A Powerful Bassman Head for Classic Fender Tone!
The FENDER® Bassman® 250 HD is an elegant piece of bass amplification designed to deliver full power through a compression driver horn and two great sounding 10" drivers. Designed to be portable, yet powerful enough for gigging, the Bassman 250 HD has a high-quality XLR output, great for recording or amplifying a live signal.

Fender Bassman 250 HD Amplifier at a Glance:
  • A compact powerhouse of an 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 and tone shaping in a compact amp!
Don't let the Bassman 250 HD Head's light weight - only 39 lb. - fool you! This is a powerful bass amp, with 250 watts of solid-state power.

Built-in compressor plus 4-band EQ and "Contour" controls
The Bassman 250 HD 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. A "Room Balance" control compensates for difficult room acoustics.

Pad, line out and other features for pro use
Recording with the Bassman 250 HD 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 250 HD'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 keeps your amp ready, while the built-in effects loop lets you connect your favorite pedals. Plus, the Bassman 250 HD includes a tuner output for silent tuning and a headphone jack that automatically cuts the speaker signal.

Ruggedly built for action
Your Bassman 250 HD will hold up for the long run, with a real wood cabinet! The black carpet covering and brushed aluminum control panel will look great for years. So add it all up: great Fender sound, flexible tone shaping, pro features, and sturdy design, and you'll realize that the Bassman 250 HD Head is the ideal choice for steady gigging or weekend use!

The Fender Bassman 250 HD is a great match for Fender Bassman 115 or 410 speaker cabinets.
