I've always been a fan of Fender tube amps. I've even built a couple myself for use with guitar, and so when these popped up a year ago I was intrigued but skeptical.
Lately though, I've been attempting to downsize my gear collection in anticipation of a new baby and so I sold off my beloved Aguilar stack with the idea that I'd buy a small combo instead while I'm taking a break from gigging. I wanted something with tubes, but I also wanted something smaller, so after plenty of TB hours logged, and lots of internet searching I ended up replacing it with a Fender Bassman TV 12. All I can say is that I haven't been able to stop playing this thing since it arrived in the big brown truck last week. Holy sweet hot tone!
This thing nails the warm old-school tone that I love, in the perfect size package for my current needs.
Thank you Fender for doing your homework on this one.
