I shopped long and hard to find the best sounding 2 x 10 combo amp I could afford, and settled on the pro 400. I still was not completly satisified with the lowest notes of my 5 string at the loudest settings. For more than twenty years I have played three or four nights a week in a blues band that needs bass sounds ranging from a fifties Chicago growl to a very modern, almost hip-hop Southern Soul tone. After a few months of consulting, computer modeling and experimenting, Brownell sound in Portland OR hooked me up with a pair of B & C neodymium speakers. Everything I liked about this amp with the stock Emminence speakers is better with the replacements, and I can play it on 10 all night. The unit lost about eight pounds in the process, something that helps my old back. With a 4 x 10 extension, it is louder than an SVT with a deeper, but still clear bottom end, and no distortion unless I want to dial it in. All the notes from low B to the very highest have the same character and definition. This rig to my ears sounds better than anything sold by Ampeg, Eden, G & K, Aguilar, Hartke, SWR, Trace Elliot, Ashdown, Peavey, Carvin or any thing else in this price range. The only bass gear I've heard that sounds superior is the Thunderfunk/Accugroove outfits that cost three times more. I think if Fender made these B & C speakers available as an option, they would take away a lot of business from their competitors.
