Description Brand: Fender Exact Year: 1954
The amp you're viewing is the sweetest sounding amp I've ever played through, but I've decided to sell it because I want a bigger, more expensive tweed pro to gig with and I can't afford to get it unless I sell off some stuff. I made the mistake of going to a Joe Bonamassa concert where he was using 2 vintage tweed bassmans and and 2 vintage tweed twins. Just from what I can see from this little amp I'm listing, it's not hype. Vintage tweed IS all that; it's the way to go. I bought it just recently because I wanted to see what all the buzz is about, plus it was a good bet cause I knew I could get my money back, or most of it. Obviously I wasn't disappointed. I really wish I could keep it AND get the bigger amp. Okay, about the amp. 4 watts, original except for the power cord, and a leaking filter cap that was replaced. The 6V6 power tube may be a replacement, but it's a vintage RCA tube. The speaker is also a replacement - a Weber signature series that sounds awesome. The original parts, including the speaker (needs to be re-coned) will be shipped with the amp. As you can see from the pictures, it's in pretty dang good cosmetic shape for being 62 years old, and it's dead quiet. The first time I turned it on, I thought something was wrong because I couldn't hear anything until I strummed my guitar. That was a first for me. The amp is capable of being surprisingly loud for being so small and having a 6" speaker. Great for recording, jamming without a drummer, and I even thought about mic'n it through our PA. It's not a toy, but a collectible amp that sounds great and is a sure investment. They ain't getting cheaper folks. As always, I ONLY ship to the continental 48 US states. I pack well, insure, and ship fast. Shipping & insurance is on me.
