For sale is my never gigged or left the house Fender Bassman 250/210 combo.
Used only for occasional home practice and is in immaculate 10/10 condition and sounds great and is very versatile with a fab mid range.
Comes with original owners manual/power lead/Fender stickers.
This is what Fender have to say......
Fender Sound, Solid-state Power, Light Weight!
The Fender Bassman 250/210 is an elegant piece of bass amplification designed to deliver full power through a compression driver horn and two great sounding 10" drivers. Designed to be portable, yet loud enough for gigging, the Bassman 250/210 has a high-quality XLR output, great for recording or amplifying a live signal. The full horn attenuator allows you to achieve a range of tones from bright thumb-style playing (full horn) to warm upright bass tones (horn off) and anything in between!
Fender Bassman 250/210 Combo Amplifier at a Glance:
A great combination of power, speaker and tone shaping in a compact amp!
Built-in compressor plus 4-band EQ and "Contour" controls
Pad, line out and other features for pro use
Ruggedly built for action
A great combination of power, speaker and tone shaping in a compact amp!
Don't let the Bassman 250/210's light weight, only 28.5 Kg fool you! This is a powerful bass amp, with 250 watts of solid-state power. The two 10" Fender Special Design Eminence USA PRO speakers deliver tons of tone. Plus, the Bassman 250/210 features a compression driver high frequency horn with its own attenuator to capture thumb-style playing!
Built-in compressor plus 4-band EQ and "Contour" controls
The Bassman 250/210 amp gives you plenty of tone-shaping power. The built-in compressor has a fixed threshold and adjustable ratio to provide a solid signal without overloads. The special "Contour" control is a variable scoop applied to the MID section for slap-style playing. In addition, you've got 4-band EQ control: Bass, Low and High Semi-Parametric Midrange (Freq/Level), and Treble.
Pad, line out and other features for pro use
Recording with the Bassman 250/210 is easy with the included XLR balanced line out. It features an independent level control, a pre/post switch and a ground lift. The Bassman 250/210's 6dB input pad handles high-output basses. You can control the high frequency horn with its 3-position attenuator switch (Full, -6dB, Off). A mute switch keeps your amp ready, while the built-in effects loop lets you connect your favorite pedals. Plus, the Bassman 250/210 includes a tuner output for silent tuning and a headphone jack that automatically cuts the speaker signal.
Ruggedly built for action
Your Bassman 250/210 will hold up for the long run, with a real wood cabinet! The black carpet covering, black metal grille and brushed aluminum control panel will look great for years. The Bassman's removable casters make it easy to roll into the club, while its spring-loaded handles provide smooth carrying. And at only 39 lb. the Bassman 250/210 will make your bandmates like you better!
So add it all up: great Fender sound, flexible tone shaping, pro features, and sturdy design, and you'll realize that the Bassman 250/210 is the ideal choice for steady gigging or weekend use!
Fender Bassman 250/210 Amplifier Features:
250-watt solid-state amplifier
Two 10" Fender Special Design Eminence speakers
High-frequency horn with attenuator
Compression, EQ and Contour controls
-6dB input pad (for high output basses)
XLR line out jack for recording or PA feed
RCA auxiliary input jacks for playing along with tape or CD
Mute switch, tuner output, effects loop
Headphone jack (automatically cuts signal to speaker for privacy)
Plywood cabinet (no particle board)
Heavy duty spring loaded handles and removable casters
The Bassman 250/210 combines power, sound, and portability!
I don't really want to courier this combo but would prefer collection or meet up within a reasonable distance.
Any trial welcome, free tea/coffee/biscuits and cheesy jokes included in the price!

So next up on the list of eye wateringly expensive purchases is a cab. Previously I was considering the Barefaced four10 or six10 but I've see a few folks pairing the WB-100 and other similar all valve heads with the Super Twin or Big Baby 2 cabs, anyone here had any experience with them?
I loved my two10 (only ever used it with a GK fusion S) and the singer in the band has a Super Twin which I'm gonna try to get around to trying but just curious to hear thoughts. I'd be pretty tempted by getting 2 Super Compacts/Big Baby cabs so I could use one at home and both for gigs.

These just look the business, they would look seriously purposeful on stage. Design influences of 50s /60s Sci Fi.
They would look purposeful either side of my 24" black and white Television!

It is indeed a great speaker hence wanting to keep it, if found a matching one i could make some nice hifi cabs.
you should of kept the one with the horn, a pair of them in a studio would be awsome, tannoys golds with UUMMMPH !
Altec,s hifi speakers could move buildings, literally ! as these were the sound of theatre, see last pic,
some really great info here...
https://audioxpress.com/article/altec-lansing-s-voice-of-the-theatre-speakers-what-you-need-to-know
they made some truly monstrous fantastic looking speakers 18" hi fi !! yea... id love a pair, but you just dont come across them very often over here, and quite expensive.
ooops.... i think i have just duffed down me leg 🙂
A beautiful pair of book shelf speakers....

A top piece of kit..I've had one in my rack since the mid 90's.

Just a thought....a D class amp and a Super compact wouldn't probably weigh as much as the volume knob......

A French polisher could sort this out for not much money and a quick tune up and someone's got themselves a nice piano.

This was my first proper long scale bass back in the very early 70's....my Mother killed it by leaning it up against a radiator....had a neck like a long bow after that and totally unusable! This one looks in lovely condition though..

Eq flat all the way, when I used the amp at gigs and rehearsals..
It's inherent tone is pretty much spot on, no matter what bass I used it with.
I generally preferred to have the drive switch in all the time as I like the extra colouration it gives to the sound.
I don't use the drive switch but I'm going to experiment with it. Thanks.

Yeah, never touch it.
It basically reduces the mids the more the contour control is wound on.
