"The Best Bang for the Buck since I bought a B15 for $150 in 1972"
Feature:This combo came with wheels and a Fender pedal tuner; great value. The combo is rugged and looks great.
Quality:
High quality construction.
Value:
I paid $299, free shipping, no sales tax, free tuner and it came with wheels.... excellent value.
Desirability:
Great looking combo... has red lights that flash when you play. I choose to turn them off, but other folks might like them.
Sound:
I have owned this combo for a little over a year. I can dial in a great sound with my active bass, by fretless bass and my passive basses. I use it at home when I practice and take it to a number of places where I play live. I use the line-out function to the board and use combo as a monitor for the drummer and myself. I don't use any effects when I play. I own a variety of basses and between them and the Rumble I get the tomes I'm looking for.
Ease of Use:
Like any bass guitar or amp, you have to play with them a bit to get your sound right. Active, passive, types of pups and strings all make a difference before you ever plug your bass in. I have found this combo very easy to use. Sometimes late at night I may run the set list through my CD player or MP3 player into the combo and rehearse while using headphones; works great.
Support:
Rated "5" because I don't know; I've never needed support.
Overall:
I think this combo is a great investment. Moderately priced and I find it very versatile. I have played a lot of gigs with this amp and it has never failed me. The line-out feature runs me from the Rumble to the board to the monitors just the way I want it to. Anybody that has reviewed this combo in a negative fashion probably has no idea how to set up their bass and the combo's EQ.

"I WANT IT! I WANT IT! I WANT IT!.... PLEEEEASE=)"
Feature:Love it all... It is great...
Quality:
It seems to last for a long time. My friend's one is still in great nic and he is crazy. It could look a bit more interesting, but otherwise it is great.
Value:
It is a really cheap amp for what you are getting, amps are soooo expensive these days
Desirability:
I want it! I want it! I want it! It is so great and does look pretty cool sitting next to your bass.
Sound:
I have a bass and a crappy 10 watt amp. I can't afford a new bigger one. My friend has one of these an it is awsome I love it... just wish i could afford one...
Support:
All the people that I have rang about getting one of these amps were really helpful. I dont have one but im sure that the service support is really good.
Overall:
If it breaks... which i doubt... or if it is stolen... I would get another one just the same. There isnt anything that I dont like about it

Desirability:
not exactally a large stage amp but lound for smaller crowds
Sound:
this thing is loud. ive had noise complaints from my neighbors

"BUY YOUR LAST AMP FIRST! In the same price range as this amp, you'll find "beginner's" garbage. Do your homework, I'm sure you'l"
Feature:The cd input is kinda nice, when practicing alone...sorta like karaoke on a bass, playing along with your favorite artists. Low, mid, and high adjustments allow for different types of music styles. Music driven lighting effects is kind of disco, but a nice little extra... Downside? Would like to have seen a built in tuner.
Quality:
The construction of this amp is well thought out. There's the top mounted carry handle for gigs, and heavy duty corner protectors (not those crappy corner protecters I've seen on other amps that are paper thin, and fall off at your first gig.) The 60 lb. weight is a bit much, but I"d rather lug the extra weight, if it means better construction, and deeper more solid sound.When carried with the back of the amp facing my body, there are no protruding knobs to break, and no rear openings to allow for a punctured speaker. (Flying objects tend to scout out speaker cones, when transporting gig instruments.)Additionally, the heavy mesh cover over the 15 inch speaker front, spares the front, as well. (I'd like to see a custom "wheeled cradle" to set this amp into, for ease of moving...Just a thought, Fender:)
Value:
Two words: Awesome est!
Desirability:
It looks "masculine". What I mean is it looks and feels rugged. Kind of like the Eddie Bauer special edition trucks I've seen...all the usual and sometimes unusual functions, and the "beefiness" to go along with them. Like the Eddie Bauer trucks, the amp seems to have been well thought out; able to handle the "off road" bumps and crunches.
Sound:
This amp is a huge value for the buck. I was intending to buy the rumble 60 watt, but for the few extra bucks, I went for the 100 watt. It was money well spent. The amp is powerful enough to rattle windows, (and to rattle my family's nerves), but crisp enough to differentiate easily between notes. Even on slammin' playing, I don't hear any rattles...It's tight. When I say this amp sounds great, I don't qualify it with "for the price"...I mean this amp kicks butt! There's more than enough "clean" volume to overcome my heavy handed drummer.
Support:
I have owned this amp for two months now, and play on it daily...I've got no complaints to this point, but having played on a few of Fender's instruments, and always liking the quality of those instruments, I can't imagine their quality of service being less than 100%. If you want a good car, you buy a Rolls...If you want a good guitar, you buy a Fender. That's just the way its always been.
Overall:
I've seen the "great beginners amp" ads for other amps in this price range, and have been turned off to their "beginners" look and sound. This amp offers so much better quality than its competitors. I plan on playing it "into the ground", though by the looks of its construction, I've got my work cut out for me.The only reason I see myself moving on to another amp would be for playing larger venues, where more horsepower is needed.
