Super Bassman : Quality is king

8 years ago

been around since the 70s n heard/used Hiwatt-Marshall-Roland with Hofner-Fender-Rickenbacker-MusicMan. This is my very top choice for a valve amp that delivers good either in studio and live.

pros: pre and final valve amp; a smart biasing system that really let you choose how to manage the valves/sound; easy to carry and a typical Fender heavy duty crafting; just listen that Beatles "Here Comes the Sun" bass tone to mention one of the possibilities; you can select any of the two channel settings with the provided footswitch (quite handy on stage); it can be used alone in studio with *no* speakers .

cons: imho none! the price matches the quality you get

IMHO the promotional video doesn't really show you what you could get with this pearl...

my choice was to have two Fender 115 Neo boxes to handle the massive 300W RMS (not to mention when you capture that clear sound with a mic...)
