Fender Pro 800 - Has anyone tried these??

[twaine]

These amps have heaps of power, on paper. Has anyone out there in bass land tried one? Would it be suitable for a rocking, punky, loud 3-piece?

it can get very loud and can get you a great tone if you learn how to find it's sweet spots.

I find it to respond better to a 2ohm load for some reason but it will run hotter...

Thanks - theres a seconh hand one for sale and I'm in the market for a beefy amp

it's beefy alright! make sure your cabs can handle it

as with most of the fender bass stuff I think it is underrated by most people due to previous misconceptions of the brand.
