Fender Vintage Reissue 59 Bassman LTD Guitar Tube Amplifier, Lacquered Tweed, 230V UK

In the 1950's, the Fender Bassman was developed to amplify the newly invented Precision Bass guitar. This 50W rig allowed the bass to hold its own onstage with drums, electric guitars, and miked pianos, the common instrumentation of the day.

In time it also won the hearts of guitarists who loved its simplicity, great tone, excellent dispersion, and touch-sensitive dynamics. This reissue is true to the original while adding several enhancements: U.S.-made GT-6L6 output tubes, improved 12AX7 preamp tubes, and an internal bias pot, making it easier to experiment with other output tubes. It also features a genuine lacquered tweed covering, solid finger-jointed pine cabinet, and an original-spec 4AR4 rectifier tube for natural compression when you play hard. It comes with a fitted cover.
