Looking for a powerful but portable bass combo amp? Look no further than the Fender Rumble 100! In this review and demo, Milan from MusicianWave shares his experience with this amp, which he's been using for close to a decade. He highlights the amp's lightweight design and versatility, with a solid-state power output of 100 watts, a single 12-inch Eminence speaker, and a 4-band EQ system with three voicing options. We demonstrate the sound-shaping capabilities of the Bright, Contour, and Vintage voicings, as well as the built-in overdrive circuit. He also notes the XLR DI, which is great for larger gigs.

What a great demo! No bs, just the stuff we need to know. Subscribed

[@L4sleeko]

Very pleased with mine. I got a big, pleasant surprise when I picked it up.

[@ozzpockettriesbassguitar5647]

Have one.....love it....was a little concerned at how light it was, at first...but, it gets the job done in fine fashion....and for the money, you really can't go wrong with it.

[@michael_caz_nyc]

Great amp. I own one and absolutely love it. No more lugging "back-breaking" gear for me. It sounds fantastic too. oNe LovE from NYC

[@kenjohnson3522]

Great Amp !! I also own the R200 which sounds phenomenal, but my 71 year old back wanted ultra light. Solution: I upgraded the 12" speaker to the outstanding Eminence Basslite S2012. It's all on TalkBass under upgrading the speaker in the Rumble 100. It's now fuller and more capable, and weighs 20.6 lbs.😂

[@StratBurst92]

Just got mine from Sweetwater, Great amp.

[@lennymo9088]

Nice demo. Great combo for the money.

[@Thelatejimreilley]

Great info but that damn obnoxiously loud intro needs to go

[@zekeyv]

This was a good video 👍

[@user-xf8is8qs2w]

You can max out the master, and set the input gain to taste. You get a better signal to noise ratio this way.

[@BrianPellerin]

I got the rumble 40 for home. Great brand

[@Smart-Alex]

Very cool, thank you. What bass is being played with the pearloid inlays?😊

[@lloydster7362]

I LOVE mine! I did the upgrades recommended on TalkBass. Lined and braced the cab, plus swapped in an Eminence Basslite S2012 NeoMag Speaker. My passive Peavey gets plenty loud! No problem versus loud drummer and guitars. 🤘

[@user-xf8is8qs2w]

The batting really helps with the sound, as does the S2012 NEO speaker. I've done the same upgrades to mine. Did you notice the output difference with the S2012? My amp "opened up" (more output) with the higher wattage S2012.

[@lloydster7362]

Not so much higher wattage but Speaker Sensitivity plus increased XMAX opened her up. I'm running an FDeck HPF inline of the Bass and Amp, too.

[@therocklins2022]

Could you please tell us how to connect the xlr out to the mixing console? Do we need to turn on the hi z?

[@TheBassfresh]

Fender rumble version 3 is IMO the best class D bass amp on the market. It's the only one that really sounds like a bass amp should.

[@nicholasbird1979]

Im assuming the bass cuts outbin hwadphone mode right
Thanks for review in Advance

[@user-xf8is8qs2w]

Replacing the stock Chinese Eminence with an Eminence S2012 GREATLY enhances the sound of the amp. Put some batting in the cab, and that will help, too.

[@davidmp1446]

Some batting?

[@JohnTochhawng-nr7yw]

Have one❤️

[@brandonhalvorsen2185]

Very helpful! Would you say it is loud enough for playing with a drummer without pa support?

[@MusicianWaveOfficial]

Hey Brandon. Yes it's defiantly loud enough for practicing with your band. That's mostly how I'm using it!

[@brandonhalvorsen2185]

@@MusicianWaveOfficial Awesome, thanks!

[@user-xf8is8qs2w]

I use mine with my 4 pc. band LIVE, and it definitely does the job.

[@gurumajuindonesia]

can this handle 5 strings Bass?

[@mikerome4362]

Yes, I have an Ibanez SR1205, and it handles as well as any big boy amps I've played through. It covers frequency down to 35, which most amps only go down to 40.

[@davidrobertson5881]

No one wants to hear a 5 string bass.

[@gurumajuindonesia]

@@davidrobertson5881 ok karen!

[@btrapp37]

Does it keep up with the low frequencies of a 5 string?

[@MusicianWaveOfficial]

It supports low frequencies pretty well but never tried it with a 5th string so not 100% sure tbh

[@christopherfidler3019]

in my opinion the Fender Rumble 200 is the best value in the whole Rumble line. The 15" driver hits hard and can handle a 5-string Low B well without sounding muddy, a compression tweeter that can be turned ON/OFF and the ability to connect an extension cabinet (112, 115, 210).

[@davidrobertson5881]

Who cares

[@mitchronshaugen8245]

You know you can actually clean fingerprints off of guitars?

[@jaypickard]

why play completely different riffs and dynamics when showing the different voicings

[@timothyholmes4218]

Clean that bass geez

[@frankfromchicago9248]

Basses should be played and not cleaned, as demonstrated.

[@user-xf8is8qs2w]

I don't like fret buzz, it's annoying.

[@nesjo7777]

Rattle, rattle, rattle……this is NOT a bassplayer kid.

[@AmericanAkosm]

Could be a bad setup- seems to be too low, as he didn't seem to have the problem in the higher register.
