Semi-parametric midrange controls. Contour control. Compressor.

The Bassman 150 combo is a small package that delivers huge tone! Its tilt-back design allows for better signal monitoring in close quarters. With full power being delivered internally and a built-in horn attenuator, this combo is equally at home with an upright or an electric bass. A Fender Special Design Eminence USA speaker ensures great tone for practice, rehearsals, live gigs, and studio recordings. You won't believe your ears!

I was in search of a combo to use for band practice and found one of these used from a local seller. I didn't have high expectations, and just figured it would make enough noise to get the job done and I was fine with that.To my pleasant surprise, I found it to be one of the most versatile and ear-pleasing combos I've played to this day. The Eminence speaker and the many tonal shaping features make it sound great with any music genre. Plus you'll find all the usual in/out jacks - even a dedicated tuner out. And the kickback/monitor feature is especially helpful!It's a shame they've been discontinued, but if you happen to stumble across one of these (or any of the Bassman variants from that lineup) please consider grabbing it!
