Bass players have a hard time lugging their heavy gear around, so Fender have decided to make our lives that little bit easier. The Fender Rumble 40 V3 Bass amplifier manages to cram that classic Fender bass sound, playability and response into a lightweight combo amp. Weighing in at just 8kg, this is one of the best portable bass amps available today.
Redesigned from the ground up, this is the 3rd version of the coveted Fender Rumble 40 range, providing improved response and sound quality via a 1 x10" driver, 3-Band semi-parametric EQ and 40 watts of pure, solid state power.
This practice amp is also a fantastic option to record and play live with. You can use the headphones jack for silent practice, but also record direct to a desk or play through a PA thanks to the XLR connection - a highly versatile amp.

Very helpful. My daughter has just bought me one for my 80th!🎸
Cogratulations. ❤
Have had my Rumble 500 for about 2 years, LOVE it! Played it LIVE in loud situations, always clear and punchy, get a lot of compliments on my sound. Was using an AMPEG BA110 for practice, it was ok but didn’t sound like I wanted, just purchased a Rumble 40, and it ROCKS! Impressed with Fenders RUMBLE series.
Bought one 6 months ago. It's everything Dagan says. Love it. Great sound, portability, quality stuff.
Does it work well for practicing in a small room? Rock- reggaeish kinda band
@@Pick.41 definitely
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Dagan's reviews are refreshingly down to earth. None of that flowery "This enhances the mid-frequency sound-stage, without over-stating the more earthy tonal spectrum elements" that manufacturers churn out. Love the 'And this setting, umm, makes it sound...well, like this....'
Just copped one today. Loving it so far! Great range of tones and super portable
Best demo of this on RUclips. Thanks mate!
Just found a Rumble 40 with upgraded eminence speaker, like new for only 125$ SHIPPED, listed 5 hours prior. I hit the buy button faster than anything I've ever bought off ebay. So hyped!
Hello.. Did you have to add a bass port or any mod to make the Eminence speaker shine?
im turning the drive all the way up cause i can. gotta love Dagan!
just bought one of these today and I love it!!
Nice begining with "Let's go crazy"
Dude this lil amp is perfect for any gig. I play in a hardcore band with 2 guitars players, and even with just the clean channel i can hear myself just fine. Even when I jump off stage and moshing with the crown and playing at the same time, it sounds dope!
Same here I was having a hard time hearing myself I'm in a heavy metal band called magnetic and we have a rhythm and lead guitarist and with the drums I couldn't hardly hear myself until I got this lil amp it's pretty great for its size and lightness makes things easier for me the amp I was using before was a line 6 bass amp but this amp Is really good the sounding to it is awesome
Just with this amp alone? Im a drummer looking for a bass amp that can keep up with a set.
@@scuzzy_edits8200 Just with this amp alone? Im a drummer looking for a bass amp that can keep up with a set.
Good to know man
Just with this amp? Or you mic it as well?
Cheap bass amp, $1300 bass. These amps are great. I have the 200 watt version and it is amazing. Kills a whole jazz band and I’m still loud
Looks like a 2017 fender American limited edition jazz bass with cherry burst flame maple top. $2000 bass.
Dedalus69 You prove my point more 😂 I tried this bass out last week actually and god dang is it great.
Bought one. Love it.
Defnitely getting one - really seems to suit the fender jazz sound
True
Did u end up getting it?
@@owencashman8226 I did! It's great!
@@PoppyPooley guess what
Owen Cashman you got one!
Never a fan of digital amps, but it would be great if you did a Fender Rumble 40 Studio review. Interesting amps, the whole series sound excellent.
This is not a digital amp. It's a transistor amp if you mean that.
@@redbarchettta ...the studio is.
The Rumble 40 is a superb bass amp. I use mine for recording with a Squire Classic Vibe Precision and my 1977 Kasuga Stereo Bass (Rickenbacker copy built in the Ibanez factory back in the day). I've also see some superb reviews of the R 40w with a Telecaster plugged in and it sounds amazing... Thanks Dagan... I wouldn't mind that Jazz bass to ;o)
I'm getting Russell Brand vibes, just sayin
..and not in a good way, either
Aww hes a real dude this guy! Not rootin tootin booky wookin russel brand 😂 you sir do him an injustice haha
@@pleromicpastry5445 there's a good way to get Russell Brand vibes? Lol
Eldis snow 😂
Hi Dagan.... great videos mate! What I was hoping is that "someone" makes a video of this and other amps using a 6 string guitar to show if these amps could possibly be used for gigging in a small pub/ coffee shop as I've heard that they work very well.
