I'm surprised to hear that someone felt a 2 - 12 Twin was light on bass
response. The 65' RI 2 -12 Twin is actually quite heavy on bass response and
moves more air than a single 15 would, yet I'm sure the single 15 is capable of
darker tones. Theoretically, 2 - 12's produce punchier bass 'cause the voice
coils will respond quicker on 12's than on 15's BUT at guitar frequencies, I
doubt one wiould notice anymore punch between the two different speaker set ups.

Subject: [SurfGuitar101] Re: Fender '65 Twin Reverb Custom 15 Review...
There was a small rattle that seemed to eminate from the
speaker cone, but it went away with the break in. Now, it is dead
quiet. I just see potential in someone looking for clean sound
wtih a lot more bass response...a friend who plays rock through
an AC30 said his main complaint was that the Twin Reverb was
thin on bass response. I'll be interested to hear his opinion of
this amp. I think Fender is making a mistake trying to sell this as
a steel amp, that almost kept me from buying it. I think it is
perfect for surf.
