I just bought a Rumble 500 online. I hope it doesn't suck.

Musician's Friend and Guitar Center are under the same parent company, if I recall correctly.

Last 3 were off Reverb.

However they were all Masterworks series Yairi's, which are mighty hard to find in town, and almost always really well made. None had electronics, all were returnable, and I've never heard a bad one that high up in their pecking order. Helps to do your leg work, like not biting on just any 70's model Martin's, having a firm grasp on components/construction (woods in this case), and knowing their true value in case you want to resale.

Rumble 500


Combo or just the head?

I had a Rumble 500 head and it was great. Easy to get a good tone out of, not fussy, reliable etc. There’s a pretty good user made reference guide on TalkBass that lists out various settings for certain tones (80s hifi crystal clear, warm 70s tone etc.)

I thought those amps were big sellers, so I was a little surprised to see they’re not making them anymore. Looks like just the Rumble 800 and some combos.

Correct. I haven’t bought a guitar from MF in many many years but I still use them for other purchases. If you call their CS you can usually get them knock off more on the price (anywhere from 10-20% off depending on the gear). They also have a rewards program that usually takes off another 8% (but store credit).
