Description

The Fender Rumble 40 Ivory is a 40-watt solid-state bass combo amplifier from the Fender Rumble series in an ivory finish. Part of the widely popular Rumble line, the 40W version provides a step up from the Rumble 25 with more output power for rehearsal and small venue use. Clean and Overdrive channels with a lightweight design suit players who need Fender Rumble reliability and quality in a mid-range practice and rehearsal combo at an accessible price.

The Phil Jones Bass BG-75 Double Four is a compact bass combo from PJB's Double Four line, the smallest family in the range. It applies the company's design approach of using small drivers for faster transient response and clearer midrange than conventional bass cabinets, in an enclosure built for maximum portability. The Double Four line is aimed at practice, rehearsal and quiet performance settings rather than loud stages. It suits bassists who need articulate amplification they can carry easily, particularly upright, fretless and acoustic players where note clarity matters more than low-end weight.
