Fender Rumble 15 V3 Bass Combo Amplifier

The Fender Rumble Series continues to be popular in the entry to mid-tier price range, and the Rumble 15 V3 is their most affordable offering.

Aside from being the cheapest, this is also the lightest and smallest in the Rumble range.

At 15 Watts, and having an 8" speaker, the Rumble 15 V3 is ideal for low-volume practice or for small venue jams.

The controls are more streamlined compared to its bigger siblings, with a singly volume knob and 3-band EQ knobs positioned on the top.

Finally, it comes with a vintage style exterior design, based on classic Fender amp models.

Features

  • 15-Watts
  • 8” Speaker
  • Controls: Volume, Bass, Mid, Treble
  • AUX-In and Headphone-Out
  • Weight: 16 lbs.

Pros

General opinion of the Rumble 15 V3 is quite positive, with most users describing it as a great value practice amp. Many are happy with how easy it is to get good tone with its streamlined controls. It is also often commended for being light and portable, and for its vintage style appeal.

Cons

Given its low power rating and small 8" speaker, don't expect this amp to have enough power for loud jams. A few users recommend extending your budget by a bit to get its bigger sibling, the Rumble 25.

Overall

If you're looking for a nice looking and nice sounding practice bass amp, then definitely checkout the Fender Rumble 15 V3.
