Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Fender’s Bassman 800 is an 800-watt bass head pairing a two-channel 12AX7 tube preamp with a cool-running Class D power amp in a listed 16.98-pound chassis. The Vintage channel uses an interactive passive tone circuit that cuts frequencies, while the Overdrive channel adds tube-driven overdrive with active three-band EQ, variable mid frequency, and blend control. Rear-panel routing covers a tuner output, effects loop, and configurable XLR line output with Silent Recording capability. An included footswitch changes preamp channels onstage.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Stage bass rigs needing an included footswitch to move between Vintage and Overdrive preamp channels.
- Studio or stage routing that uses the XLR line output, effects loop, tuner output, and Silent Recording capability.
