Undoubtedly the worst bass configuration ever. The 410 dates to the '59 Bassman combo, a horrible bass amp as it was open back. Great guitar amp, though. The next rig I recall that used tens for bass was the'69 Ampeg SVT 810. The drivers were generic musical instrument with maybe 1mm xmax, so it took two of those cabs to handle the 300 watt head. 410s started appearing shortly after that, followed by 410s loaded with tweeters, usually piezos. The nominal crossover was around 4kHz, at least an octave higher than it should have been, and that combined with the comb filtering created by placing the woofers side by side made for sonic garbage. But since the guys playing them didn't know any better they've survived to this day. As bad as they are they pale in comparison to 12 inch loaded guitar cabs with drivers placed side by side, though. If Leo Fender had understood speaker design that never would have happened, but he didn't, so when he brought out the benchmark 212 combo it ended up with them side by side rather than over and under.
