Fender TB-1200

TB-1200 description:

The Fender TB-1200 Tube Bass Amp Head provides professional bass amp solutions for players who are looking for a thick, natural and balanced tone that sits fat in their live or studio mix.

The key to the Fender TB-1200 's creamy tone is a passive tone stack, the back bone of classic Fender guitar and bass amps. A passive tone stack (remember - passive means CUT ONLY) has an interactive nature, with each knob affecting the others, resulting in big warm notes that represent the natural sound of the bass being played.

The Fender TB-1200 head delivers 1200 watts at 2 Ohms, ideal for running multiple cabinets while staying cool. Overdrive, Vari-Q, FX Loop and Mute are all accessible via the TBFS-4, 4-button footswitch.
