Fender Bassman 150 Bass Combo Amplifier (150 Watts, 1x12 in.)
The Bassman 150 combo is a small package that delivers huge tone! Its tilt-back design allows for better signal monitoring in close quarters. With full power being delivered internally and a built-in horn attenuator, this combo is equally at home with an upright or an electric bass. A Fender Special Design Eminence USA speaker ensures great tone for practice, rehearsals, live gigs, and studio recordings. You won't believe your ears!
Feature:
Built in compression is awesome, along with a contour. If you're a tech head, the semi-parametric EQ is nice. Removable power cord is a plus and you can't beat the tilt back design. Oh! the horn switch is nice too!
Quality:
Nice! Carpet is not my thing, but I can live with it. I sat on it and I've ran it into walls. Still works. Don't think it'll ever die.
Value:
Little steep, but the Ampeg (100 watts) for the same price is also in the 400 range. With every amp, you're going to be paying for the name.
Desirability:
Everyone I know likes the looks. The silver panel and the black knobs give it a serious demeaner. The "Fender" logo on the grill is simple and doesn't scream advertising.
Sound:
It can go from smooth and bass, to harsh and with some twang. Just turn the knobs. It'll shake some loose fixtures.
Support:
Never had to use them, but I would assume they would know what they are doing.
Overall:
This is a great product for the money but, if you're going to be gigging I'd get a rig. This is good for practice, but I'd really like to get a head and a cab. (It keeps up with a marching band...)
