Fender 59 Bassman LTD Description:

Our reissue of the classic 45 Watt '59 Bassman has found fantastic acclaim, with features including lacquered tweed covering, solid pine cabinet, four 10" Jensen® speakers, premium tubes, and normal and bright channels with two inputs each. The Bassman amp's wide stage coverage, touch sensitive dynamics, and full-frequency "swirl" make it the perfect vehicle for building a great tone with almost any guitar or effect pedal plugged into it. Fitted cover included.

The '50s Fender Bassman was the pro bassist's answer to amplifying a great new invention: the Fender Precision Bass® guitar. This powerful 50-watt rig could easily compete with the common instrumentation of the day: horns, piano, four-piece drum kit with calfskin heads, and maybe even an electric guitar through a nice, new 10-watt amp! By the '60s and '70s, the original all-tube "Tweed" 4x10 Bassman was popular with rock, country and blues guitarists as a reliably great-sounding and easy-to-use guitar amp. Even some emerging British amp designers of the day copied its circuitry for use in their most celebrated designs.

In the 1990s, Fender released an affordable reissue of the now-collectible '59 Bassman amplifier to massive acclaim. Many guitarists, tired of experimenting with preamps, equalizers, and effects racks, rediscovered the simple pleasure of plugging into a Fender tube amp. The Bassman's wide stage coverage, touch-sensitive dynamics and full-frequency "swirl" make it the perfect vehicle for building a great tone with almost any guitar or effect. The reissue Bassman continues to be a staple of the Fender guitar amp line to this day.

The new '59 Bassman LTD is enhanced with:

Genuine lacquered Tweed covering.

Finger-joined pine cabinet for woody, resonant tone.

Original spec 5AR4 rectifier tube for natural compression when playing hard.

Internal bias pot makes it easier to experiment with various output tubes.

Two GT-6L6 Groove Tube™ output tubes.

Three improved 12AX7 preamp tubes.

Fitted cover.
