Fender Bassman TV Fifteen

The tube preamp is classy and simple, with black chicken head knobs sitting on top of a chrome chassis. It feels like looking down at the dashboard of your favorite muscle car, while the red jewel light glows, signifying “I’m ready to jam.” Two instrument inputs provide both a normal and a padded input stage, accommodating basses of various output levels. But don’t be afraid to lean into it. The more you push these amps, the more they push back.

The Bassman TV Fifteen offers gain, bass, mid and treble knobs, “deep” and “bright” switches and a Master Volume – and ups the ante with 350 watts of power and removable casters to make transportation easy. The TV Fifteen has a booming 15″ speaker that delivers the fantastic depth you can only get from a driver that large – you’re moving major air.

There is one indispensable modern luxury – an XLR output that lets you send a direct signal to recording or live performance gear. That way, you get the best of both worlds – classic Fender bass look and sound and easy compatibility with modern recording and PA systems.
