Anyone here use Fender Pro cabs? I see lots of good things said about the 300 Bassman tube amps, but I can't find anything on this line of cabinets. I was hoping some users would share their thoughts. Thanks!

Fender Pro cabs

I've never had the chance to use 'em. Only thing I can say is this....
I saw JET play at a local club- about 500ppl sized room- Jets bassist was using a Fender PRO 800-2 IIRC. & had 2x 8x10 Fender PRO cabs. Bass sounded AWESOME out front of house! I went right up to stage-in front of the 2 810 cabs-to see if I could hear his 'onstage' sound. Standing right there-about 8' from the twin 810 Fender pro cabs- the bass sounded even better than it did from the F.O.H. PA system!!!
He was using a Precision, & it sounded great!
So-precision direct into 2 Fender 800PRO amps into 2 Fender PRO 810's = Fantastic sound IMO.
Thats the ONLY experience I can say I've had 1st hand with the PRO series cabs.... Oh whoops--- I used to have the Fender 210PRO 2 x 10" cab- nice li'l 2x10 cab it was too. Only sold it due to me getting a GS112 for my EUB. & also a NV610 - so I didn't need a 2x10 any more. Nice sounding cab it was tho. Deep & rich sounding!
Sorry I 4got about that- haven't had it for nearly 12 months & just 4got totally!

I'll hopefully be able to give you a review on a 410 pro next week. I have it right now sitting here beside me but my amp hasn't came in yet. All I can do right now is look at it and pretend its making noise!
I had the chance to demo the 800pro, 810 & 410 cabs and I was very impressed with them all, there only downfall that I can see is that they have a very poor resale value due to the lack of interest in the Bass Amplification world.
And I would like too see them stick a tube in the 800pro preamp section

I have the 115 Pro and like it alot. Plenty of 15" goodness. I was thinking to get a 210 Pro to go with it but I like the 115 so much I might just get another just like it.
Finally got my amp! The 410 pro sounds great. It reminds me of PA speakers but noticably deeper. It's a little quieter than some of its competition, but it's definately a good cab.
Did U just get a Fender 300PRO Bassman to go with the 410 Hollow BAssman??? What do U think? Beast?
My only complaint would be carpet covered. After buying my Eden 410XLT, I swore I would never buy another carpet covered amp again. My next cab will be a Mesa 2x15.
