Classic Bassman Style with Power to Spare!

Fender's Super Bassman® - the name says it all. Claiming its place at the head of the table, Fender's 300-watt, all-tube bass amp employs modern technology to maximize classic FENDER® tube mojo. With six 6550s in its engine room, this stadium-level head sports tasty mid-'60s Fender Blackface™ styling and two footswitchable channels - vintage (serving up classic Fender warmth), and overdrive (with the responsive, aggressive sound of a modern active tone stack). You also get modern touches such as Automatic™ Bias and an XLR out. If you need an arena-scorching bass amp, check out Fender's Super Bassman®.



Fender Super Bassman Bass Amp Head at a Glance:
  • Big power for big gigs
  • Automatic Bias: the best of vintage and modern technology
  • Two channels: the best of vintage and modern tone

Big power for big gigs
The Fender Super Bassman Bass Amp Head serves up massive power for the largest gigs. Playing arenas? There aren't very many bass amp choices out there. Now there's a new contender in the monster tube bass amp sweepstakes. Whether you're dialing up warm, round vintage Fender bass or tight and aggressive, modern bass tones, the Super Bassman delivers it all - at spleen-shaking volumes.

Automatic Bias: the best of vintage and modern technology
The Fender Super Bassman gives you the best of vintage and modern. You get Fender's classic tube mojo - juiced with sophisticated technology such as Fender's very cool Automatic Bias that keeps you from spending time messing with your amp's tubes when you should be playing. Automatic Bias constantly monitors and automatically re-biases tubes for optimal performance - and even alerts you when service is required!

Two channels: the best of vintage and modern tone
Fender's Super Bassman puts the best of vintage and modern tone right under your foot. The Super Bassman has two footswitchable channels - vintage and overdrive. The vintage channel serves up the round, warm, classic Fender sound of a passive tone stack. Kick this valve beast into overdrive, however - and prepare for shock and awe. You get the tight, responsive, aggressive sound of a modern active tone stack. "Versatile" would be far too weak a word. "Jekyll and Hyde" might be more like it...
