The Fender Bassman 100 bass guitar head is a tube based amplifier that has 100 watts of power. It has two 1/4 inch inputs for each channel and has two channels in total - one for normal and one for bass instrument. It has EQ settings for each channel, as well as a master volume. In the back it has a 1/4 inch speaker output to send this to a speaker cabinet.
UTILIZATION
The configuration of the Fender Bassman 100 Head couldn't be easier to use as it has quite basic controls. Because of this, zeroing in on the sound you are trying to achieve isn't too hard and there is a great deal of variety available. It is easy to get a good sound out of this and has a great sound quality overall. I don't have a manual for this, but it is easy enough to use that you shouldn't need the manual too much.
SOUNDS
The Fender Bassman amplifier is great for all types of music, but I have mostly used it in rock and pop with great results. I usually use this amplifier with a Fender speaker cabinet and a Fender P-Bass or Jazz Bass. I only use this amplifier with a clean tone, and I always get great sounds with this. Its ease of use makes it a quick process to get a good sound from this amp.
OVERALL OPINION
I've been using the Fender Bassman 100 Head for about five years and it is really one of the best bass amplifiers I have used. The sound is full and great for both recording and live use. The price is reasonable if you can find one used, and is great option for all bass players looking for a high end amplifier. All in all, the Fender Bassman amps from the 1970s are some of the best bass amplifiers around.
