About this listing
This is an extremely rare 1957 Fender Tweed Bassman, 5F6 circuit. This amp is on excellent 9/10 condition and impossible to find in this original state. The only changes are the filter caps, and the addition of a 3 prong cord, everything else is original, even the Victoria luggage works cloth cover. Transformers, capacitors, speakers & cones are all original. The amp plays beautifully, has a strong clean sound and overdrives gloriously as you turn it up and bridge the channels. This is a commission sale. This Bassman is so original that we decided to sell this in its current extremely original condition and resist the temptation to replace known worn parts!Fender Bassman – 1957 5F6·Model - Tweed Bassman Narrow Panel - 1957 5F6·Year - August 1957 (Tube Chart Date Stamp = GH)·Circuit - 5F6·Type - Combo / 4 x 10·Cabinet Cloth - Tweed Lacquered Honey Coloured·Grill Cloth - Tweed Era Chocolate ·Handle - Original Leather Handle·Cover - Original “Victoria Luggage Works” cloth cover·Power transformer - Original Triad·Output transformer - Original·Capacitors - Original Astrons·Resistors - Original Carbon Comp·Input Valves - 12AY7 x 1, 12AX7 x 2·Output Valves - RCA 5881 (6L6) x 2, Brown Base·Valve Rectifier - Raytheon 83 Mercury Vapour·Filter Caps - Sprague Atom (Replacements)·Power Cable - 3 Core earthed cable replacement (original kept)·Speakers - Jensen, P10R Alnico, Original·Cones - 3010Y20-H1, W471, Original Cones·Condition - Excellent Working Condition·Top Speakers Model & Date Stamps - P10R C5888 4, 220729 (Jensen, 1957, Week 29)·Bottom Speaker Model & Date Stamps - P10R C5036 4, 220726 (Jensen, 1957, Week 26)
