Fender Bassman 100 Amp Customer Review
Sound: When turing the treble up, it gets really hissy, and the mids when turned up make to sound to boomy, I think. Ease of Use: I've heard that Fender amps sound the best when using Fender basses. I own a starter Yamaha, and a Esp five string. The Esp sounmds better anyways, but the five string loses definition when played (good thing I'm selling it anyway). Quality: Its made well, just not exactly what I expected. Its not powerful enough when my band turns up the volume. Value: Great for little, more private or quiter practices/gigs or for using it as a monitor.

"Fender Bassman 100, Quacks like a duck but can be a good value."
Sound: I will admit to being a novice bass player but I have played guitar and drums for decades. I bought the Bassman 100 because I wanted something small enough to fit into my highrise condo, yet have enough volume to be able to jam with my friends at house parties and also be easy enough to carry around. I also didnt want an amp with a lot of built in effects - you pay extra and the on board effect, though convenient, often suck. I'd rather have a clean sounding amp and run through my pedals when I want effects. The Bassman 100 met all of the above criteria. I have only been using it for a few days and three issues that may have me exchange it for another one are: 1) At one point I got a quacking sound (like a ripped speaker) while I was playing using my Ibanez GSR-200. If the amp does that again, I will surely take it back. 2) Once, when I turned on the amp, I got no or very faint sound of my bass. fiddling with the knobs on the amp and bass did not help. However, shutting off the amp and turning it on again fixed the problem. If the amp does that again, I will surely take it back. 3) I get an AC Hum from the bridge pickup which is more pronounced, the more I turn up the treble on the bass. There is a button on the amp next to the mute button that seems to reduce the hum, but not eliminate it. I dont know if this AC hum is to be expected (my guitar amp (Peavey Bandit 112) does it too). I would appreciate knowing if others have had these same issues and can explain their causes and cures. Feature: See above Ease of Use: Seems easy to use but I dont fully understand the setting of the midrange controls. Quality: Fit and finsih are good. I love the tilt back design and the no nonsense black print on brushed aluminum labeling. Makes it easy for an old guy with a sore back and bad near vision to use. Value: I paid about 100 dollars more for the 100 watt Fender than I would have paid for a similar 90 watt Behringer. Other reviews that I have read claim Fender is higher quality and rates its amps at RMS while Behringer rates theirs at peak Manufacturer Support: No. The Wow Factor: Well, if you like the cheap carpeting on the really cheap japanese econobox cars, you will love the looks of this amp. You defintely dont want to make love on top of this amp, because you will get some major rash! I have seen photos on other sites where people were selling their carpet covered amps because their cat was using it as a scratch post (rocking cat!). Overall: Considering the light use that I will give this amp, I expect it to be usable for 10 years or more. As noted above, it doesnt have a lot of bells and whistles, and my assessment is that this means that there are less things to go wrong.
