A. INPUT - Plug your bass in here.
B. –6dB - Reduces input sensitivity to allow cleaner
response with high-output bass guitars:
NORMAL—Full input sensitivity.
–6dB—Lower input sensitivity.
C. MUTE - Disables all amplifier outputs except for
TUNER OUT {S}. • The LED flashes when MUTE is
active.
D. VOLUME - Adjusts the loudness of the amplifier.
CLIP—Indicates amplifier clipping.
•
VOLUME level if you hear distortion when this
LED is on.
E. CONTOUR - This feature is for scooping out the
mid-range signal, a sound typically desired for thumb
style playing to achieve a modern "hi-fi" type bass
tone. Turning this knob clock-wise increases the cut
of the mid range, increasing the scooped sound.
F. BASS - Adjusts low-frequency tone character.
G. SEMI-PARAMETRIC EQ - Having more control over
the mid-range frequencies is very important in
defining your bass tone. This is why your Bassman
comes equipped with semi-parametric control (1
band on the Bassman
Bassman ® 150 & 250). The Frequency knob is there
to determine WHERE you would like to adjust the
sound. Level is there to determine whether you
would like that particular frequency to be boosted or
cut (+/-15 dB). Adding upper mids (and favoring the
bridge pickup on your instrument) creates a biting
tone that is great for Jazz Fusion type melodic lines.

Cutting mids allows for separation between the lows
and highs, resulting in a tone well suited for slap-
style funk.
H. TREBLE - Adjusts high-frequency tone character.
I. PRE/POST - Supplies the LINE OUT {L} jack with the
signal either before or after it is processed by the
amplifier's equalization circuits.
PRE—EQ bypassed
J. LINE LEVEL - Adjusts the output level of the LINE
OUT jack {L}.
K. GROUND LIFT - Disconnects the LINE OUT {L}
ground connection (pin-1) which may reduce hum
noise in some situations.
GROUNDED (normal)
L. LINE OUT - This jack allows you to send signal from
the preamp section out to an external source (such
as a house mixing console or a recording device).
The on board "level" control allows for adjustment of
signal strength. Use the "Pre/Post" control to select
if you would prefer the bass signal to be affected by
the EQ changes you make (post) or before the EQ, to
®
give an unaffected signal (pre). The "Ground Lift" is
there to eliminate buzz resulting from connection to
improperly grounded equipment.
M. POWER - Switches the amplifier on-off. Illuminates
when the unit is powered on.
