Is there a decent, but inexpensive (notice I didn't say 'cheap') modelling amp that passable Fender Bassman tones? Anything by Line6, Fender...etc.?

Thanks

I was fooling around with the bassman model on mine today and thinking about how much I like it!

G-DEC 3 30 does a decent job as well.

Not quite as loud as the Mustang III, but less expensive.

My cube 100 bass amp models a bassman pretty good. and has chorus, reverb, etc. and a lot of other bass models and actually sounds pretty good with 1-12 speaker as a guitar amp, plenty of power.

The Bassman mode on my Roland Cube 80XL sounds good , for a model, not as good as the real thing, none of them are, but it's decent.

I LOVE, love my Fender G Dec 3-30(watts). And now they are being closed out, so you should be able to get a great deal.

SCXD. Dunno if the new X2 has a bassman voice or not.

Hey all, I just came across the forum when searching for Mustang III demos, I have a few to share....

Please subscribe to my YouTube account if you want to hear more Mustang III demos as I make them!

This is a fantastic small, lightweight SS amp that sounds 'tubeish' and doesn't break the bank @ $299 + tax. Oh and it's really loud! The Bassman model is great on this amp. For these demos I used some of the other classic models. I'll have to do the Bassman next...

I tried a Line 6 that had Tweed & Bassman (among others) settings and was surprised at how good it sounded. I forget the model.

I build my own tube amps & am an admitted tube snob. But there it was, pretty good tone, in a Line 6 no less.

At low to medium volumes. Turned up past 6, the difference was all too obvious.

Which Bassman? There are several, each with its own flavor

I'm a fan of Bruce Springsteen's '78 'Darkness on the Edge of Town'-era music, so the Bassman sound I'm after is like his pre-CBS Bassmans, circa 1958-1962.
