Fender gives bassists of all levels a solid amp that can handle anything. Plug into the Fender Rumble 500 head for serious bass tone in a compact package! This black beast offers a pummeling 500 watts, complete with both gain and blend controls in the overdrive section, so you can bring the perfect amount of overdrive into your sound. In fact, an optional footswitch is available that lets you easily bring the overdrive in and out whenever you need some extra tonal tenacity.

Fender Rumble 500 Bass Amp Head at a Glance:
  • Sound-shaping and more
  • More than just a solid performance tool
  • Matching cabs complete your rig
Sound-shaping and more

The Rumble 500's 3-band EQ helps to shape your sound, and the 3-button voicing palette sculpts the sound further. Choose between bright (adds a treble zing to the sound), contour (low-end boost), or vintage (classic bass tone with deep lows and vintage character). These give you a ton of flexibility to find your signature sound. The XLR line output can pump the tone you love straight into the PA for bigger gigs. This will make your sound tech happy, since it'll greatly simplify getting you pumped into the PA. Need a little extra teeth for a particular song or passage? The Rumble 500's built-in overdrive has your back. Get the optional footswitch for instant onstage convenience.

More than just a solid performance tool

The Rumble 500 head isn't just about performance, though; it also helps you practice. It's stuffed with a handy aux input that you can plug your iPod, laptop, drum machine, or other practice gear into. And there's a 1/4" headphone jack, so you can practice late into the night.

Matching cabs complete your rig

To complete your rig, Fender has the perfect match for your Rumble amplifier. Choose from the wall of sound provided by a 4 x 10" cab, or choose the 1 x 15" for incredibly fat, powerful low end.

Fender Rumble 500 Bass Amp Head Features:
  • 500 watts for serious stage presence
  • Patented Magnetic Rumble Head Attachment System keeps your head safely in place
  • Vintage vibe with modern features
  • Footswitchable overdrive for extra aggression (footswitch available separately)
