Introduced about a decade ago, Fender’s Rumble line of combo amps was designed to offer power and portability at a reasonable price. True to form, the latest Rumble 100 provides all the tools a working bassist needs. It’s compact yet authoritative, competitively priced, and it can veer from springtime sweet to winter brash with a few small adjustments.
To Rumble is Human
The Rumble 100’s layout is one of the better I’ve seen on a combo amp. The front is dressed with Fender’s vintage-sparkle grille cloth, and the controls are wisely situated on the back edge of the amp’s top. (The ivory peanut-butter-cup knobs are a nice touch.) The only ornamentation is a simple Fender logo.
The control panel includes a gain control, three pushbutton tone presets (bright, contour, and vintage) and an overdrive section with drive and level controls. There’s 4-band EQ (with low-mid and high-mid controls) and master volume. The rear panel hosts inputs and outputs and the power switch. There’s effect send/return, a pair of 1/8" inputs (aux in and headphones), a jack for the optional footswitch, and an XLR out with ground-lift.

I have the 500. Never need to think about amps again
the 100 and 200 sound better than the smaller speaker 500, which is a "barker"
@@MacReviewzOnline Didnt know there was a 200?
This is a lightweight beautiful sounding amp, I'm satisfied with me owning one of the Fender Rumble 100 amp it has impeccable tone and beautiful clean sound quality. No buzz or hum just clean sound, unlike some amps don't have good sound quality at all and this amp is less expensive than the other bass amp combos on the market.
Can you hook up a pedal to the rumble 100?
@@tea3787 i don't have it but of course you can
.
Most demos on RUclips for bass guitar and bass amps are played in a slap style. Seldom (actually never) do I hear a demo with good bottom. Many of us still play music that requires nice bottom bass runs and zero slap.
I totally agree with to much slapping going around with bass guitars sounding like baritone guitars
Yep it’s like here’s a chance to show the chops the band never lets me play.
I NEED SLAPP
So true! I told students in my class that I "play" bass, and the first question I got was can I slap. Sheesh.
Amen.
The sound of a low B is just so good.
I gotta agree with you. Despite the reputation of some very fine bass amps--I own a GK MB210--when testing them using my 5-string Ibanez, the Rumble 100 projects notes along the first four frets of the B string with a bit better clarity and string attack. I therefore use the GK for down 'n dirty driving rock and blues, and the Fender (via the band's PA) for jazz/fusion, and songs requiring deep, clear driving thump. (Yeah, it kinda stinks having to bring TWO amps to performances, but that's what's required for our band's "sound.")
Finally a very good explanation step by step of all controls. The sound mystery can be very confusing for we novice and beginner bass players. Thanks so much for this well thought out narrative.
Really good demonstration of the amps features and how they work. Nice one mate!
I've got one, absolutely spot on. Watching this to learn a bit more👌
What an EXCELLENT review! No BS...well done. thank you
I had the rumble 500, size was too big. So got the Rumble 100 same tone but smaller format which suits me better. :)
Great review. I have one of these and it is great value for money - and being light in weight is really easy to move around.
do you play bar gigs with this?...thinking bout getting one,
@@chrisb48907 Doesn't it suck when these guys throw a video out and then ignore the questions? I've used the Rumble 100 for a couple years with both upright and EBG, in small to medium venues, and it has served me very well. If you're talking about a loud bar with a loud drummer, the answer is no. Look at one of the bigger Rumbles. The 500 should meet your needs.
I just got one, to replace an old Hartke combo which is 30kgs and bigger and has an outrageously loud fan noise.
I'm not playing out in venues now so the Rumble 100 is perfect for my needs at home and just 10kgs.
Wow. What a sound.
Nice demo. Thanks.
I actually now own this exact Fender Rumble 100w combo amp. My purchase was not made based on this review or any RUclips reviews as almost every review that I listen to is played in slap style bass. I have actually become annoyed with slap bass because that is all I hear in reviews for any bass amp or bass guitar.
I'm traditional style bass player (also play regular 6-string) and sing lead. It's not that what I do is rare, it's actually more common than most RUclips videos represent. 50's, 60's and 70's pop/rock music is still very popular.
When I'm listening to a RUclips video, I'm using recording studio style headphones that offer the full spectrum of sound from deep bottom to a punchy or crisp top end.
