Description
Brand: Fender Exact Year: 1964


I'm selling my early 64 6G6-B Bassman. 50 watts of glorious tube power. It's has been gone through, retubed and had some minor mods and tweaks by John Landgraff when he was alive. 6l6's are the preferred series from the tubestore.com(check the review on their website). In the V3 position is a 12ax7are Mullard Master Series tube that sounds nice and sweet. A 12at7wa JAN Phillips in the phase inverter position, which are balanced and last forever. In V1 and V2 there are some decent Chinese tubes which are place holders because I don't use the bass channel? This amp sounds phenomenal, but is too loud for me these days being a dad. I use it with a two twelve cabinet with two greenbacks in it. It sounds similar to a Marshall JTM-45 a friend use to own. Gets that fat, round, punchy power tube distortion with super fast attack. Notes are heard immediately as their played, no sag possibly due to the original oversized transformers, solid state rectifiers Leo used and the coupling capacitors John used. New electrolytic also, so this amp is ready to go. Also the amp is dead quite, no hum for a 53yr old amp. Since I don't play out no more just recording these days. I need something that will break up at lower volumes. I hate to do it, but my loss is your gain. Sound like Brian Seltzer or Mike Bloomfield. I've even seen pics of Pete Townsend playing one. 117 volts, 60 cyclesThanks for looking, Chris
