Best Bass Guitar Amplifier Combo Amps of 2025

"I upgraded to the Fender Rumble 100 from a Peavey 20 watt amp, and the difference is night and day. Even at low volumes, my Fender sounds clear and powerful. It’s the ultimate practice amp—lightweight, well-built, and great sounding at an affordable price."

"I bought the Fender 25 bass amp for home recordings, and I love it! It's so powerful that I have to keep it on the lowest volume to not disturb my neighbors. It's perfect for small venues and offers great sound, lightweight, and excellent appearance. After trying other brands, nothing compares for this price and size."

"For practice in my dorm, this amp has performed perfectly. It's compact, gets plenty loud, and feels durable. However, I found the sound quality lacking—especially the low mids, which can sound warbly. It’s good for practice, but I wouldn’t recommend it for gigs or recording."

"I really enjoy this little amp! It's not super loud, but it growls."

"As a beginner bassist, this amp is perfect for practicing at home. I can turn it up without distortion, and the built-in tuner is a nice touch."

"I'm a music teacher and this amp is reliable and versatile. It sounds great and is easy to use, although it's not loud enough for a full band."

"I don’t often write reviews, but I had to for this little portable bass amp that I absolutely love! After two years, everything still works 100%. The battery life is incredible—I get 3-4 months of regular playing from one set of 6 AA batteries! It's been great for small gigs, practice with headphones, and jamming with my smartphone. It's lightweight and easy to carry with a guitar strap. Even after two years, my speaker sounds amazing!"

"As a beginner bass player, this amp has been a fantastic addition for practicing at home. The sound quality is impressive, and I can use headphones to avoid disturbing anyone when I practice late at night. Plus, the aux port allows me to connect my device to listen to music, making it a multi-use speaker. Its small and lightweight design makes it very travel-friendly!"

"I purchased this amp for my son, a semi-professional bass player. My first impression was how light it is! It's perfect for practicing alone, with a clean tone and an aux in channel that makes it easy to play along with music from my phone. I do have a minor concern about the power switch location, which might accidentally turn on when transporting. Overall, it's a great solo practice amp!"

“I'm impressed with this little practice amp. It’s portable and convenient for practicing while watching TV or in another room. The tone is fantastic in both clean and overdrive settings. I even connect it to larger speakers for more power. It's well worth the money and feels solidly built.”

“This is the smallest and lightest bass amp I've seen. It’s incredibly easy to carry, weighing just 1.55 pounds. The sound quality is surprisingly good for its size, and it’s louder than expected. I find it perfect for jam sessions with a small group. I’m thrilled that I can take it traveling.”

“After trying it out at a jam session with 15 players, I raised my rating to 5 stars! The amp was plenty loud in a large room, and many people were impressed by how much sound came from such small boxes. I realized the sound quality improved significantly when using batteries instead of just the power supply.”

"I absolutely love this amp! It offers a great selection of onboard effects and even includes a built-in tuner, so I can manage without a pedal board. Plus, it's only 23 pounds, which makes setup a breeze!"

"This amp is fantastic! I can achieve everything from a clean classic tone to sounds reminiscent of a Mayhem album, all without needing extra effects."

"I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and volume this amp can produce. It fits my needs perfectly with both passive and active inputs, effects send/return, and a headphone jack for practice."

"I plugged my 1970s Fender Precision bass into this combo, and it sounded phenomenal at all settings! Great for both home practice and gigs. The amp's responsiveness to my instrument's controls was impressive. The SGT, horn, and switch features added to the fun. I can also help my bandmates learn their parts through the two instrument inputs. Overall, this is a wonderful combo!"

"As an audio enthusiast, I can confidently say this amp is a sweet package of bass fun. The EQ is precisely tuned, and the 8” speaker delivers surprising power. While it may not be suitable for live performances, it excels at practice levels. The distortion is crunchy and fits the vintage charm perfectly. Crazy good for the price!"

"This is a nice-sounding bass amp that I've gigged with once. It's compact for practice yet loud enough for small gigs. I appreciate the lightweight design and solid build quality. However, I noticed it lacks a master volume, which could be an inconvenience for my setup. Overall, a great value for the money!"

"I find the Fender Rumble 40 V3 to be an outstanding amplifier for bass players. Its compact size is perfect for home use, yet it delivers powerful, clear, and warm tones that far exceed my expectations. The XLR output is a game-changer for direct connections to PA systems during small gigs. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a reliable and versatile bass amp!"

"As a bass player, I think this amp is awesome! The line out feature is fantastic for small live gigs when plugged into the soundboard. My acoustic sounds great, and my Jackson JS23 is amazing on it. However, my Schecter Stilleto 5 takes a bit to warm up before it works, which is odd since it’s not a tube amp. Regardless, the amp itself is great!"

"I started out on bass and found this amp to be very good for beginners. It's compact and offers a great price for the quality. Out of the box, I was impressed with its solid and clean sound. The inclusion of a headphone jack and aux input were must-haves for me. Overall, it's the best bang for your buck in this low wattage range!"

“I really love the great sound quality of this amp, especially the bottom end. It pairs perfectly with my Ernie Ball Music Man!”

“I found this amp to be a great lightweight option for gigs. It performed well and sounded amazing!”

“To my surprise, this unit can handle the B string quite well. The fidelity is impressive, and I appreciate the straightforward controls.”

"I bought this as a gift for my brother, and he absolutely loved the sound! He did quite a bit of research on it, and for the price, the value is unbeatable!"

"As someone who's been playing electric guitar for 37 years, plugging into this amp made me think, 'ohhh, this is what it's supposed to sound like!' It's smooth, predictable, with that gut punch when needed."

"I was impressed with how the seller packaged the amp. However, I found it lacking in volume compared to my Ampeg 50 watt combo. The built-in distortion didn't suit my Aguilar pickup Jazz bass, so I returned it."

"This amp is incredible! It delivers all I need and has a super smooth sound."

"I find this to be a fantastic bass amp with sufficient power for venues of about 200 people. The bass is deep and the sound from the speaker cabinet is really nice."

"I was surprised by how heavy it was, but I can't deny the sound quality is amazing."

"I powered up the amp and it worked well for a few minutes, then there was a loud pop and no sound. It has power but no output, which left me very disappointed. I couldn't return it before my trip to Florida, so now it's pretty much useless."