I have a few different bass guitars. I've got an old aluminum neck Kramer Dmz 4001, a Gretsch short scale and a Hofner Contemporary 500-1.
The Hofner has the best bottom of all three. The Kramer has the best sustain and best overall sound. The Gretsch.is really easy to play and sounds good on this amp.
The fact is the Fender Rumble 100w combo amp makes all three guitars sound great. Fender has done a great job with this amp.
The overdrive feature can be a little over the top for my taste. If you're playing larger venues with more than 300 people you might want to step it up to the 200 or 500W version. I've played a few gigs with it and so far it has handled everything I threw at it.
Excellent Demo! Thanks!
maybe the best looking budget amp on the market. and sounds decent too
Wish you had done some miked demo to tell us how the speaker sounds.
Getting mine tomorrow !!
Very well explained thanks you!
Great Review! ,Just bought mine!
How do you like it? I'm thinking about getting one.
good demo.
At quick glance I thought it was the guy from Pawn Stars on the thumbnail
chiefmachine24 hello everybody my names Rick Harrison and this is my fender rumble 100
He’s actually a pretty accomplished studio player in Nashville. Steve Cook.
Will this do well as a stage monitor for drummer and basis?
When you use any of the preset EQ buttons does it enhance what you have the EQ set at or does it basically override the EQ knobs and just go to the preset?
Do a review on the rumble 800 stage
I appreciate the info and I really just mean this as constructive, but it would have been nice if you had zoomed the camera out a ways so we could see the amp. All that was visible was the knobs at the top. It was mostly hidden below the frame the whole time.
Well that was useless. The big concern about a bass amp with only a 12" speaker is whether or not that's going to sound decent. By recording this video entirely with the DI, you're bypassing the speaker. That's an odd way to demo a combo amp, and really makes me wonder if it was done that way to hide the way the speaker sounds.
Pretty much everyone and their uncle plays 10" speakers and seem to be doing totally fine.
Speaker actually has decent bottom with little or no cone breakup...but you are correct above the theoretical uselessness of a DI based demo.
Zombieman he’s referring to the specific speakers that are used in the Rumble series. Not if 10” speakers are good for bass. I’m sure there’s a huge consensus that they’re great for bass, considering that they’ve been pretty much the industry standard for about 40 years now and the Ampeg 810 and 410 are the most widely used backline cabs for large venues or festivals, period.
I’m not a huge fan of the Rumble speakers. I’ve heard that the new model uses better speakers but I haven’t played one in a while but either way an Eminence BP102 isn’t that expensive and it’s any easy swap. I think it’s a really cool amp and it’s definitely loud enough for most situations. They’re better combos on the market, sure but for the price I think it’s a great amp for rehearsals and doing some gigs that don’t require tons of stage volume.
Correct, this is completly useless !
Great serie of demo's... Just looking for a possible upgrade of my current 50W amp.
I'v been looking into the Rumble 100 and hoping to try one anytime soon.
Just a question... Is that the amp clipping when you demo the vintage mode from about 2:38?
With the gain turned that low, he's not clipping the amp. There is no microphone to pick up any speaker distortion/clipping. The DI is clipping the recording interface.
I just got this to replace hauling my Acoustic 15" 100W because it weighs roughly 1/3 as much & my shoulders are both damaged. I've liked adding my Rumble 40W with an AB-Y and I also run into a PA. So I'm hoping it fills the bar as well as the other. It seems like it will from what it does in the living room.
Just bought one and might buy a 2nd one used thats a good deal and run them both together. I know the 500 is $649 and 350 watts 2 10s but I can get both 100s for $450 which is only 200 watts but more speaker area.
Running the Master volume at full, and adjusting the gain to taste, gives you a better signal to noise ratio.
Wait this thing has a headphones in??? So basically its a blow up your headset and eardrums plug in?
Fender rumble 100 or Ampeg BA 112 v2 ?
It is a great amp, but your forget to mention, that the XLR output is not independant from the main volume knob. This can be very tricky when having a live gig with a PA
Good comment can you explain what that means? i think it means the volume on the amp won’t control the pa? Thank you in advance.. 😊
@LocoWar usually the XLR has a constant output and you control the volume from your instrument or the technician with the mixer is doing it for you. With this Amp you the volume know also controls the XLR output which can be tricky. In most cases you would use the Amp also as the monitor for you and then you cannot control volume independently between Amp and PA.
