The Fender Bassman 300 Pro offers 2, 4, and 8 ohm taps versus the SVT's 2 and 4 ohm options, allowing more cabinet flexibility.

The Bassman 300 Pro has a versatile second channel that can achieve a doom metal sound without additional pedals.

The Bassman 300 Pro includes a useful compression knob and a line-out option, ideal for integrating with external music sources like turntables for parties.

Owners mention the Fender lacks a fan, which can be preferable at low volumes compared to the SVT's potentially distracting fan noise.

Owners find the graphic EQ overpowering, with many preferring the simpler high and low adjustments instead.

The Fender's controls are close to the cabinet edge, leading to settings being accidentally altered during movement.

Despite its versatility, the Fender's array of knobs and controls may require significant tweaking to achieve desired tones compared to the simpler setup of an SVT.

The amp is powerful enough that efficiency in cabinet choice isn't critical, as it performs well even with a single 115 cab.

The Bassman 300 Pro is noted for its heavier weight compared to other amps, making transport difficult for frequent gigs.

The older Bassman 300 Pro differs from newer models, such as the new Bassman 300t, which features auto-biasing tubes and a distinct "Fender Design."

A second-hand price of $1500 AUD is considered steep, especially compared to the US market where used units fetch around $800 USD.
