Fender Bassman 5F6-A 40-Watt 4x10" Guitar Combo 1959 - Tweed - Reboxed
Original 1959 Bassman chassis and electronics, widely regarded as one of the best-sounding tube amp circuits ever made - the same 5F6-A design that inspired the Marshall JTM45. This example has been reboxed into a Fender '59 Bassman reissue tweed cabinet, fitted with the matching reissue Alnico speakers. Amp has been recapped, and both the power and output transformers have been replaced.
Good condition - clean overall, grade reflects the non-original cabinet and speakers rather than any wear or damage. Though the amp has been reboxed and had transformers replaced, the circuit appears to be unmodified.
