About This Listing
This 1957Fender Bassman has been serviced by Tom Austin in Los Angeles, all the original parts come w it! It plays EXCELLENT and sounds amazing, ready to gig and enjoy! Retweeded by a Fender employee,looks great!
While the original Bassman combo of 1952 was intended to accompany Fender's new electronic basses, it didn't take long for rock and blues guitarist to embrace the raw tube power of the line. In 1954, the Bassman was upgraded from a 1x15 to a 4x10-inch combo. The early era of Fender Bassman amps laid the groundwork for virtually all rock combos to follow, so much so that it was the 4x10 Bassman that inspired the very first Marshall-branded amp in 1962. Starting in mid-1957, this map had four inputs instead of two.
Like most early guitar amp combos, the value of Fender Bassman amps is extremely susceptible to condition. Very few all-original early Bassman amps remain intact giving the delicacy of some components like the Tweed covering.
Years of Production: 1952 - 1971
Electronics: 40-watts, four inputs, 2 x 2AY7 pre-amp tubes, 2 x 6L6G power-tubes, 2 x 5U4GA rectifier tubes
Controls: Volume, 3-band EQ, Presence, Volume Bright, Volume Normal