I am looking at setting myself up to play in a small local pub and even though I've been playing "acoustically"for 50 years, I don't know anything about being amplified with vocals....( I am a techno Neanderthal) If you would please be so kind as to give me some pointers it would be wonderful.
Nice playing Man in the Box
pretty sloppy actually . . .
@@munter10 we’ll await your RUclips videos.
Nice looking guitar!
It sounds great even with an sm57. I wonder what it sounds like with a bass microphone.
I just bought one to practice. Am I able to play alongside a friend on drums with it? Will it sound loud enough for that? (Only drums not full band)
That's a nice sounding amp. Is it loud enough to jam with drums and guitars for rock and metal?
Not saying this is ideal but I have the R40 I practice on & stack it on a R100 when I play a bar. Not really too desperate for PA support in the places I play. If I wanted more volume maybe I could ad another R100. I sorta like the idea of the sperate units in the slim chance one should fail.
Do y’all think that this thing can handle an active 5 string?
Which Fender jazz bass is this ? I love the color !
So if I want the classic Hofner violin ignition bass sound (Paul McCartney style) do I turn off the overdrives and turn on the vintage switch and all the rest controls half way? Please comment anyone. Many thanks…. Another lefty baseman here.
Nice AIC touch... :-)
Bought one love it! Little amp big sound...
Are there any bass amps with an output jack for headphones?
I'm looking into buying my first bass guitar and I know very little about them. I live in a flat so I was thinking wouldn't it be sweet if I could learn on headphones so I don't disturb my parents or neighbours with the noise.
Did you not watch the video before you commented? This amp has a jack for headphone out. 🤦🏻♂️
I'm about to buy my first amp. But not sure about getting this one or I'm thinking in the orange crush 50 as well. What would you recomend me guys?
Orange will always be God-tier in the bass world, but they're double the price of the other brands. Not unfairly so, their products and craftsmanship is unparalleled. But definitely not good if you're on a budget lol
S it loud enough to practice with drums?
This is my first amp
Can you replace the speaker and if so what speaker do you recommend?
Eminence Basslite S2010 works really well. I added egg crate acoustic foam to three sides while I had the original speaker out. Measurably louder with all of the rumble.
I'm a drummer looking for a bass amp for my new bass. I don't know much about amps. Is this big enough to keep up with a drum set?
no
What microphone did you use to mic the amp?
Can you record from this?
Looking for an affordable start up bass and amp. Looks like I found the amp.
Is it only good for picked playing? You're only addressing one aspect of bass playing. How about the muted sounds of the 60s? Good "half" review.
I rarely use a pick to play bass, which I assume is very common. Why demo a bass amp exclusively with a pick?
because he is not a bass player, he is a guitarist
Crisapps so what you’re saying is: “this video should be retitled: review for guitarists who might have to play the bass from time to time and are looking for a cheap rig.”
@@honkytonkinson9787 ..and who want to look like a poser rock star while they rock out in their bedroom.
You underestimate how many bassists play with a pick.
He couldn't make it as a guitar player
Everyone remembers the big black ones ;)
I love it
The Yorkshire Ripper. Uncanny.
Hi, do you prefer Rumble 40 V3 or orange bass crush 50? 🙂
I want to know the same thing.
tbh just for the line out id go for fender.
Be aware, this is a really, really good amp. However, don’t plug it into a main PA. The PA will override everything and you’ll run into some overall level issues. I don’t really know how to remedy that but if you do, please post a reply. 🙂
You just mic it and run the mic to the PA ...
Do you play for spinal tap?
If you play do it the right way and use your hand too and try some motown stuff insted a piece of plastic.
Tried the 8” speaker and it sounded like shit. The 40 is amazing.
