    What's your favourite setting? What do you think of the features on the Rumble 800HD? Would you buy it? T

      I actually bought it in June. So far, unless you have a really good ACTIVE 5 string bass and the gain knob under 9 oclock, the Rumble has a hard time reproducing a good Low B. It definitley lacks low end definition. But it sounds really good if youre into a vintage sound or any 4 string Fender style bass. Love the overdrive too. Vintage button is cool but the other 2 are useless to me. Great head for sure but id like to have a GK MB800 or 1001Rb for clarity and deeper low end. I tried the rumble against many other (Mesa D800+, markbass...) and the Rumbld 800 is the most powerful 800 class D amp ive ever played so far.

    • @TylerSpicer

      Jp Tet Interesting as I totally disagree about low end definition - but I’m using a Sadowsky PJ5 and an MTD AG5 USA so on the fancy end! What cabs are you using?
      We definitely have different tonal goals as I didn’t like the MB800 as much as this and use the bright switch on the Fender all the time. I think people on the internet think one size fits all and if one person likes something everyone must like it and this is yet again such a clear example of it just not being the case! I love hearing people’s preferences etc. And it’s amazing that we have so much choice when it comes to amps in this category! T

      @@TylerSpicer I used the Rumble 410 cab...must admit that since I got a GK neo 212 it is much better. I had a Am std Jazz V that I sold..and I have a 1992 Yamaha TRB 6P.

      Jp Tet I think the amount of power it puts out is really probably a little much for the rumble cabs dare I say it 😅 Nice basses man! Always wanted a TRB 6p - had a 6PII and it was a monster but just too large to ever be comfortable. Really I don’t think Yamaha basses are for me despite loving the brand and having owned most models - always ended up selling in the end!

      @@TylerSpicer so true about that rumble Cab 🤣🤣 . Totally agree that TRB 6P neck is so wide it makes it hard to mute all the strings you arent playing. But the sound is so great and low action makes it easier to play. That being said, im happy that bass kept me from selling my Rumble 800 and that amp is still growing on me.

    @Tyler Spicer Great review! I'm seriously considering purchasing this amp. I mostly play a Hofner 500/1, a Vox Constellation IV, and a Rickenbacker 4003, so I'm thinking the Vintage Button will be a nice compliment to the sound I like. I've been using a Hartke HA3000 for quite a few years. I usually run it through a Carvin 18" cabinet, and I also have a four 10" as well. I still like the Hartke very much, but as some of my gigs are becoming more important, it might be time for a bit of an upgrade. (I'd more than likely still bring it along as a backup, only because ya never know!) But from what I've seen here, I think you just made Fender and Guitar Center a sale! Thanks!

      @davebassP5 4 роки тому +1

      Tyler, you were spot on with your recommendation. I never got to try the Genzler i was also looking at, but more than happy with the Fender. I love the full tone. Might not be un coloured, but i love how it thickens up the tone. Only issue is those little buttons. No way to see if they are on or off. I keep playing songs with the wrong settings. Might leave them alone and just get on with it. I'm keeping my GK MB800, as i like that as well, but for now the Fender is doing a great job.

    • @TylerSpicer
      @TylerSpicer  4 роки тому +1

      Dave Pearce great news Dave! I think the buttons could be a problem. I leave the bright engaged and the others out, but difficult to tell if knocked in transport. Even with all 3 in I think the tone is useable. I’m sure your ears will let you know if it goes drastically wrong with your button insertions! 😜 Glad you’re happy with the head, keep me updated as you go on, not many of us exploring this head’s capabilities as it stands!

    • @davebassP5

    Hey Tyler! Very nice review. With 800w, I guess this amp is really adapted for stages etc, but do you know if it is also adapted to a “bedroom use”? In 8 ohms maybe…
    In the end, I wanna know if the master button is handling/containing well the power when the gain is set at 12/15 o’clock.
    Cheers!

      I've had this amp head for a few years now, and i use it in a "bedroom" setting all the time. Like you said, I have it on 8 ohms and running into my Fender 4-10 cab. I can keep the gain at 12 o'clock, but the master volume is almost all the way down. Sounds amazing!
      Then I use it on stage at church nearly every Sunday, still 8 ohms into an Ampeg 4-10, gain at 12 o'clock, and master volume at about 9 o'clock. Plenty loud to fill a gym, and playing alongside an acoustic drum set. Sounds just as amazing.

  • @petebjerkelund5088
    @petebjerkelund5088 4 роки тому

    Thorough review, thanks! Confirms what I have found 😎. I bought mine this summer, replacing a TCE BH500. I wanted a smaller and more straight forward head, and needed a ‘true’ 2 Ohm load. Next contender was the MESA 800 Metro, but at nearly twice the price. I A/B the Fender with my TCE head, and the extra 300watts for headroom was the clear winner (although it’s said the TCE is more like 360watts RMS or something) - and although the BH500 did handle 2Ohm, wasn’t really made for that ‘as advertised’ by TCE.
    Question1: do you find that when using the drive channel there is a bit of a cut in the clear it yet of the overall tone? It seems that when engaged, no matter what drive/levels, it kind of takes the edge off the overall tone. ?
    Question2: when the ‘vintage’ button is engaged, do you find it adds a snap sound with finger style? Like an over compression is going on; a ‘twack’ sound off each pluck.
