Product Spotlight: Fender Bass Amps

The live music scene of the 1940's in Southern California was burgeoning. Musicians were turning their instruments up to higher volumes as bands developed their signature sounds. As these levels rose, traditional acoustic bass instruments were being drowned out by their electric counterparts. Seizing on this opportunity to supply the working musician with the best tools possible, Leo Fender started working on a whole new range of musical equipment and in 1951, a brand new instrument entered the world; the Fender Precision Electric Bass Guitar.

Along with his new 'P' bass, Fender developed amps specifically for these new instruments, which in turn formed the sonic platform of modern music in all its styles and genres.  Here at The Music Spot we are proud to showcase our range of Fender Bass Guitar Amps in this week's Product Spotlight.

The Super Bassman 300 is a two channel all tube bass head with matching cabinet. 2 x 12AX7 pre amp tubes along with a 12AX7, a 12AT7 and six 6550 tubes in the power amp section pump out 300 watts of thick, natural, balanced tone perfect for live performance, or any studio application. 

The Vintage channel delivers the full, warm, classic bass sound Fender amps are renown for while the Overdrive channel delivers an aggressive and modern voiced tone stack. An optional foot switch allows effortless switching between the two channels.


The Super Bassman 300 is not only capable of pumping out stadium level volume. Turning the on board Speaker Output switch to Mute bypasses the speakers to provide a tube driven XLR output for recording at home straight from the preamp section. Brilliant!


Combined with the Bassman 610 1600 watt speaker cabinet, you have a fully professional bass rig and an all tube driven recording amp in one.


The Rumble series of bass amps have been re-engineered from the ground making them louder and lighter than ever. 

The Rumble 500 V3 Combo produces 500 watts of power channeled through a 10" Eminence speaker and a high end tweeter that can be turned on or off. It is also possible to connect an external cabinet if required. Channel switching is also included providing the ability to switch from Vintage to Overdrive mode. A four band eq means you can tune the amp to any room or stage. An XLR line out connects you to a stagebox too meaning you don't need a separate DI. As with all the Rumble models there is a headphone output and an AUX line in for playing along with your media player. Perfect for practice!


The Rumble 40 V3 and Rumble 25 V3 are the little brothers to the 500 delivering 40 watts and 25 watts respectively. Both feature an overdrive channel, headphone socket and AUX input. The 40 shares the same control panel of the 500 as well as its XLR line out. The Rumble 40 is a great choice for places of worship, school concert bands, and music rooms.

The Rumble 25 has a simple three band eq with contour control and is best suited for a practice room. Connecting headphones to any of the Rumble amps bypasses the speaker for silent practice.

Their light weight, great sound, well thought out control panel and attractive look make any Rumble Series Amp a perfect choice for your performance requirements.

Product Spotlight: Marshall Amplification


Jimi Hendrix. Ritchie Blackmore. Eric Clapton, Yngwie Malmsteen, Joe Satriani. Joe Bonamassa. Slash.

One name unites all these players and that name is Marshall Amplifiers, an iconic brand that sums up the sound of rock and roll. Founded in July 1962, drummer Jim Marshall opened his first music shop in Hanwell, London. After some development and a series of prototypes, Marshall and his team released 'Number One,' their first amp, in September of the same year. Twenty three orders were taken on the first day it was displayed in his shop window!

'Number One' spawned the development of a series of amps such as the JTM45, the Bluesbreaker made famous by Eric Clapton, the Super 100 - first 100 watt stack, the 1959 Super Lead heads - aka the 'Plexi's' of the late 1960's, through to the JCM 800 and 900 series, the highly collectible Silver Jubilees, the DSL's, their latest CODE modelling amps and the Vintage Reissue hand-wired JMP series.

Given this rich legacy and history, we are proud to showcase the latest development in Marshall's rich history of amplification: the JVM410H.

Marshall's JVM410H amplifier is the culmination of 54 years of research and development by the team at Marshall amps. British built, the JVM410H has the familiar look and feel of the landmark heads that define the sound of classic rock and roll, hard rock, and every genre of metal you can think of.

A 100 watt all tube head, the JVM410H comprises four independent channels: Clean, Crunch, OD1, OD2 each with their own set of eq controls and studio quality reverb. If that wasn't enough to tailor the tone to your liking, each channel has a selector switch offering three more variations to each channel's circuit, giving you a total twelve modes to shape and sculpt the sounds you hear in your head.

The JVM410 also has an effects loop that can be controlled by the six button foot switch. The foot switch makes channel switching a breeze. It can be programmed to store and recall your presets for each channel and control the reverb too. The engineers at Marshall have designed the foot switch to work with a regular guitar lead so no special cable is required.

No head is complete without a cabinet and the 1960BV straight speaker cabinet is the perfect companion. Comprising 4 x 12' Celestions, the G12 Vintage 30's provide a warm, focused mid range response and smooth top end. There is still plenty of chunk without excessive bass boom.  Furthermore, this 280 watt cabinet can be run in mono or split into stereo mode. Its rated at 16/4 ohms running in mono or 8 ohms in stereo mode.

As well as having the ability to connect to virtually any cabinet, the JVM410 has a balanced direct out with speaker emulation. This makes it perfect for connecting directly into your audio interface for silent recording sessions at home that capture the glorious full roar of a 100 watt Marshall without complaints from the neighbours or more importantly, your significant other.

The JVM410 lives up to its name as a Vintage Modern classic. A feature rich, tone laden amp, this is the Marshall you need. Covering every base from the vintage JTM/Plexi era through to the classic JCM800's and into the high octane modern metal and high gain era and beyond, the JVM410 defines Marshall to a tee.

Marshall.

Iconic. Innovative. Tone. Versatile. And loud.

Very loud.
