Congrats on the purchase Lisa. That's a really great price. I got my Bxr300c for $380 about a year ago and it had seem some action. So you got a real steal.

I found alot of people don't like the Bxr series but mostly, it seems, the smaller wattage size. I've tried the Bassman series and for the money and the wattage I wouldn't trade. Quite honestly, except for the weight, I'm really happy with the amp. I think it's a great amp for practice and probably most small/med venues you would encounter.

I'm also considering a 2x10 or 4x10 extension cab. So let us know how it sounds when you get it.

Thanks! I'm really happy with the purchase. The guy never gigged with it, and I doubt he ever had it turned up more than 3....heck, at 3, it rattles the windows in my studio!

I'll probably not get another Cab for it any time soon, since I don't play out right now, but I'll definitely let you know when I do.

I actually just started using one of these in a gig I'm doing (belongs to the other bass player I share the chores with).

Not a bad-sounding combo -- but I agree with the assessment on adding a cab with 10s. It would really open up the sound.

Anybody know what the output of this thing is as configured (just the 15)? I'm guessing around 200 watts.

That's the figure I came up with, but I don't remember where I got it.
