Fender have recently announced the release of a new series of Bassman Pro amplifiers. The New Bassman models deliver power, articulation and a classic Fender tone and design. Made to deliver a big bass sound in lightweight packages and feature Fenders special design Neodymium speakers by Eminence.
The Bassman 100T amplifier is powerful, innovative and versatile for both stage and studio - A professional-level 100W tube head, with enormous Fender bass sound and sparkling vintage Fender looks. Its dual-channel design uses modern technology to maximize classic technology, with classic Fender late-’60s/early-’70s “blackface” styling and a wealth of innovative features on the front and rear panels.
