Powerhouse Portable Bass Amp!

The Bassman 150 combo amp 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, the Bassman 150 is equally at home with an upright or an electric bass. A Fender Special Design Eminence USA speaker and a compression high-frequency horn ensure great tone for practice, rehearsals, live gigs and studio recordings. You won't believe your ears!

Fender Bassman 150 Combo Amplifier at a Glance:
  • A great combination of power and tone shaping in a compact amp!
  • Built-in compressor plus 4-band EQ and "Contour" controls
  • Pad, line out and other features for pro use
  • Ruggedly built for action

A great combination of power, speaker and tone shaping in a compact amp!
Don't let the Bassman 150's light weight - only 39 lb. - fool you! This is a powerful bass amp, with 150 watts of solid-state power. The 12" Fender Special Design Eminence USA PRO speaker delivers plenty of output. Plus, the Bassman 150 features a compression driver high frequency horn with its own attenuator to capture thumb-style playing!

Built-in compressor plus 4-band EQ and "Contour" controls
The Bassman 150 amp gives you plenty of tone-shaping power. The built-in compressor has a fixed threshold and adjustable ratio to provide a solid signal without overloads. The special "Contour" control is a variable scoop applied to the MID section for slap-style playing. In addition, you've got 4-band EQ control: Bass, Low and High Semi-Parametric Midrange (Freq/Level), and Treble.

Pad, line out and other features for pro use
Recording with the Bassman 150 is easy with the included XLR balanced line out. It features an independent level control, a pre/post switch and a ground lift. The Bassman 150's -6dB input pad handles high-output basses. You can control the high frequency horn with its 3-position attenuator switch (Full, -6dB, Off). A mute switch is great when you take a break, while the built-in effects loop lets you connect your favorite pedals. Plus, the Bassman 150 includes a tuner output for silent tuning and a headphone jack that automatically cuts the speaker signal.

Ruggedly built for action
Your Bassman 150 will hold up for the long run, with a real wood cabinet! The tilt-back cabinet has black carpet covering, a black metal grille and brushed aluminum control panel that will look great for years. The Bassman's spring-loaded handles provide smooth carrying. And at only 39 lb. the Bassman 150 will make your bandmates like you better!

So add it all up: great Fender sound, flexible tone shaping, pro features, and sturdy design, and you'll realize that the Bassman 150 is the ideal choice for steady gigging or weekend use!
