NOTE: The TUNER OUT {V}, POWER AMP IN and PRE AMP OUT {W} jacks are balanced TRS (Tip/Ring/Sleeve)
type jacks, with tip=positive (+), ring=negative (–) and sleeve=ground (GND). While standard shielded TS (Tip/
Sleeve) “mono” guitar cables can certainly be used, the use of “stereo” TRS cables may improve signal-to-noise
ratio and reduce hum due to line noise.
Thank you for choosing the Fender® Super Bassman® 300
watt tube bass head. This amplifier was designed to provide
the ultimate bass playing experience, with two channels
(Vintage/Overdrive), classic good looks and modern technol-
ogy designed to maximize classic technology.
The Vintage channel offers a classic Fender passive tone
stack. This "cut-only" interactive circuit provides a distinctly
old-school caramel-like thickness to the notes. The Overdrive
channel has an active tone stack, very quick and responsive,
with the ability to get incredibly aggressive. Foot switch
between these on stage for an instant tone make-over.
Fender Automatic Bias removes "tube anxiety" by constantly
monitoring and re-biasing the tubes for perfect performance
and alerting when service is required. Silent recording is easy.
Simply turn the Speaker Output switch to MUTE and capture
the Preamp tone out of the XLR output without waking the
neighbors!
The Super Bassman will provide a life time of thick, natural,
balanced tone that sits fat in your live or studio mix.
Enjoy!
A. INPUTS — Plug your bass into the input that sounds
the best to you! Input "2" is a lower sensitivity input (–6dB)
and provides cleaner response with high-output or active
instruments. If both inputs are used simultaneously, their input
sensitivities become identical, both –6dB.
B. VOLUME — Adjusts the volume level of the Vintage channel.
C. BASS / MID / TREBLE — Classic, cut-only (passive) tone stack.
Pull the BASS knob out for emphasis in the low-frequency
range (DEEP). Pull the TREBLE knob out for an increase in the
high-frequency range (BRIGHT).
D. CHANNEL SELECT — Selects the active channel as indicated
by the green and red LEDs. When the VINTAGE channel is
selected (switch in the down position, green LED), the knobs
on the left {B–C} are active. When the OVERDRIVE channel is
selected (switch in the up position, red LED), the knobs on the
right {E–J} are active.
♫
The included Footswitch can also be used to select channels.
See FOOTSWITCH {U} on next page.
E. GAIN — Adjusts the amount of preamp tube distortion in the
Overdrive channel.
F. BLEND — Controls the amount of distorted signal (set by
GAIN) to be blended with the clean bass signal. Lower settings
can maintain a cleaner tone, with some added grit. Higher
settings will produce more distorted tones and add sustain. Set
to "1" for clean tube bass signal only.
G. VOLUME — Adjusts the volume level of the Overdrive channel.
Use together with the GAIN knob {E} to set the overall loudness
of the Overdrive channel.
H. BASS — Adjusts the amount of low-frequency boost or cut
(±15dB) of the Overdrive channel. Set this knob to the center
detent position for flat bass response. Pull this knob out for
low-frequency emphasis (DEEP).
I. MID FREQ / MID LEVEL — Use the FREQ knob to set the
frequency at which the LEVEL knob adjusts the middle-
frequency boost or cut (±18dB) of the Overdrive channel. Set
the LEVEL knob to the center detent position for flat mid
response.
♫
It is easiest to adjust MID when the LEVEL control is at its
maximum or minimum, so that the effect of the FREQ knob
is more easily heard. Once the proper FREQ setting is found,
adjust the LEVEL knob to the desired setting.
J. TREBLE — Adjusts the amount of high-frequency boost or cut
(±15dB) of the Overdrive channel. Set this knob to the center
detent position for flat treble response. Pull this knob out for a
high-frequency boost (BRIGHT).
K. MASTER — Adjusts the overall volume of the amplifier. Pull
this knob out to mute all outputs from the amp except the
TUNER output, useful for silent instrument tuning.
L. POWER INDICATOR — Illuminates when power to the unit is
switched on.
