Toastie1 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Hi guys. I wonder if anyone plays a Fender Rumble 150 or 350 head ? They seem absurdly cheap for an amp of Fender quality. Is there a catch ? Any info.greatly appreciated. David. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy in the shop said they are pretty rubbish. I would have liked to have found out for myself but never got the chance. Not sure I'd bother trying one now.

Lozz196 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Back in 2005, when buying a whole new set-up, I tried out the Rumble. Think it was the 1x15 combo, whatever that was, and was seriously impressed with the sound, however not the amount of volume available - as in, not much at all. Hopefully they`ve addressed this since. Shame really, great sound, but not much point if no-one can hear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_Bass Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I would like to hear a review on the 112 cab, it would be a nice backup for my GB (with a proper speaker added) and good for leaving in the reharsal room. Not likely to see one showing in a near store any time soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconic Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) I looked at these for my 1st combo, and my friend has one....Rumble 150 I thought the sound was excellent but they seem to have a few common reliability issues...the 1st thing to go down is one of the inputs (active/passive I forget) seems to go down and main fuses always popping.

Cat Burrito Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 As a lifelong Fender fan I couldn't wait to try one out when they came out a few years back. The one I tried was enough to put me off. Fender do nice bass amps but there are better alternatives out there in the Rumble's range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
