I just came across this: http://www.guitar-bass.net/news/fender- ... mplifiers/ I guess we'll see if any more announcements are coming, or whatever. 8)

I was hoping they'd come up with something like these, because it's fun to be ridiculously loud. :P :twisted:

Bassman 800 Amp: Launching August 2016

Designed for the ultimate bass-playing experience, the Bassman 800 offers two versatile channels and extreme Fender tube tones, while mating perfectly with Fender Bassman Pro Neo speaker cabinets. The foundation of the Bassman 800’s tone is the two-channel tube preamp, which utilizes a pair of premium 12AX7 tubes. The lightweight (17-lb), 800-watt hybrid amp also includes Vintage and Overdrive preamp channels, XLR line output, tuner output, an effects loop and a footswitch for hands-free channel switching.

Yeah, I didn't see a picture of it, though. I'm sure more info will probably come out soon. 8)

OK! From reading that, it sounds like the Bassman 500 with an 800 class D power section. No need to reinvent the wheel when you've already got one of the most versatile and best sounding front ends in bass amp history.

Cool. 8) Now they should come out with one with the Rumble series, too. That way they have that option for under $1000, as well. While your at it, throw in a 2x15" cab for shits and giggles. :P

It seems like it's either or those two ratings, from what I've seen with other bass heads.

Naturally, you have to see it over in Europe, first. :P I wonder why that is when Fender is technically a US based company? I've noticed that with a lot of stuff. I guess they get first dibs.

I noticed that too! It's just a Bassman 500 push to 800. Let's see how long this one stays together.

They must have filled out one of those find out before anyone else alerts from Fender.

Hopefully, there won't be any issues with it coming out or anything like that.

Fender does a great job of beta testing before releasing any amp, so you'll be able to count on Fender's well earned reputation for extreme reliability. Fender also has a good reputation for honest wattage ratings. Most other companies would release this as a 1600+ watt amp.

The pricing on the Bassman 800 is currently showing, 869.84 British pounds, or $1,190.29. That's not showing MSRP, or street price. To me that appears to be MSRP, not a price found on SA, GC, etc.

Yeah, mainly it would be actually having them in stock for sale and not sold out. I remember that when the last series of Rumbles came out you couldn't get a hold of one, it seemed.
