[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]I'm downsizing (!) and going down the Barefaced One10 route - so up for grabs is my Fender Rumble 500 Combo PLUS a fitted Roqsolid padded cover, PLUS a genuine Fender USA metal blackface amp logo upgrade (fitted). I [i]really [/i]want to keep it - it's one of the best gigging rigs I've had - but I simply can't afford to have two rigs on the go and that's all there is to it. The combo is in excellent working and cosmetic order.[/font]

[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]I'm looking for [b]£375 FIRM[/b] which will include the [/font][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]combo, Roqsolid padded cover (£55 value), Fender USA blackface amp metal logo upgrade (fitted - £30 value) and postage to mainland UK[/font][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif], which will be tracked and insured and will need to be signed for. I will send the buyer an ETA and tracking information. Combo will be very well-packed in original packaging. Payment is via bank transfer ONLY, please. My feedback is [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/263574-discreet/page__hl__discreet"]here[/url].[/font]

[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]If you want to try out and do cash on collection, I'm in SE London near the A205 South Circular. Now read on:[/font]

[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]...All you need do is set everything flat, plug in, switch on, and there it is - that great bass sound you have in your head. And the louder you turn it up, the more natural compression you seem to get - everything gets tighter and punchier somehow - just like an all-valve amp. It's very warm-sounding and organic, and it's difficult to get a bad sound out of (it also has 3.5mm sockets for Aux In and Headphones, both stereo, for silent practise - bonus).[/font]

[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]The Class-D amp sounds excellent and even though you're getting 'only' 350W maximum without an extension cab, this combo easily handles medium to large rooms on its own. It's LOUD. With an extension cab, you'd get more headroom, certainly a lot more beans and you could play [i]any [/i]room. Or at least up to the size of room that would surely have a PA, at which point the issue becomes moot. I think Fender have done their homework very well indeed, which would explain why these combos are shifting rapidly by the container-load.

Is it for you, though? For a punishing 50-date tour you'd need a extension cab and flight cases for sure (and backups)... though if you're touring you'd probably have crew, a tech, and could use whatever pro rig you wanted regardless of weight and haulage issues. But if you're a weekend warrior and chuck your gear in the boot of your car and park outside the pub or club you're playing in, then it's ideal. You couldn't want for more. Definitely horses for courses.

So, given the career course taken by your average real-world bass player, I'd say this is a very good horse indeed. It's light, it's loud, it's affordable and it sounds great - it's a premium brand and the retro design is on-trend. What more d'you want? [/font][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]I thank you! :)[/font]

I know, I know! It's hard to believe, but my current band is doing hundreds of gigs in smallish venues on tiny stages and I need a smaller, quieter, lighter rig! So I'm going down the Barefaced One10 route. :)

For most gigs my Rumble is set quieter than I use it for home practice!
