Just picked it up last night. A shiny new Fender Rumble 500 V3! I know there's a forum for these amps but I'll get there later when I can discuss the ups and any related "downs" of its use.

Had a Line 6 Lowdown 300 for years, it was a reliable amp that I never had issues with but it's 90+ lbs was getting old. And over time I found that all those funky effects, while fun to mess with at home, were not very "gig necessary."

I've only had one night to play with this. My initial impressions are great sound and loving that 36 lbs since this has to go up and down our basement steps before and after every gig and practice.

The one downside so far is no built in tuner, surprised that wasn't included, I was very used to that from the Line 6 and now need a new plan.

Merry Christmas fellow Fender-ians! Or Happy Holidays if you don't celebrate Christmas.

Sounds like a cool amp, but I can't see the pic. There's nothing but a grey circle with a white minus symbol through it. You know, this has happened before on here. I wonder if it's the site acting up? Merry Christmas, as well. 8)

Well, at least I know it's not just me and my browser being wonky again.

Fender Rumble 500's are the best! :) I know you will enjoy it immensely.

NICE!!!
When I was gigging bass I was torn between the Rumble and an Ampeg PF500. Taking a gig as lead guitar ended that debate - for now ...
