Members randy rhoads jr Posted November 10, 2007 Members Share Posted November 10, 2007 Hey guys, I just wondering how is the Fender BXR line of amps? More specifically, the 200 watt version with the 1x15". I may be picking one of them up this weekend for a pretty good price, so any comments, advice, experiences or pictures would be awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members der oxenrig Posted November 10, 2007 Members Share Posted November 10, 2007 They're ridiculously heavy with decent tone. Nothing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members randy rhoads jr Posted November 10, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 10, 2007 Ok thanks for the response, BUMP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Apendecto Posted November 10, 2007 Members Share Posted November 10, 2007 I've been using one for years as a back up combo. The tone is alright but there are a ton of EQ options. If you can get it on the cheap, you can't go wrong. The chorus on it is a nice feature but I hardly use chorus. It is heavy but it works great. What's the price on it? Yo.

Members dwalmz Posted November 10, 2007 Members Share Posted November 10, 2007 Nice combo amp. I gigged with one for a few years. Pretty loud for only 200w! That thing can boom! Definitely heavy (almost as heavy as the old Peavey combos) but smaller profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price is $350 o.b.o Canadian. It's got casters too. The chorus might be a good feature for me, since ive been wanting a chorus pedal anyways!

Members D Aussie Posted November 12, 2007 Members Share Posted November 12, 2007 BXR amps are loud, tough, dependable and sterile.If you can get ahold of a preamp of some kind to run before it, you will be thrilled.The speakers in the BXR series were the downfall.. really cruddy celestions that just sounded a bit farty.I used a BXR300 for years very happily and wish i still had it:thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dwalmz Posted November 12, 2007 Members Share Posted November 12, 2007 Hell, just change out the speaker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sordid1 Posted November 12, 2007 Members Share Posted November 12, 2007 my bassist has used a bxr300 1x15 combo for the last two years until he got his new rig last week. It was a decent sounding rig and I think if you added a 2x10 or 4x10 it would sound pretty good but just having a single 15 makes for not a lot of clarity. Overall good amp for the money for sure and as noted these things weigh a ton! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
