Fender Bassman 500 + 4x10 Rumble Cabinets

Full gig-ready bass rig – huge tone, rock-solid reliability

Selling my full Fender Bassman 500 rig, including the Bassman 500 head and a used Fender Rumble 410 cabinet.

NOTE: original post had a Bassman 410 neo cab now not available.

All are in perfect working order and sound fantastic. This setup has been gigged regularly but always cared for — a great, budget-friendly way to get Super Bassman-level tone without the weight or price.

The Bassman 500 delivers 500W of clean, warm, and punchy tone with its tube preamp + solid-state power design. Its two channels give loads of flexibility — vintage warmth or modern clarity on demand.

The Rumble 410 is a used speaker cabinet and has reasonable signs of wear and usage however all in working condition and sounds great! A warm and round low-end depth. The main prize is the bassman 500 head that is a fantastic amp. Truly incredible for the price point.
