Fender is thrilled to introduce new Bassman Pro series of heads and cabs that will tug at the heartstrings of bass players worldwide. Decked out in ’60s blackface, and supercharged with monstrous sound and rock-solid strength, the six new members of the Bassman Pro series are designed with world-tour ready features and enormous Fender tone.

The Super Bassman is a pummeling, 300-watt tube head designed to tear up the largest arenas. Features include a tube preamp (two 12AX7s) and tube power amp (one 12AX7, one 12AT7, six 6550s); vintage channel that delivers the full, warm sound of a classic Fender passive tone stack; overdrive channel that delivers the aggressive and responsive sound of a modern active tone stack; footswitch that allows to choose between channels; rear-panel Fender Automatic Bias system that constantly monitors and re-biases tubes for perfect performance and alerts you when service is required; speaker output switch that can be set to “mute” to turn speaker off and record silently from the XLR output; impedance switch (8, 4, or 2 ohms); master volume control with pull mute and Fender mid-’60s “Blackface™” styling.

Powerful, innovative and great for touring or recording, the Bassman 100T is the little brother to the Super Bassman, utilizing the same pre-amp married to four 6L6 power amp tubes. Unique to the Bassman 100T is a rear-panel output power switch which allows for full 100-watt power, quieter 25-watt power, or 25-watt silent mode, where the Bassman 100T’s internal power soak takes the heat. The XLR output contains both the pre-amp and the power amp signal, which makes it ideal for capturing rich power amp tone straight from the XLR output.

Fender’s new Bassman Pro cabinets deliver power, articulation and classy looks. Each cabinet, designed to deliver big bass sound in lightweight packages, features Fender Special Design Eminence® Neodymium speakers; compression driver horn with attenuator; classic mid-’60s Fender “Blackface” styling; ¼” and Speakon connectors, and built-in heavy-duty handles for easier transport.

The Bassman 810 NEO (4 Ohm, rated at 2000w program) and Bassman 610 NEO (4 Ohm, rated at 1600w program) cabinets feature rear glide rails, while the smaller Bassman 410 NEO (8 Ohm, rated at 1000w program) and Bassman 115 NEO (8 Ohm, rated at 700w program) cabinets have removable caster wheels and spring-loaded handles.

Great news Brad! I was waiting for these to be offered by Fender and now they are here. Beautiful style, that classic blackface look is killer! I want the Super Bassman head with the 8/10" cabinet for bigger venues and the 1/15" cabinet for smaller venues/recording, soon I hope, lol. Thanks for posting 8)

I've been using the 610 cabinet for a few months now and can't say enough good things about it. Highly recommended!

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

300 watt tube amp? Sounds like a monster!

The new Super Bassman has nothing to do with the silverface originals.

^^^^Re the Silverface original^^^^^Hi Chromeface I have a '69 silverface Bassman with a 2-15 '68 cabinet.If they come close to nailing the tone of this puppy with the new Bassman amps they'll have a hit on their hands.Although it's a bass amp it really shines when you plug a guitar into it especially something with humbuckers like my Guild S-100 NB.I love the retro look of the new amps it gives a nod to the handsome amps of the 60s.

With 300 Watts RMS of power the Super Bassman is a REAL tone monster, IMHO!!! :D

However, the specs sheet is a bit confusing. It lists "black/silver" as a color for the cosmetics.

Dude, it's really an all-out blackface design or Fender offers also these amps with optional silverface cosmetics?

Hey Brad,
Any tests of these amps using them as an electric guitar amp?

Brad, just purchased the new Super Bassman 300 from MF- lack of volume seems to be an issue, set to 3 on Master and 3 on vintage channel and its very low in level. Same for overdrive channel. I own the old Bassman Pro 300 which is significantly louder at those same settings with no other changes in setup. Actually, build date on this "new" product is Feb 2011? Any thoughts or help? I can probably just exchange for a new one but any assistance would be great!
