How good is Fender Rumble?

Fender Rumble amps are excellent, delivering quality tones in a range of power ratings and sizes at fantastic prices across the board.

What is a good choice for an all purpose, affordable gigging bass combo?

We think a sound choice would be the Fender Rumble 500 combo. It has 500w of power with 3 voices (Vintage, Contour and Bright) with a switchable overdrive circuit and EQ controls. There are two 10" Eminence speakers along with a Compression horn to sort out the high end, making this a bass amp that can accompany you on any stage!
