Typical bass cab, nothing majorly fancy, but the handles are an improvement from the old steel bars.

I run this cab with an Ampeg B2R head, which is a 200w (at 8 ohm) head, and I couldn't be more pleased with the tone it brings. Combine the head with my Custom Peavey Grind BXP (discontinued P/J style) and it's amazing. I can get just about any tone I try to, thanks to the head and the tweeter-attentuator. The only thing I don't like, is it can be "hissy" when the highs are up too much, but other than that, it's awesome.

I haven't had, nor do I expect, problems out of this cab. It's built well, and thanks to the casters, not a pain to carry. The casters go in and out fairly easily, so that's not a problem either. It's Fender, what do you expect other than a quality amp?

I'm going on my 4th year playing, and I'm still learning, but really finally coming into finding the equipment I truly like. I really didn't compare much, and there's nothing really to add on to a bass amp, but if it was stolen or broken, I'd buy an Avatar. Same price, better quality...you think I would've realized sooner...oh well, I think an Avatar should sound awesome as the bottom 410 in an 810 stack with this cab, so no major loss.

This is a 2002 Fender Bassman 410 Bass Cabinet with four ten inch speakers and a fully ajustable tweeter. it's rated at 300watts RMS, and 600watts peak. It has parallel inputs to link other cabs to it. It's impendance is 8 ohms. As far as Cabinets go, I feel it has just as many features as any other cab on the market.

I'm using a Fender Standard Jazz and a G-K 400RB-3 and this cab provides beefy lows and crisp highs. Has a really modern sound, which is enchanced by the all solid-state G-K. It can get pretty loud without distorting. As of this point i'm using it as a stand-alone cab.

So far no problems. Fender has a pretty well known as reliable amps. I would depond on it with no back-up, but i can't afford another cab anyways.

I've been playing for 3 years, so I got a pretty good idea of what is good gear. For it's price, I think it's great. If you got the money, go with Eden,SWR, or G-K, but the Fender isn't far behind. Better than peavey, anyway... If it was stolen, I'd buy another. Fairly heavy, I'd guess 80 Pounds. Just wish it had Casters. All in all, a great cab, and did you see the price i paid? A steal, in my opinnion. Definatly worth checking out.

This amp is big and heavey i think about 80 lbs. it has a metal grill, rather than a grill cloth, and 4 10 inch speakers, it also has 2 inputs on the back so u can link other cabinets together rather than link them from the head. and it also has a knob that lets u adjust the horn. very sturdy and strong

sounds great i play a gibson eb 3 bass, man this baby can growl, it has 2 humbuckers, so the amp really isnt noisy, maybe slightly but nothing noticeable. but man its awesome , i play through a vintage bassman head all tube which are the best for the music i play(classic rock influeneced)i own 2 of these speakers , so they look awesome stacked with the head, and le me tell ya, i play in a 3 man band, me the bass and vocals, and guitarist and drummer and le me tell ya, my loud drummer and fast fingered guitarist cannot cover up my bass.for best results play through a tube head (but if ur a jazzer or pop band then i would say a solid state head is more for you)now if ur a funk bassist i dunno about this amp, i think maybe an ampeg is better .but if u are a rocker, whether its rock, punk or blues, this cabinet is for you,( but remeber the head u use is very important.

man this thing is strong as a rock, u can set it on fire, piss on it, and throw it off mount everest and this amp would still work(please dont try it i am just exaggerating here, just sayin this warning for those of you with half a brain)but its strong and heavey, and with those metal grill its so awesome.

honestly this cab is da shit!! it is very powerful, i'am a guitar player turned bass player, i have been playin for 3 yrs., i am about to graduate high school and take my band to the road and le me tell ya this amp was built to last (thats fender quality for ya, u cant go wrong with fender)if it were lost i would be pissed and i would find the guy and stomp a mudhole in his ass, then i would get an axe and..........ok i am getting carried away but u know what i mean.i love it.the only thing i might hate is that it is so fuckin heavy and has no wheels on the bottom, but thas really it.i love its incredible durability and growling sound that can even withstand a loud guitarist and drummer with ease.this is everything in a cab i need really.the only amp that could top or tie this cab is maybe something by ampeg or swr but thats it nothing else, well and vox but thats it vox swr ampeg and fender are the best bass amps.rememeber the head u use is very crucial to how u want this cab to make ur bass sound. but beileve me this amp will satisfy and is worth every dime.
