Intro

IN STORE PICKUP ONLY!

The 1962 Fender Bassman Brownface serial number BP03815, stands as a landmark in American guitar tone. From Fender's Brownface era, this model bridges the warm, organic vibe of Tweed with the tighter, more powerful response that would define later Blackface amps. Though originally voiced for bass, its dynamic touch sensitivity, rich harmonics, and musical clean-to-overdrive range make it a standout guitar amp as well. Powered by the legendary 6G6-B circuit, it delivers about 50 watts from two 6L6 tubes, offering substantial clean headroom, punchy lows, and articulate highs. Professionally electronically reconditioned and fully retubed, this Bassman preserves its authentic voice while delivering reliable performance for stage or studio use.
