To the point. My man. This is what we are looking for with gear 'reviews'. You went straight to letting us hear it in a live mix. Wish I could thumbs up you twice.🤘
I kind of disagree..can you really tell from all the loudness whether the amp can cut through? Maybe your headphones are better than mine cause all I can hear is drums, loud guitar and distorted vocals.
I've been playing bass for over 50 years. I got tired of lugging my 55 lb GK combo amp to band practice and got a Rumble 100. It absolutely does fine when we crank it up. If we play a larger gig I just plug it direct to the PA.
The older I get the smaller my rigs get :) However the latest combo I'm using is 41 lbs. Markbass mini cmd151p The great thing about the Rumble was the di and FX loop. It makes it a great gigging and practice amp. I've ran my helix into the return and this used it as a powerd speaker basically. As well as plugging straight in and gigging with this amp. Its a great option for someone who wants a lightweight but loud enough for jams. Thanks for watching!
Agree 100%. Lugging Heavy Gear is a Drag and Ruins the experience of performing Live. I have the Fender Rumble 100 and if we play Louder then that . . . the project is probably-not for me. oNe LoVe from NYC
Don't sleep on the Rumbles. I use a Rumble 40 for rehearsal and gigs. If the 40 can keep up with a loud drummer, then I'm sure the 100 would do fine. Thanks for posting the review.
If you cannot hear the bass in the videos. Listen on good speakers or headphones.This is a 100w 1x12 combo. It is not a full stack. It is not going to be the loudest or move a ton of air. It is loud enough to play with a band within limits. In a band situation like ours it works great. Provides enough sound that I can hear and (sighty) feel what I'm playing. In the video you will see the settings I used. The master volume was only halfway up in the video. There is a DI, if you wanted to go direct into a PA. I still highly recommend this amp to anyone wanting a nice lightweight and portable combo.
Yes!! This is the review that i needed! Thank you! I, unfortunately, recently had to sell my rig. Ive been researching decent, but lower cost solutions. This Rumble kept popping up, but i figured there's no way it'll ride with a whole band. Thanks so much for this, and the multiple angles helped. Plus, my head was bobbing to the music. I'll definitely be checking you guys out
Great video...I'm needing a small, lightweight combo for a laid back duo gig coming up...I've owned the Rumble 40, but just didn't get the feeling it could 'fill a room'...I've wanted to try the Rumble 100, and I'm pretty sure this has convinced me it will easily do what I need it to in a situation without drums, but a great PA and strong vocals to compete with...nice job...and thanks!
That was great. These guys with a bass that gets to loud gets kicked out every time. Its gotta be a low sound not a bright sound. You fit in perfect, that amp was good with the drummer...great rhythm section.
This amp is definitely by far my favorite small combo. The weight, volume, and tone you get for $299 new is hard to beat. It has enough volume at halfway to keep up with this project. Thanks for watching!
GREAT video! I agree, there should be WAY more videos like this! So, is it safe to say that the Fender Rumble 200 could keep up with a drummer and would be loud enough to gig with outside of a rehearsal format? How about if you added an extension cab to the 200? Thoughts?
The rumble 200 definitely within reason of course. Add an extension cab and you’d be even better. I used a GK MB115-II before buying the rumble 100. It kept up fine. Recently I bought a Boss katana bass 210 combo. But still opt to bring the rumble 100 due to the weight and size. I do plan on doing a video for the katana, when we start rehearsing again.
That helped me a lot. Guitar amps at 100watts always seem powerful, then you showed that a 100 watt rumble sits in the mix with loud guitar and drummer! Did you have it at full volume to hold up? I just ordered the Rumble 200 in sale at Sweetwater and am in full anticipation of it! Its only 140 watts becuz the full 200 unlocks with the ext cab.
I typically put the master volume around noon, maybe slightly higher. The gain I usually set pretty high for passive basses. The rumbles have a lot of headroom for clean volume. You can crank the gain and still have a clean tone. Active basses maybe differ depending on output signal. The rumble will keep up with my band situation fine. I don’t use it for live gigs unless the venue has a PA. I use a super bassman or bassman 500 live. Between the 100 vs 200. I would probably pick the 200 bc of the extension cabinet ability.
@@jacksonvillejared Thanks for the reply. Ill try to post something of me playing when the Rumble comes in. I'm really looking forward to it. I love the sound of your playing and the band sound really good!

