"Thank you Fender!!!"
This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.
Sound:
The 350 watts and the 2x10" speakers deliver not only a modern 10" punch but also give you the bottom that a bass player needs.
Bottom line is that this amp flat out sounds really good!!!
Feature:
Volume control, Overdrive, 3 band EQ with semi-parametric mids, line in (rca)
effect loop, XLR line out with ground lift, headphone jack.
Ease of Use:
It has simple controls (not overly complicated).
Overdrive is easy to control and mix into your clean sound.
The tone controls are easy and the semi-parametric EQ for the mids works and is easy to dial in the sound you want.
Quality:
Fender seems to have built this amp very solid. No buzzing or distortion at higher volumes.
Manufacturer Support:
It's a Fender.
Value:
At $499 this is a great buy.
I would compare its sound and quality to amps much more expensive.
The Wow Factor:
Its Black, small, mean and lean.
Overall:
Fender seems to have hit it out of the park with the 350.
This bad boy is not for the week at heart. Used to be that the rumble series was considered a beginner to intermediate players amp. but the 350 has now graduated Rumble to semi-pro / pro type amplification.
The controls are not complicated and you can dial in the sound you want very easily.
I play a P-bass and a Stingray and both sound fantastic through it. On the back panel is (nothing) except the power connection. No extra speaker outputs.
The tone is great and with the 350 watts, there will be no problem keeping up with the drums and the rest of the band. (they will probably ask you to turn down) The 2x10" speakers deliver not only the 10" punch for a modern sound but also gives plenty of low end as well to hold down the bottom end.
I don't use much overdrive but you have total control of how much you want to mix in with the signal. the xlr line out is great for running your signal to a soundboard for larger venues. But this baby will kick butt in a club.
It's not very heavy and rolls easily on the casters.
For $499, its well worth the money.
Bottom line is I love my little Fender 350
