UTILIZATION
The Rumble 15 from Fender is a neat product in the way of practice bass amps. The auxiliary inputs for CD or MP3 are a great addition - most players like to jam with some kind of backing track at least some of the time. It doesn't get wildly loud, but it's not designed to. Headphone jack is another plus if buying for a child, or if you live in an apartment and don't want to disturb your neighbors.
SOUNDS
The amp is very simple to use - volume, bass, mid, and treble - so it's not hard to get a good tone out of it. My only gripe with this amp at all is that it is one channel, and has no distortion sounds. The amp doesn't get dirty. And that's probably fine for most bass players - it's certainly fine for practicing in most applications - but it certainly is fun getting some growl into the sound and riffing away. I believe the thinking from Fender is either that most bass players don't use dirt, that it's just a practice amp anyways, or that it's a money-saver not integrating a drive circuit. Either way, it would be a nice addition.
OVERALL OPINION
Overall, a solid bass amp for practice purposes. The features make it great for keeping the sound down, and for practicing with a backing track, but that lack of distortion knocks the rating back a hair. It could also have just come with a compressor, and that would be great as well. Maybe in future incarnations? Either way, it provides solid performance if all one wants the amp to do is put out enough volume just to practice with. If that's all you want - a no frills practice amp - this is the product for you.
