In the early 1950s, the Fender Bassman began to sound like a new invention - the Fender Precision Bass. With fifty watts, the Bassman had the volume to compete with all the instruments of the day - piano, small drum kit, brass or electric guitar.
During the 60s and 70s, this full-amp, tweed beauty became very popular with rock, country and blues guitarists. They relied on its perfect sound and ease of use. Then in the 1990s, Fender came out with a reissue of this machine, which was again a spectacular success. Many guitarists then rediscovered that plugging an instrument into a simple all-tube amp was more convenient than dealing with preamps, equalizers and various effects.
The next reissue of this combo confirms that this dynamic and rich-sounding instrument has much to offer today's modern guitarists. It's simply something that never disappoints, because it can't.
The '59 Bassman is a limited edition with a power output of 45 W. This is taken care of by 3 12AX7 preamp tubes and 2 6L6 tubes in the final amplifier. The combo is equipped with 4 10" speakers.
On the top panel we find 4 instrument inputs (2x Bright and 2x Normal). The sound of the two channels can be adjusted using the Presence potentiometers, 3-band equalizer and volume controls, which are separate for the Bright and Normal channels.
The Fender '59 Bassman is the professional combo for the discerning musician who craves the immortal classics that made rock history and beyond.