Nice Review, what about the Rumble 40? Do u think It worth buying? i pretend to use It for playing church music (worship), however our church isnt that big... congrats mate! Cheers from Brazil! 🇧🇷🇧🇷 Edit: we also have a drummer that destroys his drums each training Sessions lol, or u think i should invest on something bigger? Sry for the bad english...
The rumble 40 would not be a good choice. The rumble 100 or 200 would be the bare minimum I’d recommend. If you’re wanting a rumble amp. GK mb112 and mb115 are great choices also. Don’t buy the bare minimum or you’ll just be upgrading again in the future. Thanks for watching!
My owner experience. It keeps up with a drummer. It can't keep up with 100W guitar amps. Thanks god it has a DI output so you can just enter the mixer. I gigged with it twice.
I have played live with the amp, only with PA support. The rumble 100 would not be a great choice for live use without it. In smaller venues you could probably get away with it. It is a 100w 112 combo, so there are limitations. Thanks for watching! 👍
Thanks man. It just show that it cannot keep up with the drums :) I hear mostly drums and vocal. Then bass and guitar are only background. Currently on rehearsals I'm playing on Fender rumble 500 and that amp is keeping up with the drums with a lot of spare power.
👍 :) try listening on speakers that are capable of producing proper low end frequencies. The 100 is perfectly capable. But not fit for every situation. I had the 500 and 200. They both work great. The 100 can easily be heard in the room at rehearsal volume, I’ve been using this amp regularly for over a year. Thanks for your opinion though. I love the haters!
@@jacksonvillejared I just played that on the system with subwoofer and then heard the bass :) I also had one 12" cab, Hartke HD112 with TX300 amp and it was not enough even with funk group, with second metal one bas not even heard at all. So for metal I'm using 410 Galien with 1kW amp and for funk Fender 500. Just the case is that we are playing loud, usually vocals have problems to keep up with guitars :)
Phones and such don’t do the video justice. But it is a great amp for what it is as stated in the video. I won’t argue something bigger will sound better. You can’t beat the volume and weight of the 100. In the video, I was only turned up halfway.
@@jacksonvillejared of course I can beat for example Marbass 102 traveller. Is much louder but has completely lack of bas. I had opportunity to play both traveller and Rumble 100. Sorry, I will still not agree. Rumble 100 is not for rehersals. Rumble 200 is absolute minimum for rock with 5 string bass. Rumble 100 is enough for Jazz.

Someone needs to get the lead guitar player a deluxe reverb, with a vintage 30, and a tele, yikes. And a compression pedal Or let him play in a rock band? Confused sound. Impressive this little amp is keeping up, bet it is easy on the back for rehearsals!
Much easier to move than my 810 rig. As far as what The guitarist is playing, everyone has their opinion on what would be better. Thanks for for watching
You could possibly hear it better. You lose the floor resonance though. In a room, I prefer it on the floor personally. However I had no trouble hearing myself in the room and there was still some room to go up on the master. Thanks for watching.
EVERYTHING would sound better if that room was sound treated. sounds are bouncing all over those walls, but only if that's a regular rehearsal room, otherwise if it has to convert to the wife's book club meeting room, then I get it. She probably wouldn't be too happy seeing bass traps in the corners of the room, and sound soaks all over the walls covering up her pretty clean paint. : )
You’re not wrong. However this is not my property. So the owner can do what they want with it. I love comments though. Thanks for the engagement, it only helps people see my video more. :)
@@jacksonvillejared I figured it wasnt your property. my son needs a bass amp so trying to figure out what to get. thinking the rumble 100 is the way to go from what ive seen and read it'll do for him. And integrity seems to be better than a lot of amps in this price range. I really base a lot on 'if it falls out of the back of the van' will it still work' mentality. I play guitar and all of my amps are tube and old and have no clue on whats changed in bass gear over the last few years. Bass player I jam with uses 70's SVT 8x10. good review though. Thanks.

It's sound great and punches above it weight class, but just spend a bit more and get the Rumble 100. You can play live shows with it and it's only 24 lbs and has Deeper Bass and more power.
Depends on the context of use. I have a R40 & R100. My knockaround is my R40. With the vintage button on it's a boomy little amp & usually does trick to fill a practice room at 1/2 power. For shows i stack & connect them.
