TurboGibby 2016 Its a good amp! My only complaint is that the “overdrive” isn’t really overdrive in the traditional sense, its just makes the sound of the bass louder and grittier, but aside from that its good!
The Rumble 40 is lighter and more capability but obviously if price is your main factor than this one is perfectly fine. But they all have a volume knob so if you can afford it? Go Rumble 40 over 25 every day and also get all of the voicing options from vintage to bright and so on. Upgrade the speaker to a Basslite and shave 3-4 more pounds off of it and enjoy increased headroom and a slight bit of volume due to sensitivity and you can have a combo you can carry with a pinky that is great for practice and small open mic type of environments. Great review and yes the 25 for what it is, is solid.
I have this amp and in my basement the acoustics are great I have a TC electronic BG 250 watt amp that I use for jamming this rumble was a replacement for my peavey pratice amp that I gave to my nephew I am alot happier with the rumble by far. Loud enough for where I live for sure, sounds great paired with a precission or my custom Toby bass. 130 bucks I could not say no!
One suggestion ... put string little bit higher from fretboard. I know it's softer for fingers like this but there is to much noise strings hitting other frets. Rumble 25 ... believe me it's better than my Rumble 15. There is annoying sound like it's coming from a pipe but .. it's cheap
sajberkurajber0167 kinda happy with the action the way it is and it's actually higher then most keep it. It sounds like that because of my finger picking attack not my action. If I want a softer sound I pick lighter & roll off the tone knob a little.
This amp just arrived at my door. Gonna wrap it up as it's a "combo" gift for my 2 youngest kids. Get them something to do other than that Minecraft b.s.
Nice demo... So what I understand is that the CONTOUR button activates the equalizers. Right??? Without engaging the contour it will just be the straight sound of bass heard, without any equalization. Am I correct?
We both have the Rumble 25 and a Super Champ, though mine is just the XD. A friend of mine threw out if I wanted to learn bass for when his band’s bassist moves away later this year, so figured I’d give it a shot to see if I’d be interested. Grabbed the Rumble from a pawn shop today and the bass that I purchased off Reverb arrives tomorrow. As someone that plays both guitar and bass, any recommendations to get started with bass? Must have bass specific pedals, songs that help switch the mindset from guitar to bass, etc?
I'm new to the bass and I'm on a limited budget what I want to know is would the fender rumble 25 amp be a compatible match with an ibanez sr300ipt bass I would most grateful for any advice thank you.
Don't think it as a match between amps and basses. This is a good practice amp. If you want something to play with a drummer you might find it a bit lacking. But if you want something to practice in your house or be able to take it easily with a friend or on the gof it's great. Just got one of these and I am loving it. Would play a gig with it, but I use it to write on it and practice. Hope this helps. And keep practicing!
@@humbermg cheers sounds like thats the one I'll go for as I said I'm new to the bass. So yes it's just for practice at home and to have a bit of fun with. Thanks for the advice and the words of encouragement 😎✌️
Not quite loud enough for a full band. However there’s also the Rumble 40 watt or Rumble 100 watt amps in the same series that are louder and better suited for full band situations
The worry I have about getting this amp is that my sound is the more hollow, deep, low sound but all the videos I see of people playing with this amp is very like buzzy, fast or jazz and slap sound. Can you play lower, less buzzy stuff on this amp?
I just played one of these at guitar center today I was very impressed you can't go wrong for the money and yes you can play deep not buzzy crapI was playing Black Sabbath stuff when I tried it out and the only bass I could reach off the wall was a cheap Fender Mustang bass but it all sounded real good.
@@Ty4Tiberius Cool I'm glad you got it I will soon be picking one up myself I mainley play guitar now but you just can't lose when picking up something of that high quality for such low money.
You can hear a lot of static noise beginning at 6:25 - normal? I’ve got two bass guitars and two of these amps and same issue. Seems like bad grounding.
Is there a way to shut that white noise electric sound it makes when U are just holding the strings, and not playing¿ On one of my bass guitars, I turned the volume nob all the way up and it stopped, but I'm getting a squire jaguar base guitar soon, and I don't think it will do the same as the one I have now. I don't know the brand of the one I have now, but it says Dean on it. I got it at a pawnshop just so I could start playing.
Firstly, love the username and picture. Secondly, the white electric noise you're talking about is probably interference. And if it's a cheaper bass (I've never heard of Dean) then it's probably a lack of shielding or a screwed up bridge-ground connection. Squier makes good instruments though, so I doubt it'll have the same problem.
Try a gate pedal. bit.ly/2w7fJEp Other than that, better electronics in your rig is key. Better cables, better amp with better circuitry, etc. Cheap electronics are always going to have some hum/buzz/white noise.
@@VenancioPortalatin I don't know if you were being condescending or not but "hearing" the low B and actually "handling" the low B is two totally different things. It was a very legit question
Anyone able to confirm if Itll be ok with a semi acoustic viking bass or not? I'm a noob and dont know, cant seem to find the answer anywhere either :)
Don't buy this amp it sucks it's a really good sounding amp but it has a Power supply issue I Bought one and I'm already on the 2nd one And I'll probly have to replace this one too because it's already starting to go out. It sounds ok the first mouth but then the amp just starts to lose power literally it sound amazing one mouth then the next the power supply Overheats and Slowly wears out to the point to where it sounds like the speaker is busted but The speakers fine And also you can't turn the mid or trouble up too high because it'll where the amp out even Faster if you want the app to last as long as possible you can't turn the mid or the trouble up only the base in the Volume only a hair This amps volume knob goes from can't hear it to to damm loud When the power supply starts to go out you have to turn on the over drive to even give it enough power to use it before it just quits
Thanks for the review. Picking up the bass after 50 years! Perfect for me!
Bought one two years ago paid $100 for it at guitar center saw one today at local store still $100dollars nice practice amp .
Nice review man!
Just what I was looking for!
Keep it up
_I'm going to get that amp for Christmas!_

