Fender Super Bassman Tube Amp Head - Secondhand

Full Description

All-tube power

The king of tone. Tube technology is still revered by bassists and guitarists worldwide for its unmatched tonal quality and colossal power. Boasting six 6550 power tubes, three 12AX7 preamp tubes, and a 12AT7, this amp is proudly all-tube. This gives it that unmistakable warm, crunchy, dominant sound which is sure to get your ears tingling. 300W of power means that your basslines can penetrate every corner of a stadium without trouble, and deliver that crushing low end to your audience's ears.

Dual channel flexibility

Clean or dirty. You can have it all. Two channels offer you a diverse range of voicings for your bass. The clean channel keeps things simple, with a regular three-band EQ section and volume knob. It makes you bass chime like a bell, with a clear, defined tone. Then there's the Gain channel, which features Bass, Mid Freq, Mid Level, Treble, Gain, and Blend dials for sculpting out your signature sound. This is where you can really add some dirt, and make your bass tone go from a crunchy grunt to high gain roar. Along with the core tube tone and Fender circuitry, these controls allow you to dial in sound which no one will ever forget.

Road-worthy construction

This is a premium amp. And as such, it is built to a professional standard – it was designed for the road. Take this on any tour and to any venue, and you can be sure that it will hold up. But it's not just about solid tone and rock-solid design – it looks stunning too. With classic Fender '60s 'blackface' styling, it truly is the real deal.
