The Fender Rumble 100 bass combo amp delivers serious low-end in a compact package for bassists of all skill levels.

For tonal versatility, a three-button voicing palette provides a variety of EQ curves to suit any musical style. The redesigned Rumble Series, re-engineered from the ground up to be lighter and louder than ever before with classic Fender tone.

Best amp for my needs

So I decided to get this amp today after hearing nothing but good things about it. I'm new to bass and I looked for an amp versatile enough that I can use for late night practice and not disturb the neighbors and powerful enough that could be used for small gigs once I learn to play. I chose fender for its reputation of durability and sound. What I love most about this amp is how light it is, it's surreal the power it puts out compared to its small footprint. My "no name" inexpensive passive 5 string bass guitar sounds really good through the Rumble 100 that I'm starting to appreciate it more. This amp puts out 100 watts at 22 lbs and the guitar amp I was using to practice bass (I know it's not recommended lol) puts out 15 watts and it weighs 18 lbs. Guitar Center did a price match and the salesperson was very helpful. I would recommend this amp to anyone looking for a great overall value.

This will not gig. I saw many reviews saying it would.

If you play any sort of heavy music, this is not for you. The 100 wouldn't even keep up with one guitar and drums. At least it was easy to carry back in since it's so light. It did great as a bedroom amp. It even gets a killer guitar tone, it's just not a gigging amp.

    I bought a practice amp. I don't know if it would do gigs, but I haven't gone past four on the Master. Really a lot more than I was expecting from 1x12. Versatile and light, My Stingray Special sounds awesome! It's a definite buy!

    #sweepstakes - I am very happy with my Fender Rumble 100 1x12 100W Bass Combo Amp. The tone is great and it seems louder than I need in a recording and practice amp. Some other posters have said it isn't loud enough for gigging but that seems surprising to me, but I haven't tried so I do not really know. I have a newer version of the amp and the XLR line out can be set to either with or without pre-amp effect.

  • I would buy again.

    Got this amp for Christmas back in 18' and man oh man has this thing stood the test of time. It's been through recording sessions, gigs, travel, and personal practice. I have never run into the slightest problem. It sounds amazing and can be everything from warm to bright. Love it!!!

    It will work with either but it is designed for use with a bass. You'll have a lot of low end for a guitar that may not have an optimal sound to it.
