So annoying, theres a bassman 50 head for £490 in Hampshire.
This is less of a fender amp suggestions thread than a lamenting the gear I can't buy thread.

Re: Fender amp suggestions
The FM100H is the same circuitboard as the 212r just in a head. My personal feeling is the gain channel isn't great but the clean channel is awesome into a 4x12 marshall.s_mcsleazy wrote: ↑Thu May 23, 2019 2:59 pmmy friend has a frontman 212r and i have it's little sister, the fender deluxe 90. i'll say one thing. if you want a clean pedal platform that can survive a lot. you cant go wrong with a 212r

Re: Fender amp suggestions
After following this Thread for a while maybe you should make the trip & check out that Concert Amp... It sounds more lime what you're looking for than most everything in this Thread....SadFuzz wrote: ↑Sun Apr 07, 2019 5:35 amI'm in the line for a new amp. I've been using a Fender champion 40 for 2 years and its not really working, doesn't sound good with my DS1, and it can get muddy and harsh.
So I'm looking for a new amp and I'm drawn to fenders.
I will be gigging it with a drummer and bassist, playing loud, ideally want it between 30-60 watts or so but I don't mind, with a 2x12, 2x10 or 4x10 config, heads are also fine.
I'm keeping my budget at £600.
Any other suggestions are also welcome.
Sidenote, saw a 4x10 80's Fender Concert which looks good, used, for £550 but its quite far away from me. Thoughts?

Re: Fender amp suggestions
same circuit as my deluxe 90 but looks cooler. i've seen them under £100 all day and their always a great buy at that price.

Re: Fender amp suggestions
+100 on the Bassbreakers. I'm using thr 45 watt head as a bass amp in a loud punk band. The smaller versions, if price allows would probably fit the bill. I lnow they all soind different but the few I tried always had great tones on tap....

Re: Fender amp suggestions
Fender Super-Sonic 2x12 60w or 100w The 22w may also be suitable or a head, but they are all universally good amps.
Plenty on reverb at the mo

What about 80's Pro Reverb? Even in Finland those aren't really over 600€.

Re: Fender amp suggestions
For newer Fender I like the Excelsior and the Pro Junior, though Pro Juniors are not very “Fendery” sounding and can also be noisy.

Only "bad" thing... it's loud as hell! I recently changed the V1 from an 12AX7 to an 12AY7 - so now I sometimes even can turn it up to 2 in the rehearsals!

Great amp! I think the 100W version has a Showman/Twin option alongside to the Tweed Bassman and generally more knobs (additional Gain and Mids in the Clean Channel and "Notch Tune" in the Burn - and both the 100 and the 22 come with REVERB what mine did not!)
