Fender Super Bassman

been around since the 70s n heard/used Hiwatt-Marshall-Roland with Hofner-Fender-Rickenbacker-MusicMan. This is my very top choice for a valve amp that delivers good either in studio and live.

pros: pre and final valve amp; a smart biasing system that really let you choose how to manage the valves/sound; easy to carry and a typical Fender heavy duty crafting; just listen that Beatles "Here Comes the Sun" bass tone to mention one of the possibilities; you can select any of the two channel settings with the provided footswitch (quite handy on stage); it can be used alone in studio with *no* speakers .

cons: imho none! the price matches the quality you get
IMHO the promotional video doesn't really show you what you could get with this pearl...

my choice was to have two Fender 115 Neo boxes to handle the massive 300W RMS (not to mention when you capture that clear sound with a mic...)

Seriously. Just buy it.
I've had mine now 5 years.

I wish I could give it a hug and say nice things to it everytime I go into my rehearsal room. Except I've a problem with showing affection and intimacy.

It's my altar where I sacrifice blackened doom riffs continually without fail. I slake it's thirst with a never ending stream of low end fuzz chugging and it repays me in kind with the fattest, deep growl of a tone any boi would hope and dream for.

Thank you Fender Super Bassman xxxx

The Fender Super Bassman is a quality amplifier with loads of power and a full range of sounds. I prefer the tradition classic fender sound available in the vintage channel 1, but the overdrive channel packs lots of extra punch in channel 2. The amp is very heavy as valve amps usually are. It is well worth the extra effort to transport and maintain however. It is built to Fender USA's high standard. I have had many Fender bass amps over many years since the 1960s and this was no disappointment.
