Fender Rumble 60 > Reviews (1)

Now discontinued, but these range of amps were lovely. I have owned mine for many years, its been used alot, gigged a number to times and its still going strong. Whilst it is by no means a large amp, it packs the sound of a good high quality piece of gear, and works well when miked up. I have never had any issues of interference from other sources bleeding through it, and with distortion effects, can give a nice bit of feedback when putting the bass up to it, which is a nice thing to rely on if needed.

As far as its specs goes from the manual, they are as follows,

Oversized Plastic Corners

At the time I believe I payed somewhere between £150-£200 for it, and as you can see from its specs, it has features from amps beyond its worth, made with suprisingly good workmanship from modern Fender, whilst being a very affordable amp to do gigs in. You can use it in large hall spaces, to small venues, and it will still be loud and clear enough to project your playing well. If you are looking for a decent bass amp that is affordable, and you see any of these going anywhere give them a try, great value for money.
