    All-terrain amp

    Fender BXR 300Published on 12/08/14 at 01:55
    It's the amp of my bassist (who doesn't have an Audiofanzine account).

    The amp is used both for rehearsals and gigs, it's relentless and has a killer sound.

    It's been with us since 1995, it has never left us stranded, very round and warm sound (he uses it with a 1976 Fender Precision bass or a down-market acoustic one).

    The amp's only downside is that it doesn't have a line output, but considering what it provides, it can be forgiven...

    A good and sturdy (but heavy ^^) amp

    Fender BXR 300Published on 12/06/13 at 14:58
    BXR300c

    Solid-state amp made in USA
    15-inch speaker, 300W rms into 4 ohms
    Two inputs (for active or passive basses)
    One compressor
    Bass and High "enhance" (= boost)
    EQ 1 bass, 1 mid and 1 frequency control, 1 treble
    1 effects loop output and 1 input

    As far as I'm concerned, and regarding this amp, I don't need anything more.

    PS: I'm not sure about how much I paid for it ($350) ... It was a long time ago :p

    USE

    It couldn't be easier to dial in.
    You can find your sound very easily.

    SOUND

    It's not the best for slap (it lacks a 4x10).
    For blues / rock / metal / reggae, etc finger / pick... it's simply perfect

    I've had it for...24 years! Ouch, time flies.
    It has aged without a single cough, I have even used it to amplify an electric double bass, it's awesome.


    In short, a good old FENDER (solid-state, but a good amp all the same), it sounds deep (awesome fullness!) round and warm with my Jazzbass Fender (what a sound

    Powerful and well-manufactured combo

    Fender BXR 300Published on 02/15/12 at 13:39
    300-watt amp made in USA (it might seem stupid, but in the times we're living, I think it's interesting to point out). One good big 15" speaker, a control for the highs, one for the mids, one for the mid frequency, one for the bass and that's it, start making some music!
    It features two inputs, a passive and an active one, and you can plug in you effects loops directly to it, which can be interesting if you have an EQ or a preamp.


    USE

    It' very easy to use, since it only has 4 controls plus a volume knob.
    It produces good lows and, I have never been disappointed playing it with my JazzBass. It's obviously not an all-tube ampeg, granted, but being a solid-state amp, it has no…

    USE

    It produces good lows and, I have never been disappointed playing it with my JazzBass. It's obviously not an all-tube ampeg, granted, but being a solid-state amp, it has nothing to envy the new generation for.
    And it's rugged!


    SOUND

    I use it with a Jazz Bass standard and, to be honest, it delivers in the low end. It doesn't have the most precise sound, it can be a bit muddled if you crank the volume up, but it responds very well when finger or pick playing, and even with slap (even if I don't master this technique). I play mostly rock!


    OVERALL OPINION

    It's been almost 10 years since I've been using it, I have used it for rehearsals and even some gigs in small venues or bars and it has never failed me. Good manufacturing quality, I think I could play ten more years without the sound being affected at all.
    So, if you are used to playing hybrid amps of the likes of Hartke and Ashdown, we are not talking about the same category, but it's certainly more than enough for rehearsals and to play small venues!
    It shouldn't be too expensive secondhand nowadays. So if you are looking for a powerful and quality amp, it's worth giving it a try!

    Transistors 300 Watts into 4 Ohms
    2 inputs, effects loop, 3 band + paramtrables Mid and Treble and Bass Boost

    UTILIZATION

    Configuration very simple, a lot of sounds available thank you to two trs Boost efficiency especially Grave! The Medium is the paramtrage trs end, passing a little time we get to get really very fine nuances.

    The compressor? Mine is not working or rather it serves as protection for pregnant, bustling rduire for a little power when it really buggers too.

    I would put 9 because the compressor but otherwise nothing to say, simply and efficiently.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 2 years, I only have the head as I plug in a subwoofer peavey HP Eminence team of 2 * 15 inches. The sound is monstrous (can be a bit too) By pushing the amp a bit I fear for my windows, this amp ton power, absolutely phnomnale, my poor neighbors, I pity them!

    There are two types: Combo (BXR300) or 2 body (BRX300H). Note that the head is identical in both cases.

    A small compressor bad.

    The bad point justifying "only" 7 / 10: The weight! Amp trs heavy (in the 60 kgs) so I cut in two: The speaker and his wheels of a ct and the head (which I rack) of the another. I also put casters + beefy and with the brakes, and adding two grips. Without a, I could never put it in my chest alone ... (and then with 15d of kin between the concerts ...)
    Otherwise, another dtail: AMP indestructible. Mine comes from a room rptition the Paris region o ad to see the green and not ripe ... One day I dropped the head flat on my tile ... Well I never had any pb with ... and yet it is not very young! So heavy but sturdy.
    I read somewhere on the Net is the story of a BXR300 who had spent several days under water after a flood. Aprsschage he was back in service!

    UTILIZATION

    Simple yes, everything you need and nothing superfluous. (Except the compressor without rglage, the only to save the HP ...)
    For good sound, yes. I do not have an exprience of 50 amps derrire me (the second a small APRS Trace Eliott 60W), but I soon had something that sounded.
    However, do not use hsiter rglages quite extreme and use the two filters treble and bass. In fact, leaving any "flat", there was not much terrible at first.
    The fault in HP mid-range ... not the height of the head for me.
    Indeed, when I use the head with only one or two 4x10 cabinets Ampeg home, makes a much better sound!
    Manuel clear, Electronic Schematic provided.

    SOUNDS

    Having a little trouble with rglages extreme, I finally they add a legalization of Boss pedals GEB7. So I go directly between the "power amp in", and sounds ...
    However, it is a fair bit on the snes in the open if we do not just derrire the amp itself.
    We gain much in power with two speakers, it comes out the the 300W into 4 ohms

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for a beginners 2005.
    The advantage: The sound, solid.
    Its less: The weight, look awful (I've reworked for a lot too!)
    No, I have not tried 36 MODELS until you have, but I'm a hard spare. Those who had sold me to replace purchased a Peavey 3 bodies, and they said they would push for much lower and its BXR300 with the ...
    If c'tait again: Yes, hsiter, given the price that I got it! Currently he serves me amp RPET, a not worth my Ampeg, but it still performs its function without any failure.
