Fender Rumble LT25

I think this is a common experience for bass amps under 100W or so regardless of what’s on them. If you have the ability to play at volume, or plan to play with others, people will outgrow them, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

It’s an excellent case study in why I recommend people do not prioritize amps with built-in effects. You want your effects separate from your amp, because it is really likely you’re going to want to play through things other than your current amp someday.

Effects on the amp don’t hurt it of course, and it’s really cool the thing has all the other amp and cab sims on it, that’s neat. But it should not be a primary purchase motivator.
