Fender Bassman 25 - Manual (Page 4)

Your new amplifier has its
roots in Fender’s family of pro-
fessional bass amps. Extra features spe-
cial to the
w e re designed for
teachers and students of music alike. Most
a p p a rent is the tilt-back design of the
cabinet. Angled like a stage
m o n i t o r, the tilt-back position makes listen-
ing direct and clear.
Dual INPUT jacks permit two bassists to plug
into the compact
while the L I N E
O U T jack makes it easy to re c o rd your ses-
sions. Plug a CD or tape player into the A U X-
I L I A RY INPUT RCA jacks and play along with
a re c o rding through your amplifier.
Other professional-quality features of the
include the M U T E s w i t c h
which cuts all outputs e x c e p t the T U N E R
output, making tune-ups quick and quiet.
For privacy, the headphone jack automati-
cally cuts speaker output. The E N H A N C E
switch modifies the mid-frequency contour
of your signal for a fatter sound while the
t h ree-band EQUALIZER o ffers fine tuning.
Bass guitars with active pre-amps are
accommodated with INPUT 2. Plug in exter-
nal effects devices to the EFFECTS jacks on
the Rear Panel of the
for unlim-
ited sonic options.
