Description

Edit description

This is simply called the Fender Bassman 1200 - There is no "pro" at the end. You can look at the Owner's manual for confirmation. There is a 300 pro, and an 800 pro, but the 1200 is just a 1200. :)

Used as main amp through 2004 - 2011.

In an interview with Bass Guitar magazine, in late 2004, Mike said: "...I went to Fender HQ in Arizona and they told me, 'You should try these amps.' And I said (lacking enthusiasm), 'Yeah, well...' because I'm at the stage now where I can pretty much afford whatever amp I want to play, right? And I tried them out. It was smokin'! Me and my tech looked at each other and we were like, wow!..."
