Fender Bassman 300

[Petender]

I need some feedback. I have a fender bassman 300 tube amp and i am running a AMpeg 15 and a Ampeg 410. What cabs are best for this head?

As long as the ohms aren't mismatched it's all subjective to your ear and the instrument you are playing. Sets of 10's and 15's are common for a reason, they work.

What kind of music/sound are you going for? If its rock oriented i'd say hit up the Berg 610

powerful cabs like ampeg 8x10,mesa powerhouse 1000,aguilar 4x12

Your current load (SVT 15 = 8 ohms) & (SVT 410 = 4 ohms) is 2.6 ohms. The Bassman 300 Pro will run at 8, 4 or 2 ohms. The 2 ohm setting should be fine. You could add another SVT 15 & be at 2 ohms.

I've run a SVT 610 & 2 SVT 15's with one & it puts out enough sound to knock seagulls out of the sky.

Of course if you have the space & muscles an SVT 810 would be nice as well.

My friend has one on a Mesa 6x10 and it sounds thick and godly.

I have a Fender 300T Pro, bought it new last summer...Love IT!!!!!

I just switched over from a F-Bassman 410 at 8ohms paired with a F-Bassman 115 at 8ohms to equal the 4ohms; I now run it through an Avatar 410 at 4ohms...WOW! What a difference in sound. I get all the voices from my 300 head now. I am a strong believer and turned plenty of musicians heads last night playing through the Avatar for the first time at a gig.

Don't waste money, what ever combination you are looking for, get an Avatar.

I used to play my Bassman 300 thru an Ampeg 1X15 and 4X10.
It was a bit of a chore to lift that head up on top of the 2...sounded great though.
I now play it thru an SVT 410 HLF and it freakin' kills...plus I no longer have to hoist it as high
I can only imagine what it would sound like with 2 of those cabs

If he has an SVT 410HE, it's an 8 ohm cab

If you like the way the SVT 410HE + SVT 15E sounds, then its a good combination. I find this setup to have more low end than two SVT 410HE cabs and more definition than two SVT 15E cabs. I currently use my Bassman 300 with an SVT 12HE + SVT 15E. It's a more compact setup that still produces a ton of punch, lows & volume.

I'd love to run a pair of Dr. Bass 1580s on one of those. Hurr!
