Members jasper383 Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 I played the 112 recently for about five minutes. It sounded really good. Full, round, and the eq is very easy to grasp. One thing I didn't check was to see if you can add a cab; that would be important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rob Martinez Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 I bought the TV Ten and really like it. Nice warm and punchy tone, looks cool and it gets LOUD. It is the smallest of the bunch and all I will need. Yesterday I saw the TV Twelve and the TV Fifteen, the latter is HUGE! Both look cool. Not sure about an external cab, I think not. These things are configured to put out the full 150 watts or 350 watts at 4 ohms through the combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mynameis Posted December 17, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 they "look" the goods - love that retro look... it's a shame about no external cab though... have to go out & find one in a shop to try out I have a peavey classic 30 guitar amp that looks very similar, has the tweed covering, and similar stainless face, chicken head knobs & "on" light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mortatort Posted December 18, 2009 Members Share Posted December 18, 2009 Peavey? Please. Are you asking him for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mynameis Posted December 18, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 18, 2009 I know it's a peavey, but they do look similar - don't they?? just imagine the big "peavey" badge removed. from the looks of the fender website, the pot knobs are virtually the same as my peavey too and the classic 30 is ok - I play it with either a 66 re-issue jaguar or a 79 strat & they both rock out on it - it's quite loud & rich sounding for a small sized combo) anyway, the fender has a solid state power section, and peavey is all valve... but I've been looking for a nice sounding, small bass combo, & these new fenders "look" good - haven't heard one yet though... but love the style...

He was just giving you a hard time because well, hes Rob Martinez. I love those Peavey Classics and agree they do look similar. But as Dan says, you can do better for the money. I'd look at the Ampeg B-200r second hand. Great aesthetics, good tone, build quality (the American made ones) and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members matou Posted December 18, 2009 Members Share Posted December 18, 2009 900.00 + bucks for a 150 watt hybrid amp in a retro package? For that kind of bread, you can get a real Bassman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members willsellout Posted December 18, 2009 Members Share Posted December 18, 2009 Probably two! No {censored}! This is why I found this so {censored}ing hillarious that anyone would buy one.

Members mynameis Posted December 18, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 18, 2009 wow, hadn't looked at the prices until reading this - that's nutty!! the 210 version is AU $1800 (that's Australian $$)they still look cool though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great aesthetics, good tone, build quality (the American made ones) and such. I sure am! Also because the Fender TV Ten is a great amp that I would not trade for a Peavey. But that's just me. Also, to my ears, these amps sound different from the run of the mill Fender bass combos. I've tried those, and never liked them. I like these. But they won't be for everyone. If you're not into great sounding and looking easy to use bass combos, you won't want a Fender TV Series. FTR, that Peavey does look cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
