I just got it a couple weeks ago and love it, really just want the manual as like collectors piece. Thanks for responding though. Curious as to what you thought of your bxr 400?

It was cool, definitely a product of its time. Basically a budget power amp with a decent, feature packed pre attached. Fender’s attempt to address the separate rack pre-amp/power amp trend of the 80’s in one package, with biamp capabilities. Still, kinda heavy, kinda underpowered(the “400” means 2x200 watts at 4 ohm, I think it was 125/channel at 8). Still, mine powered a Mesa 2x15 cab in the low end, and a 2x10(no horn)that I built to match, and did a very adequate job up against a very loud Hendrix driven guitarist who employed a Marshall combo with a 4x10 cab attached. The one feature on the pre that I didn’t understand at the time was the patch loop on each channel, but now I see how that would work with certain effects in certain situations. Great graphic EQ.

It's certainly been interesting learning about all this stuff. I've been playing bass a little over a year and normally I wouldnt have went in so much but I found the bxr spectrum cabinet for a good deal on letgo and said why not get the matching head lol. Love to hear the stories from people who have used the heads during gigs because it sounds like they hold up real well, and pretty simple to fix.
