lightweight for getting to other places.

  • Would you recommend I just buy a headphone amp (such as the Zoom B1x Four) and worry about amplification when I find a band then? I don't want to be that guy who doesn't even have an amp either and if I'm not even sure a 100w will be enough I don't feel like paying so much more for one

  • I regularly gig with it since 2 years: in pubs and small venues it can easily go without the PA, and I've used in big venues or outside venues sending it to the PA and just using it as my reference cab, and it works pretty well.
    the real top characteristic is that it's small and weights nothing, so I can put it on my motorbike or on public transportation here in Rome (Italy), without moving my car.

  • Always happy to see someone getting something for Crimbus. As it’s the season of receiving.

  • I bought the 40 based mostly on Josh’s Bass Buzz video and recommendation, and I’ve been very satisfied with its overall performance and frankly quite impressed with its power. I’ve rehearsed at high volume with two different bands — full drums, electric guitar(s), keys, and multi vocals — and although it’s sometimes having to be cranked to about 75% gain and master vol., it does produce enough volume to be heard and still sounds good. The tone is very nice and quite versatile. Personally, I like to run the vintage and bright buttons simultaneously; it gives you a full bodied low end with a touch of added clarity.

    For live applications, I set the 40 on top of a borrowed Rumble 200 combo for a nice little mini stack ???? How, you ask? By splitting my signal as it comes out of my Boss looper pedal! (I don’t use the looper live; it’s on my board for messing around at home with guitar and bass. Like I think all Boss pedals, it’s stereo/dual mono out, so “free splitter” ????)

    Anyway… Eventually, I aim to get my own 200, or 500, or maybe even an 800 (the new one with the 210 neo speakers). But I’ll probably never get rid of my little 40.
