Which of these Fender amps would be most suited for my bass guitar?

[FortyFivePalms]

Hello Folks,

As I mentioned in my introduction thread, my brother Patrick passed away a year ago and left me his collection of guitars, amps and parts.
I'm keeping the lone bass from his collection, but I need to know which of his amplifiers would be best suited for use with it.

He left me four Fender amps. I know that he liked to buy old stuff off of CL & FBM, fix it up and resell, but he always kept the best for himself. Going forward, I want to learn a bit more about Fender amps in general, and these amps in particular. Any links to Fender online resources where I may be able to do some research would be greatly appreciated.

In the meantime, here is what I have:

1) Fender G-DEC 3 (PR699)
2) Fender RUMBLE 100 (PR 2465)
3) Fender DELUXE 90 DSP (PR 402)
4) Fender FM 25 DSP (PR 650)

Not looking for a perfect match here, but someting that would work in a casual setting.

Thanks in advance.

***UPDATE***

So, with just a small amount of research I've been able to determine that the RUMBLE 100 is specifically designed for bass guitars.

(Well, duh, with a name like that...)

I promise, folks, I'm a fast learner, I'll do better, lol.

I'm leaning towards the G-DEC 3-30 also as a practice amp (because of the digital effects), but I have to finish my research on the other two.

Using bass through an amp not intended for bass can fry it.

The impedance that the transformer is utilizing is a function of frequency; the higher the frequency that the speaker(s) are reproducing the higher the impedance. (A speaker rated at 8Ω is only 8Ω at a specific frequency...a frequency selected by the manufacturer, though I think generally they use 1kHz)

The reciprocal is also true; the lower the frequency the lower the impedance. Drop the impedance too low and the transformer will object. They do this by dying, often with a puff of smoke and a horrible smell.

You would be wise to stay with a bass amp for bass guitar.