Hi at 2:49 the amp makes a « buzz » sound, the player notices that,
In fact that Kind of little amp requires a limiter. I have à Montarbo combo it has exactly the same problem , it’s just a pity…
The "Bright" switch, gives a boost at 10K.
I'm using this Amp with Fender Jazz bass. I'm currently playing in a blues band and I'm having trouble finding my sound. Any suggestions on setting?
What sound were u going for maybe it's not the amp
Just wanted to see the whole amp. They refused to show it though
Which Bass is this? Nice
Direct out is a useless method for demoing a amp. I can't believe someone would even do this??/ So lame
You're right. To demo a combo amp it needs to be miked up.
Should be common knowledge. Might as well just call it an oversized DI box
At least we get a reeaaally clean sense of the preamp lol
In fact the amp sounds much darker with the cab, the DI is much brighter. Useless demo
@@AndreaAustoni I've found that PG's bass demos are among the worst of the "pro" gear review channels.
Is this amp Loud enough to Gig in medium sized restaurant with Guitar, Drums & Keys doing Motown? ( or do I need the 200 watts? ) Appreciate any input.
yes 100 is good enough
Interested in this amp for the light weight & overdrive option for use on leads . Would you recommed this amp for use with 6 string electrics also? i.e Epiphone nighthawk , Epiphone Casino.
I would. Notice how the Fender Bassman is now marketed under guitar amps:
www.guitarcenter.com/Fender/Vintage-Reissue-59-Bassman-LTD-4X10-Guitar-Combo.gc
Obviously, you'd probably need to provide your own reverb/delay, phase, distortion pedals, especially since the overdrive section of the amp would probably prove too lame for six-string guitar purposes.
What is with the sound on 2:47-2:48? It seems that deep notes played on 5th string (open, 1-st and 3-rd frets) have unnecessary overload effect... The same with D note (5 string 3 fret) on 4:52.
It's played directly rather than the amp speakers. The speakers don't do that
I don’t completely understand can more than one button be used at a time /the vintage, brite ? Or is it one at a time
He said you can use all of them at the same time, or a combination of them, at 2:50
Can this thing get that Lemmy sound?
+Caleb Keith not even close...
Good demo, but how accurate is the sound I am hearing? I know it is recorded direct...which means I'm not hearing the speaker - just the amp - right? If so, I appreciate learning about the amp and its features, but I don't really get to hear how it might REALLY sound.
This amp will kick your ass if u want it to.
Which model Yamaha is that? Looks n sounds great.
It looks like the BB425, but it could be one of the BB models higher up the line (read more $$).
It's a Yamaha BB1025x
Is the DI out pre or post? Thanks
post
If it was pre, you would not hear any changes to the sound?????
Is this loud enough for small venues with a dual guitar rock band?
it depends how loud the other players, ive found that if im playing with 1-2 guitars (with a drummer) it can range from loud enough, to just barely not enough to compete. if youre drummer doesnt play super loud you should be fine though. id say go ahead and get it
@@smiley19092 thanks for your reply, I'm a guitarist looking for a proper rehearsal-live amp for my bassist, he can't spend too much tho..
@@taxo if buying the rumble is too big of a risk, id suggest getting a tc electronic bam200 or bq250 and a cheap speaker cab
@@smiley19092 thanks for your suggestion!
Would this be a good amp for playing gigs with?
depends on what the guitarist using I think a 200 watt better for gigs
As long as you don’t have a loud guitarist or a heavy handed drummer it will do for quieter gigs and rooms. I wouldn’t try a rock gig with it though. For everything else it’s great.
Appreciate the review, but fwiw, when the demo is from the direct out, not using the speaker at all, we aren't really hearing the amp and so kinda defeats the object
We want to hear the amp speaker not output to something else!
Silly to do a demo when it’s only direct
Great vid but the bass recording is clipping
Rumble 100 or Hartke hd 75?
Rumble 100...
For tone either one will do but for portability for Rumble for sure.
I had a Hartke HD150 not all that wouldn’t recommend it apart from the looks and quality built cabinet but sound wise no.
Idk why it's so difficult to understand. If you're reviewing an amp and you just plug in the direct out, you're practically reviewing a DI box. If I'm gonna use this thing to either hear myself on stage or to fill a room, I need to hear how the actual SPEAKER sounds.
