Description

Authentic Fender bass tonality meets a suite of modern applications; there's never been a better time to be a Bassman player. Powerful and versatile, this Bassman features a 12AX7 tube preamp paired with a solid-state power amp to deliver 800 watts of arena-filling amplification. Two channels, switchable via the included footswitch, offer distinct takes on historic Fender tone. The Vintage channel provides classic bass character through simple volume and EQ controls, producing an unmistakable thickness that keeps unwanted high-end fizz at bay. The second, Overdrive channel utilizes the tube section to deliver cranked, aggressive sounds, with an EQ section and blend control that let you dial in precisely the amount of drive you desire.

Equally at home onstage, at home, or in the studio, the rear panel of the Bassman 800 head opens up a world of possibilities for capturing your legendary Fender bass tone. Hybrid 1/4-inch/SpeakON outputs allow connection to cabinets with 4-, 8-, or 16-ohm impedances. An XLR output with a pre-EQ switch, ground lift, and level control ensures your DI signal is clean and reliable without sacrificing the tonality you love in the Bassman. An effects loop and tuner output are also included for seamless pedalboard integration, letting you deliver the most creative bass tone you can concoct.

To this day, the Fender Bassman continues to inspire bassists across the globe. Are you ready for a little inspiration?