Me too, lol
I already have that amp but the twist is I don’t have a bass it comes on Friday.
Thanks for the review. I just bought one for practice.
I'm from russia and I understood almost everything) thanks a lot!
cheers buddy, you have confirmed my gut feeling, at £115 here in the uk its a steal…cheers
Thanks for the review. Definitely gonna get one

Great review dude, do you have a tab for that bassline you're playing on the sound test. It's realy funky an I'd love to learn it!

Thanks bro.. nice demo. I just brought one of these. Perfect for me (a learner) at home.
Great review. You explained the product well.
How it compares to the Super Champ x2, assuming that another guitar is playing along with bass? How well you can hear the guitars?

Thanks for the kind words. Glad it was helpful.

Alright I'm buying this! It's about $215 (currency exchange) right now, in India.
Would you recommend it over an ampeg ba 108 for an active pickup bass?
helpful video, thanks for your time
Sounds good. Is that one 8’ or 10’ speaker?
It’s the 8. Perfect for home practice
Awesome review man!
yep, I also changed da tuners to closed ones \m/
Thank you for your review :-)

correct its more of another eq option.

Absolutely, it’s a great beginner amp.
@@VenancioPortalatin thanks brother!
Great amp!!
Great review
Thumbs up for the flats.
are you able to connect a mic to it? via what? for a small pa voice & music playing off a mac?
No, unfortunately there’s no mic input.
Had this amp about a month I like it but seems like volume is not up at times can anyone explain

@@Ty4Tiberius Cool I'm glad you got it I will soon be picking one up myself I mainley play guitar now but you just can't lose when picking up something of that high quality for such low money.
hey dude nice frindly and good sound review
Rumble 25 V3 or Rumble 30?
Ampeg V4
Rumble 30
What line are you playing? Or where is it from? I want to learn it lol
Just riffing a funk blues line from one of my songs
the first riff is actually " Born Under a Bad sign" I had to re-watch the video. Been a few years...LOL
Venancio Portalatin which one of ya songs
Venancio Portalatin 😂
Venancio Portalatin maybe do a short lesson? That line is addicting
You can hear a lot of static noise beginning at 6:25 - normal? I’ve got two bass guitars and two of these amps and same issue. Seems like bad grounding.
I have noise ground issues in my house but when i take the amp and use it elsewhere I don’t hear any static issues.
@@VenancioPortalatin thank you. I might have to exchange these amp speakers for something else.
Is this amp Tube Or Solid state?
Solidegg solid state
Solidegg solid state
I click on the video, his left hand is already killing me.
But super slick skills

Dean is a brand of basses & guitars. Lower to mid level quality.
So is the static from the amplifier or the microphone?
The mic on the camera. No static on the amp
Is this amp a pro amp
It’s a small practice amp. Not really meant for gigging. They have bigger versions that are better suited for gigging.
Can it handle the low B?
It’s a bass amp so yes
@@VenancioPortalatin im asking because cheaper ones cant...well i mean you can hear the note but its all kinds of messed up. thanks!
@@VenancioPortalatin I don't know if you were being condescending or not but "hearing" the low B and actually "handling" the low B is two totally different things. It was a very legit question
E Knight wasn’t being condescending at all.
is there any speaker distortion at higher volumes?
F or the most part it stays pretty clean when cranked. Mind you though, it’s not a super loud amp to begin with.
Mine won’t turn on, what do I do?
probably blew a fuse or shorted something . Not sure what to do without looking at it.
@@VenancioPortalatin thanks it actually did blow a fuse haha i returned it and my new amp works perfectly now
@@ukesanji awesome, glad i could help
Can I use it with my ukulele
I mean I suppose you could but it’s a bass amp so it might not give you the sound you’re hoping for.
Anyone able to confirm if Itll be ok with a semi acoustic viking bass or not? I'm a noob and dont know, cant seem to find the answer anywhere either :)
If the bass has a pickup then yes it will be fine as it's a bass amp.
@@VenancioPortalatin thankyou my dude, much appreciated 🤘
Hi, can you tell me the weight? tks
it's light
Benoice no shit
Idk exactly, but seriously light. Like less than 10lbs/5kg
God damn it I can’t play Black Sabbath or Korn or slipknot.

Doesn't sound like it has enough volume
Jack Mahaffey believe it or not the amp was cranked. It's just not that loud.
"Practice" All it's good for. No bottom end.
Agreed, it’s pretty much all I use it for. That and for writing bass parts.
jesus your beard
melkon1an yeah, it was massive for a while.
