"Sound great - and hear yourself, too!"
Feature:
Love the compressor, the ability to dial-in the Mid frequency and the effect the Enhance button has on the sound. I mostly play by myself in my living room when everyone else in the house has gone to sleep. These features allow me to preserve the tone I'm looking for without waking anybody up.

Quality:
Solid, quality Fender. Seems very sturdy, no rattles, no buzzing.

Value:
This amp isn't worth the >$700 list price. I'd say $450 would be a great price for it...$499 seems a bit much.

Desirability:
Love the metal grille - it's stylin'

Sound:
Sounds great, even at low volumes. The built-in compressor is handy, and the XLR out options (pre or post EQ, ground lift or not) are great! It really does sound great with all the EQ knobs at zero. I add a little bass and treble to the default. It's really great - I just wish they had the notch and shelf settings that the BXR-100 has.

Support:
I haven't needed any service from Fender. I never needed to contact them in the 7 years that I had my old BXR-100 amp - nothing bad ever happened.

Overall:
This replaced a Fender BXR100 that I had for 7 years and sold to a co-worker a few years ago. I found myself back in the market for a bass amp, saw the Bassman 100 at the store, played it for awhile and took one home.

"Great tone, can't overplay it."
A little pricy, but that's Fender for you. Got all the features a non-pro needs. Good tone at any volume. Better than any other comparably priced amps that have more goodies. Get a pad anyway!
