Product Review I love this amp. It’s powerful enough to fill a small room or enough to be a good monitor on a large stage. Also the fact that it’s lightweight makes it ideal for hauling.

Product Review The class D amp sensation really hits hard, and I don't think you can go better than this amp. It's light, more than loud enough to get you through live sessions, and a tone that punches, sings, and growls. A jazz bass with everything set at 12 O'clock really rips, I haven't found the desire to touch anything, save moving the high mids up just a touch when I really want to break through the mix. Distortion channel is surprisingly good too. Simplify your rig, just put this on the stage and forget about any bells and whistles. The fact it's so light is just a dream come true.

Product Review I really like my new Fender Rumble V3 500 amp!I paired it up with my Behringer 115 cab and wow!, this thing will get loud. The controls allow me to tailor the sound to suit any genre of music. One of the best things is the light weight. I lugged around heavy bass rigs for years, but now that I've retired, I needed something lighter to move around. I would definitely recommend this amp.

Product Review a couple of years ago I showed up at a gig that was supposed to be "backline provided" I walked in and this was what I was provided with.I was beyond skeptical looking at this thing and thinking to myself "well I'm not going to sound good tonight" This little dude was plenty of power and and sounded great. I will say this, if you play a four string bass, this is all you need for most bar and club gigs unless you are trying to keep up with a Marshall stack. The only issue I found with this amp is that it does not handle the low string on a five string real well. It kind of farts out when you hit a low D or C. A four stringer will be satisfied with this little brute.

Product Review I replaced a Rumble 40 with this 500. Couldn’t be happier. Plenty of power for both rehearsals and gigging. I added the foot switch to go from clean to overdrive live. Takes a little time to dial in tone. I recommend starting with everything at 12:00. Then tweak away. I promise you’ll find it. Future plans are to add a cabinet to get the full 500. In all aspects this is a definite 5 star amp with classic Fender bass tones at your disposal. Don’t think twice!

Product Review I had heard the stories about this combo from fellow musicians and thought it was too good to be true. Boy, was i wrong! After struggling for months trying to use monitor speakers and a plethora of DI boxes just to save on time with load in and to keep a small stage profile, i gave in and bought this. I used it all weekend and had no trouble whatsoever, in fact, my drummer said it was the best bass sound he had ever heard in his ears. I will never be going back to the same setup again, and will use this or a variation of this for a looooong time. The price alone is worth it, but the weight is really what brings this home. I was using a JBL PRX15 before which weighs a good 20 lbs more than this, and i can use my HX stomp for any effects that i need beyond the GREAT distortion already built into this amp! I will recommend this amp to anyone, anytime. Especially gigging musicians!

Product Review I’ve been using this amp for a solid 6 months now and it hasn’t let me down. I’m generally plugged into the mains using the direct out of this and the stage volume is perfect. On larger gigs I’ve paired this with the Rumble 2x10 cab for the full 500 watts and it is downright earth shaking! I can dial in any tone easily. Do your self a favor and try one out, your back and ears will thank you!

Product Review For the price you just can't go wrong with this amp. It's got a clean look, is easy to lug around for gigs, and puts out enough sound to easily hold it's own in a loud rehearsal or smallish show. It's a great pedal platform if you've got some preamp emulation going on, but honestly the default sound of this amp (and the overdrive channel) are serviceable for most rock situations. I would buy this again in a heartbeat.

Fantastic Bass Amp

Product Review I've only had this amp for a week now but it was a quick purchase in a pinch due to needing a different amp model(Eden EC210) warrantied. I've had the Rumble V3 amp series in terms of heads(200 and 500), cab(4x10), and 112 combo and they've all been excellent so I knew I could count on this one and the AMS payment programs and quick shipping got it to me in time to gig. The features that really stand out on this model is the weight! It's 10+ lbs lighter than the Eden and twice the headroom; also I like that I can add an extension cab if needed and run more speakers instead of different speakers(Eden combo mutes the combo speakers when connecting to a cab). I wish the unit had built-in compression but that's the only thing; and if you need compression you can get it from the drive channel or pedals. It totally meets and exceeds my expectations. Plugged it in first time for my gig and the band leader said it was excellent. Very happy with the tone and layout of controls/simplicity and load-in/load-out is a piece of cake. Highly recommended!

Product Review I come home from a stressful day at work. Having to deal with people all day kind of sucks. I come home and I get this big package in the mail and I'm ecstatic. I plug my bass in this amazing amp and immediately my stress is gone. The amp sounds amazing when I feel mellow and want to play clean, or when I'm feeling a little edgy and throw on some distortion. Its loud as hell so I can drown myself in what I'm playing and it even shakes up my room on how bassy it is. In conclusion I think this is such a great amp. I definitely enjoy and will enjoy it every time I play it.

