The more tubey TB 600 -
Ooof indeed! There’s another one being listed too…

**Shipping is not included** but I'm sure we can split the shipping to sweeten the deal My other amp… This was another jewel in the crown of Fender’s return to making decent bass amps. This one is based on the Fender Tube Bass preamp the TBP-1 paired to the same great power section found in the MB-1200 power amp and the 800Pro. This amp is ideal for the more roots/country/blues/rock tones. The pre amp is the classic Fender tube sound - a passive tone stack of BMT with passive mid cut only and bass and treble boost only. From memory it’s set at 40HZ-400Hz-4kHz with and additional semi-para eq with boost or cut. If you play a P bass this is the amp to play through. Classic Fender bass tones through and through. The amp also features a blendable drive section with gain and volume controls and a blend between the classic and drive channels. It can be set to get all manner of classic drive tones from low gain, edgy pick sound to full on grind. The semi-para EQ really allows you to set your bass in the mix or push the sound ro be upfront and heard. I used this amp in my country band and it was perfect - big classic passive tones which supported the band and never missed a beat. It has equally been at home on theatre gigs and can do a mean rock tone with some nice responsive break up when digging in. There’s a 4 button footswitch included which can engage the drive, the semi- para eq, the fx loop (which doubles as a boost) and has a tuner! There is also a room balance control which is a tilt style eq to fine tune the amp to the room - without a rework of the whole eq. Along with the 800Pro these were top of the line pro touring heads! Features Hybrid head: (tube preamp, solid state power amp) 1 channel with switchable drive and semi-parametric eq Tubes: 2 X 12AX7 Front panel controls: Vintage Tube Tone - Input -9dB pad switch, Mute, Volume, Bass w/Deep switch (pull to activate), Mid, Treble w/Bright switch (pull to activate) Tube Overdrive: (Enable/Disable Switch), Gain, and Volume Blend Vari-Q: (Enable/Disable Switch), Frequency, Level/Q, Room Balance, and Master Volume Rear panel controls: Balanced Line Output with Ground Lift, XLR Jack, Level, Pre/Post EQ Select Switch, FX Loop with Trim, +4dBu/-10dBv level switch, Send/Return jacks Effects: Fender passive tone stack, Tube Overdrive section, Vari-Q section, Room Balance, FX Loop/Boost

It’s a clean slap machine. Seriously good amp which will do the gospel thing, funk, down tuned metal. It takes pedals like a boss!

**Shipping is not included** but I'm sure we can split the shipping to sweeten the deal Killer clean bass head with super flexible eq. This amp is an old school power house and can deliver 800w@4ohm or 1200w @2ohm This head is very similar to the Thunderfunk and can be run with the eq disengaged. I’ve been using it this way with my HXStomp and it pairs beautifully. The semi parametric eq is great and can yield some great tones. My current favourite is setting the treble at 3kHz then dialling the boost/cut right back. It seems to add a bump in upper mids - right in the sweet spot with just the nicest amount of top end! I’m having a gear cull so basically listing most things and I’ll hang onto the bits which are last to go. The 'fixed' bass and Treble are 50Hz and 10kHz and the semi-para has plenty of crossver for each of the three bands. I have been uing this head to really beef up the 112 I have for sale too - I can really dial in the perfect EQ for the cab, shaving off the sub lows on the semi-para and getting a good solid lows and mids. I’ve previously used the Fender MB1200 power amp which is the same power section in this head and it convinced me to seek out my two Fender head’s which both employ this same power section (the other head had the 600w version). You can debate class A/B or Class D but I can assure you this head wallops! I don’t think I’ve ever had the master over 11 o’clock on the dial! Bass Gallery currently have one for sale for £525.00. These amps were the top of the line pro touring heads. KEY FEATURES 800W at 4 ohms ; 1,200W at 2 ohms Speakon and 1/4" connectors Legible anodized silver faceplate Heavy-duty chrome handles 5-band EQ with 3-band semi-parametric EQ with on/off and gain control Room Balance control basically a Tilt EQ +-10dB crossover freq: 350Hz Enhance switch emphasizes highs and lows Variable compressor Balanced XLR output with pre/post EQ switch Ground lift and level control for line out Mute switch Tuner output Effects loop SPECIFICATIONS 800 PRO Bass Head 19"W x 3-1/2"H x 16"D Approx 14kg

Yeah that makes good sense. The stomp really does have some good flexibility. I did have a cab sim on a parallel path too so if I wanted to darken the sound I could just switch it in. Worked well.

You could add it in via the fx loop and then drop it in anywhere along the signal chain. I’ve been tweaking my board as I wanted to add a boost and toyed with the fx loop but settles on having it after the Stomp but before my amp but I’m quite likely using it in a different manner to how you wish to integrate the preamp. If you do try it via the fx loop remember to save the patch with the fx loop switch engaged so it’s always on when you switch to that patch!

Nate with another great demo and solid information too. Well explained section about the HPF. EQ points look decent - love a treble control that is in and about 2-4kHz

Bump -
Pre Hallowe'en bump. Looking forward to gigging this cab tonight! -
Compensate at the desk. Job done no?

If my Cali76TX sells I’d happily have this on my board to replace it however it’s one out one in. -
The dark side has called…

Buttercream or orange.

Thanks Rich 🙂 Yeah It's a wonderful wee unit and it stands on it's own as a very capable sounding cab. I might be taking it to my gig on Friday just to get it out even though there is a sub in the place and we'll likely be using IEM. I've rejigged my pedal board slightly so it'll be good to hear what it sounds like in a familiar room/on stage.

Sold It’s a compact, sturdy cab which has seen moderate use and comes with a fitted db Bass cover. If I could find another one of these used I might just keep it and sell my 212 but for now it’s up for grabs. I just prefer two of a specific cab over a single- in this case it’s 2x12’s over a 112 if stage size isn't an issue. However I do think that two of these cabs as a modular set up would be killer! Ideally I’d like to meet up and do a cash deal and I’m happy to drive a couple of hours any direction from Edinburgh. Most of my gigs are iem these days so two cabs isn’t really necessary as the other main venues we do which aren’t iem have back line provided. Spec's below along with links to a review and the db website. Please note the cab with the white internal baffle is only to show the speaker and port - it is not my cab and is simply for illustrative purposes. Specifications Impedance:8 Ohms Speaker: 1 x 12” FaitalPRO Bass Port: Front Tweeter: Piezo with attenuatorPower: 600 Inputs: 2 x Neutrik Speakon (parallel) Sensitivity: (1W/1m) 97 dB Frequency Range: 45 - 30,000 Hz Height: 45 cm - 17.72” Width: 37 cm - 14.57” Depth: 45 cm - 17.72” Weight: 17 kg - 37.48 lbs Thankfully my cab has the black internal baffle rather than the white!

Like the DemonFX thread!

Compressor and Limiter C-a-Li? probably makes more sense
-
California based company developed the 1176 maybe?
