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!

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!

These are fantastic combos, designed by the SWR Guys after Fender acquired the SWR company. Well designed, based around the Super Red Head IIRC, rugged, reliable with huge H×ft.

A great, new/old stock, vintage combo at a very reasonable price.

GLWTS.

I nabbed the 110 version about 10 yrs ago… never let me down, sounds great and as said basically an SWR in the same way the new rumble series are basically Genz Benz amp. I’d imagine many gigs could be well serviced with this as a stage monitor.

What a great piece of kit and only about half an hour away.  Sadly, I'm amped to the gills at the moment, but GLWTS.  Someone's going to be very happy!
