classic bass tone.[/quote]
Just gigged with the TV12. Pub gig, Live drummer, LOUD guitarist. NO PROBLEM. The TV12 holds it's own . . . and I only needed 2/3 of the available power. The landlord said you could hear the bass down the road! Plenty of bottom end but with a clarity that only 12inch speakers bring (my other rig is an Aguilar 2x12). And for big gigs, you got the DI . . . I dont think you'll struggle to hear yourself as this little combo rocks.
So . . . it's easily luggable but built to last, looks the dogs!, good range of tones, (pure fender courtesy of my 63 and 71 precisions) and I doubt I'll be karting my aguilar 2x12 and orange ad200 around much longer. If you really are worried about the power then go for the 15, but to my mind the 12 is a great useable package. Ok so not cheap, but I'm one happy customer