Product Review I've never owned a fender bass combo before I was a little hesitant because I always thought my Head and Cab were perfect for gigs and home. I can walk out my door with Bass and Combo in hand! For years I've been busting my back as a local musician. Now I walk in and sit and play and this Rumble is powerful! Best product I've bought in a decade! i COULD KEEP GOING ON!

Product Review I bought this amp because I had a Fender Bassman 200 amp, so I was fully aware of the great products that Fender make. This amp has everything I need: Great response and reproduction when I play down on the "Money Frets," 500 watts that afforded me plenty of headroom regardless of the size of the venue, and last but certainly not least it weighs only 29 pounds!! Compared to the amps I've played through in the past this item is feather-light, which my back certainly appreciates!! The price is very reasonable! The sales personnel at AMS are very knowledgeable; speaking with them on the phone is like talking shop in person with someone at a gig. The interest-free payment plan is totally budget friendly. After my order was placed, I was able to take delivery in only 2 business days. Fender and AMS make a formidable team!! I would never hesitate to recommend Fender to bass players who want a fine amp, and AMS for a satisfying sales experience!

Product Review Before this i used a gallien krueger mb410 which absolutely sucks and had a weird farting noise even tho everything was fine (speakers, poweramp etc) acording to 2 amp techs. I sold it and i bought this smaller and less powerfull (350 watts vs 500watts) combo which sounds waaaay bigger than even the aguilar head and ampeg cabinet i use with one of the bands i play. Do yourself a favor and try this amp. Its the best out there period. Sound is warmer that more expensive amps

Product Review This thing is awesome! Bass amps have come a long way and this one is proof of it. I can't say enough good things about it. I've had it for a month now and used at 2 shows and 3 rehearsals. not only is it loud but it sounds great as well. I'm yet to find a setting that I don't like. My band mates love it as much as I do, It truly makes the whole band sound better. It sounds good with a guitar too. (clean and overdrive) I don't think there is another amp on the market that can match this for raw power and sound quality, not at this price. A quick search on the talkbass forums will yield pages of reviews on this amp. I cant wait to get the matching 210 extension cab, not that it needs it (already shakes the house apart). It will be all the amp I'll ever need. Thank you American Musical Supply. Without your payment plan I could never have bought this awesome amplifier.

Product Review I bought the Rumble 500 V3 because I needed something lightweight, and I had read great reviews on it. I received it the other day, and have been playing around on it...so far it's awesome. The vintage switch really fattens up the bottom end, and it's LOUD! I'll find out how well it cuts through the mix at my next gig this Saturday.

Product Review I purchased this item two days before an important gig thinking there was no way it would arrive in time. But it did! Not only did this amp deliver more than enough power I really like how I can switch between vintage and overdrive with a click of my foot switch. The fx loop is cool for adding chorus or flange too. At just 36 Lbs. its lightweight construction makes it easy to transport.

Product Review I am very impressed with this combo amp. Great tone and plenty of punch. I had a G-K MB115, and this Fender just blows it out of the water for power and low end. Eventually, the G-K blew up, so I turned it into a speaker-only cab with an Eminence Delta 15 LFA, and I've been using that with a 410 cab for a couple of years now. Adding that 15 to this Fender Rumble makes it just as stage-worthy as my bigger rig. My main goal in buying this amp was to avoid lugging that big 410 up and down my basement stairs. It's surprisingly loud! Plenty for rehearsal and enough for anywhere if you run through a PA. 350W alone, 500W with an 8ohm ext. cab (Fender blurb only says 500 - not quite true). I would have knocked off half a star for the overdrive section, though. It starts off way too fuzzy, so I really don't think it'll be all that useful to me - but I have a Sansamp Bass Driver Deluxe for that anyway. Overall, this is a solid amp, especially with an extension cabinet. And it's light, too!

Product Review This amp is great! It has all the bass and volume you would ever need and on board voicing with just the touch of a button. Overdrive is a nice feature as well. When I first got it, I literally plugged and played. Of course, I HAD to see how loud it would get and as I stated in the headline, this amp RUMBLES! Anything not nailed down was vibrating in my house! It seems very well built, and is incredibly lightweight as well. The features are what I was expecting and more. With 3 individual voicing buttons(Bright, Contour, and Vintage)you can change your sound to match whatever style of music you play. I like the vintage one. I play a lot of classic rock and some 90's alternative and it sounds great on that stuff. Sound quality it superb. Nice and tight low end with no "farting" of the speakers at all. Controls are located right on top of the amp for easy access. They move very smoothly with no sticking. I guess the only drawback would be if you stack things like other equipment on your amp the knobs will be hard to access. But otherwise not an issue. Tone is nice and smooth and full, sounds great at all volumes. The old saying is true: you get what you pay for. Is it a 500 dollar amp? Yes. But is it built to last you many many many gigs and sound amazing at every one? Yes. I dont forsee an issue with the durability and longevity of this amp.