I have this amp love it has a lot of punch. I live in a apartment in Brooklyn Turned this baby up just a little bit more than unusual, my nerd 💩 neighbor was not as thrilled as I was, I apologized and cranked her up the next time, when no one was around I like it loud sometimes but I gotta respect the nerd 💩s dang, don't wanna get an eviction notice the 40 rumble can hang for sure.
I like it loud too but annoying my neighbors is something I wouldn’t do. Calling them 💩because they don’t like the noise isn’t cool though.
@@rvlewis1950 thank you for your response, it was not nice of me refer to my neighbors the way I did, however I could write a 📓 on these characters I will live by example.
Can this keep up with a Fender Champion 40 at a small gig?
That’s what I’m trying to find iout as well
Some other people in the comments are saying it holds up in a gig, I just bought one so I gotta see for myself lol
What did you find? I keep finding conflicting results with some saying it can and some saying it can't. I play in a church and other small(ish) environments with songs that aren't bass heavy so I'm thinking this is probably plenty for my needs but nobody can give me a clear answer. What would you think?
@@timothywarfel2137best to buy too much and turn it down then to buy less and have to turn it up lol
can you play a Moog Synthesizer thru it or will it blow the amp?
Mike Hunt GO HOME HIPPIE!
@@ASM881 someone salty?
Mike Hunt I'm just kidding man. Additionally I've got a cousin named Mive Agina that you should meet.
@@ASM881 That made me belly laugh and I got big belly.
Guitar player here: You bassists out there, are you liking it for recording? Thanks in advance.
Does it come with a power cable?
It should. Otherwise how will you use it?
Will this amp work with a bass that has active pickups??
Yeah!🤘
Is the XLR out affected by the master volume control?
I watched a different RUclips review that said it was. But he also said the pros outweigh that particular "con."
It seems it does. From the manual:
"The level and tone of the LINE OUT signal are affected by all preamp controls, including GAIN." Real bummer. To me this significantly reduces the usefulness of the DI. This seems to be true for some of the larger models since the manual is for the 40->200 models.
Maybe include a fingerstyle segment, thumb picking, maybe some picking away from the bridge, palm muting, what about featuring the neck pickup a bit...it is a bass after all, low frequencies rule. How about some flat wound strings in a bass amp review?....they tend to fit in a mix better. Bright, clanging "lead bass" is not everyone's cup of tea, ...but a variety bass tones included in a balanced, Amp Review. would be very helpful. This amp, as demoed, sounds like a one trick pony, which it is not. Just saying. MM
4:00 please please what is this song!!?!?!
Man in the Box by Alice in Chains
Could I gig with this?
You could definitely gig smaller venues with this yes!
With the xlr output you can plug it in console and pa system and works like a charm... Or mic it as you wish
plays with a pick..... almost didnt watch this but Dagan is alright in my books ill let the pick slide THIS TIME
I used to be "anti Pick" also. Its good to be able to use both.
@@sixsentsoldiers I was the same way until I realized that playing with a pick isn't about skill with the fingers but more about the tone and groove. I mostly play with fingers but it's fun to grab a pick here and there.
He must be a guitarist hence the pick. I'm a newbie and take private lessons and my teacher never suggested a pick and I prefer using the fingers instead.
@@sixsentsoldiers I play guitar with a pic just fine ! Bass no pic !!!
The whole stigma thing around playing bass with a pick makes no sense to me
Duff Mckagan, Paul Mccartney, Lemmy, Krist Novoselic Cliff Williams ect all used picks
Dose ir have tubes and is it good for guitar
No and No. Seriously, you might get by for playing an acoustic, but if you play electric guitar do yourself a huge favor and get yourself a decent guitar amp.
This is a bass amp. For electric guitar you need a guitar amp.
@@susiemuirhead561 Tell that to everyone rocking a bassman with guitar.
What microphone are you using in front of the amplifier to record?
Looks like an SM58
@@keenanmackenzie7843 Thank you! :)
It’s a Shure SM57
What is that bass being used? It looks absolutely stunning!
Looks like a Fender Jazz Bass
J G yep, from the American professional series (i checked out the sticker on the pickguard lol)
Definitely a Fender Jazz Bass.
