Fender Bassman 100T Chapter 3
- Thread starter Chef
- Start date
Since I got my rig 3 years or more ago, I have tried to find an excuse to buy another 410Neo because that might be the hottest looking rig out there, either stacked or side-by-side. But there's no reason to do it that I can see, especially after what I heard the thing do last Saturday. The one 410Neo has more than filled the stage on big gigs with FOH, even outdoors. And it more than handles medium sized venues with no FOH. But a stack would be so freaking cool looking.
The Bassman Pro cabs are darn fine cabs ain't they?
I used my 115 last night and AGAIN got more compliments on my tone than when I use any other cab.
It seems to "sit " really well in the band mix too.

From left to right, Fender 115 Neo with a Bassman 100T, Fender 410 Neo with a Super Bassman, Fender 610 Neo with an old Bassman 100.
Oh and to the far right a Trace Elliot 8x10 with an Ampeg Svt on top.
The 610 is the best! It works great with the Super Bassman, very easy to handle, very light cab but very big sound.
Works fantastic with the Bassman 100 and 100T as well.
These cabs make my others cabs obsolete.

Agreed. My 115 Bassman pro is possibly the best cab I've ever owned .... And I've owned many. .I sold my 2 Bergantino 12"s after I'd had the 115 for a while as it did what the 12"s do. ..But in a matching Fender package and in one cab. I used it on Tuesday night at a corporate gig and again had more compliments on my tone than almost any other time, and it just "sits" in the band mix perfectly.
Love it.
Love it.
These Bassmans make me sell my other amps as well. Since Namm 2012 where I heard these for the first time I knew right away this is the sound I was searching for, ordered a Bassman 100T and a 610 Neo and been very happy with them. A year ago I bought the Super Bassman with a 410 and 115, slightly used, and they're all great.
But don't mix the 410 and the 115!

All of the musicians I play with love the sound of these amps. All of the sound guys and recording engineers loved the DI as well, these are great!
Yeah. ..Well, I've never been pleased with a 410/115 stack myself. And I'm on the lookout for a Bassman 610 cab. .. That and the 115 Bassman might just be good for any gigs I'll have.
Hey guys I just noticed a volume difference when switching over to the modern channel with all volume and eq settings the same on both sides.
For example, I'll have the master at 5, volume at 4 on the vintage channel and have to bump up the modern volume knob to 7 to get the same output. Is this normal ?

That was my assumption, that the modern channel would be louder when switched over too but this not happening. I do not mind keeping the volume louder on the second channel to keep output levels equal but I am a bit dissaponted. This does not happen in my 300 pro.
Where is your blend set? I would guess you have a bad V2 12ax7 pre amp tube.
See page 10 in your manual.
Have to agree with consensus that my O.D. channel is louder than vintage channel. Hdracer, thanks for sound advice (and reminder) for all of us about the preamp tube. Appreciated. Marc

You are the man bro! Swapped out a good pre amp tube from the 300 pro for the questionable 100t modern channel pre amp tube and the volume is way up.
I had not considered a bad tube since the amp has less than 5 hours of play time but the tube was indeed bad. A $20 tube is a small price to pay for piece of mine. Thank you!