Anyway I've been using one of these for the last 5 or so years and it's an amazing pick up. It's also stupid light so you can can carry it around effortlessly, but the build quality is still top notch. I can't recommend it enough
Hey there. Thanks for the info on your amp. I am looking to do some home recording and might play out some small festival gigs. Would this be worth getting for my Squier Vintage Modified Precision Bass? Thanks!
@@1badsteed Bro I 100% recommend it. I've used it for gigs at churches, cafes, bars, birthday parties, you name it. The sound guys I've worked with really love it too because everything coming out of it just sounds like its supposed to. The bright, vintage and contour switches are also nice little additions to give it that extra push in whichever direction you might need it to go in various situations. I play it primarily with my Stingray 5 which is can be a quite aggressive bass in all frequencies, but I've also played a Jazz Bass through it here and there and it can do modern and clear just as well as it can do warm and vintage. As for home recording, it'll do everything you need it to no problem. Also as I said before it's stupid light. My old Peavey 50 watt combo weighs damn near twice as much. My one gripe is that I wish it had a dedicated mute switch. It's just nice for emergencies like when you have to unplug something during a live set. But again you really can't go wrong with this thing
This or the Hartke HD50?
Rakk this
Hartke doesn't seem to have the character. This really is a beautiful sounding amp.
I have both!!! Fender way better!!!! No doubt!!!
Why go direct on an amp demo?
This is a great, yet preamp demo, but that's an amp, not a preamp DI we're talking about.
I am assuming that the DI on the v3 Rumble series is Post EQ only ... it would be great if there was the addition of a Pre/Post switch on any future v4 release.
BTW: I’ve had a v3 Rumble 40 for the past couple years and it is a really solid, incredibly light (18 pounds!), and tone-rich little beast! Looks great too!
It’s a headphone “out” jack not “in”.
Saying its really really light doesn't help much in a demo or review. The Rumble 100 weighs 22lbs.
is it loud enough for hard hit drummer?
I wouldn't think so being only a 12" but there's a DI
There's also a 500w model
Just bought 500w model , best amp i ever had!
It's def loud enough for any drummer
Without PA support, probably not.
Here’s the Fender Rumble 30 in use: ruclips.net/video/VEKKJv5VzxY/видео.html
Seinfeld music.
Dark Nasty Thing......
What the hell!! Why u slap then u do finger style while u compare Bright or Contour or Vintage mode? Choose just one style and let us listen the difference!!! Review of a beginner that just want to show his skills slapping, even when it is not necessary doing it!!
Had a small'ish practice-sized Rumble, and that piece of shit completely quit working after only a few uses.
revolutionday1 I have one. My second one. Had to take in my old one cause it quit. Got the second for free. But it's an okay amp. Need something bigger tho
Where can I find normal video without f#cking annoying slap on bass?! 🤦♂
Someone erased the "made in Indonesia"at the back...
I see it, right there under the lowest grill on the back
.. And?
The reason I hate this guys' reviews is summed up in "it weighs nothing"...
...Get some scales , or check the spec, and tell us how much it weighs. It patently does not weigh nothing
It weighs 22lbs
***** I wonder how long it would take for you to Google it.
why they don't just tell, 22 LB.
There's a danger in being too literal and pedantic.
Whoever came up with the idea of using distortion on bass guitar should be 🤬
This amp sounds awesome with a regular guitar, though!
@@dclipper8052 I was looking for a good sounding amp to leave at church. Went to try the Rumble 100 out but then I tried the Acoustic B100C and to my ears the Acoustic won. I wanted the Rumble to win but just to muddy for my liking. The Acoustic distortion though sounds more fuzz like, dreadful...
@@calvinnapier9977 I just ordered the Acoustic B300C and had to send it back... the sound was unusable.
These aren't reviews.
What's your idea of a "review" then?
JamaisMEC Something that actually lets you hear the cab
thank you premier guitar for another useless bass amp demo because you go through the DI so you have no idea what the combo actually sounds like 👍
Sounds cheap
Santiago Rios Arango ....You sound cheap...too cheap to buy one.lmao😕
You can't really take a Di demo too literally as you're not hearing the speaker. But it's good at giving you a ball park idea of the tone(s) of the amp. This amp sounds fantastic, Ive played one in a band situation, and saving up to get one. Within five minutes I fell in love with it.