@@markbradley5624 it's a lovely bass. I rented one out a few months ago and I could barely lift it up 🤣🤣🤣 much less wrap my small hand around the neck. I rented out an Epiphone EB-3 short scale that weighed 12 pounds. I just invested in a Sterling by Music Man Stingray Short Scale, weighs only 8.5 pounds and sounds just as good as the Ernie Ball by Music Man minus the hefty price tag.
Can you use it as a guitar amp?
You wouldn't want to.
@@johnnyssik why?
“Which is an aggressively long time” 😭
Any good for ordinary guitars?
You bet it is
Why? Just buy a fender guitar amplifier.
does this amp works to a practice session?
can sound as loud as the drums does?
Yes, I use it for the practice session with my rock band, But I should put the gain in 50% and the master in 65% - 70%. Maybe to live events this amp does not be the better option. If you have money buy the rumble 100 or 200 for the live events.
Really depends on the drummer and the size of your space and your guitar player(s) band mates. If you have a hard hitting drummer and competing with guitars playing with distortion it can be difficult. Keep the master volume all the way up and ease the gain up until you can hear yourself. I like to play with bass up and mids scooped when I play alone but with a band I will push the mid up and treble at 1 and the bass at 12. It sounds a bit harsh that way on it's own but it will cut through with a loud band. If that's not enough I will even (gasp) play with a pick.
Not bashing pick players, I just personally hate the sound of pick attack on bass and play much better and faster with my fingers.
My main rig is 400 watts. I play a GK 800 head and Mesa Powerhouse 2x10 and 1x15. This rig sounds great and gives me plenty of power but it isn't easy to lug around. I use this amp for home practice, I've only used it once with my band and I made it work but it wasn't ideal.
I would get the hartke fixed
Save yourself the embarrassment and trouble trying to make this "loud enough" at practice. Just buy the Fender Rumble 500 and be done with it. It'll be the best extra money you ever spent. Then you can just add another cabinet to it later for even more balls. Trust me.
Using a pick sure makes it sound tinny.
Ah i see what You did there snesking some man in the box rifs
You look like John wicks cousin Bobby wick
4:00 alice in chains :P
Play with a few different basses man.
unplug the mic....and see how it really sounds.......
Awful lot of jumping around for the few notes played. LOL!
I was about to say that he looked like he was about to drop a moisty while playing, like he was straining to poop. Its just beyond me some the expression people feel that they have to make when playing an instrument. Just think if they did the same thing to drive a car they would be pulled over by the cops with them thinking the person had a mental problem. I watched a video one time where a drummer streched his face so bad when playing, it looked like he was in severe pain, and it was even painful to watch the poor guy play, and he sucked at playing also! I just have no need to make a spectacle of myself when playing! I guess some have to do this to detract from being a poor player? But I am not gonna be mean to this guy, so I won't mention this to him...
That clicking from the pick sounds real rubbing-like through the amp. Yuck.
Redesigned from the ground up. Yeah, dont blame Fender. I'd put as much distance possible from the P.O.S Model Rumble. They were Terrible.
Wish they played with fingers as well so I don't have to imagine it :( sounds very bright and picky to me
(Also gotta say I'm pretty biased, I'm a "picks are sacrilege" kinda person)
its not a clean D.I out. master volume dependant 👎🏻.Fender could have done better
no pick man
Grow up.
But miked with a 57 **smh**... Gross 😖
Probably should've got a real bassist to demo these amps.
We shall await your RUclips videos.
its a bass! not a guitar! dont use pick pancho!
Very "repulsive" moves when playin' :) Just sayin
it was quite cringey. Dinosaur rocker
Why talking? Play, less talk, more playing and exploring!
youre not a bass player...
terrible review / reviewer.... lots of talking little playing and demo of amp.
What i hear isn't worth the money. No bass at all, just mids in guitar territority. That's garbage.
Well, it’s 40 watts through a single ten inch speaker.
I picked one up today because it’s an incredibly portable practice amp, really liking it so far.
I am currently playing 50 Watts through a single 12 inch speaker. A Boss Katana 50, which is a guitar amp and has more bass than the Rumble 40.
On your laptop? LOL!
