FS Fender Bassman 135 1978 and Bassman 2x15
Hello there,
Regualar poster on basschat.co.uk but first time here!
As much as I love this amp for it's tone and looks, I've left my band and can't see me using it in the near future and therefore I can't justify keeping it...
Here's some pictures:
I bought this last year and the guy had had this amp from new and is from 1978. He'd done a lot of work reconditioning it and I also had it serviced and revalved in January this year (a tube blew) by Rob Weinbrock at Weinbrock amps and had a set of 6n3cE output tubes in which sound lovely - bit of info here on them http://jeffsplace.me/wordpress/?p=188
Aesthetically the amp is in great condition but noticeably has been recovered in Marshall red.
I've only used this amp for some rehearsals and recording since the revalve so probably had around 50 hours use of the new valves.
The cab I picked up off a mate who'd had it handed down through the ages. From what I can work out it's from the late 60's possibly '68, can't remember now where I read and worked this out but it's down to the old logo plate with the tail (amazingly these alone go for £100!)
The cab is in pretty shabby condition, ripped tolex and only one handle intact. The speakers are original speakers as far as I'm aware, and IMO still sounds ace.
Price = £700 o.no. no trades thanks.
Collection would be necessary considering the size and weight - I live in Huddersfield
Please message me should you need any further info or pictures,
Tom
That's sweet....!!!
I used to own a Bassman 100 Head, I have to say, it was the sweet-est tone I have ever heard, for out-right tone with no reverb, they are very hard to beat, mine was the most touch sensitive amp I have used, the 50 watt version is nice as well, I used mine for guitar like, but I sold it too a bass player, how much more versatile can you get LoL
