PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 
 In early 1952, the Fender® Bassman® amplified a great new invention - the Fender Precision Bass® guitar. At 50 watts, it competed easily with the common instrumentation of the day: horns, piano, small drum kit, and maybe even an electric guitar through a new 10-watt amp. Through 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. In the ’90s, Fender released an affordable ’59 Bassman reissue amplifier to great acclaim. Many guitarists, tired of experimenting with preamps, equalizers and effects racks, rediscovered the simple pleasure of plugging into a Fender tube amp. The reissue Bassman’s wide stage coverage, touch-sensitive dynamics and full-frequency swirl make it perfect for building great tone with almost any guitar or effect, and it remains a staple of the Fender guitar amp line to this day.

 Just pushing it over the edge You know, that's what every overdrive pedal is trying to replicate that kind of vibe. So yeah, very cool And now we're going to try the same guitar with a blend of both channels Put the normal channel up to eight and the bright channel Up to about five. Here we go Um All right, so That was maybe the loudest amp i've ever had in the house here that I can remember It feels ridiculously loud having four speakers and 50 watts and being able to jump the channels like that What a tone though. It is unreal It's one of the few sort of amps without a reverb where you don't necessarily need a reverb But I know a lot of people including myself like to know how these kind of amps will work with a reverb going into the front end Now rick and I dr rick and I had already shot a video of this amp on 10 So if you want to see that i'll try and find it and link it up in the cards But what a cool amplifier man

 Oh Um It's loud that is loud All right And now the amplifier on eight and a half. This one's got a couple little crackles I think one of the valves might be a bit funky, but let's push it. Anyway, here we go Eight and a half starting with the volume control down So Oh, and now the reverb off Oh Man oh man, it feels really great and it's got this really great Um sort of just natural sustain about it at that kind of volume where the reverb isn't really essential Before we get over to the humbuckers Let's see how we go with a strata caster with the volume on both the bright and normal channel up at 12 o'clock I'm jumping these channels. Here we go So So Um, oh man a little bit of reverb Um It's loud it is so loud let's try the bright channel now with some humbuckers Thanks to this talk

 I can see now why So many people rave about these if you're say playing at a club where you can get away with running this up man, it just It just holds on to the notes beautifully you get just beautiful sustain And you get all the reaction from playing soft and then playing hard. It sounds great for chords It sounds great for lead and crack it up and get big rock and roll sounds. So Overall, this thing is an absolute monster Well, I don't know what else to say other than it's a classic for a reason I really dig it if you want to find out more about this links the sky music will be below if you live overseas Outside of australia I'll leave some sweetwater and toman links down there and you can check it out in your part of the world If you're looking for a classic check this thing out, man It is the buy some earplugs as well get some earplugs when you buy this amp definitely I needed them in it was so loud Thanks again. Catch you soon

 Anyway, here we go Eight and a half starting with the volume control down So Oh, and now the reverb off Oh Man oh man, it feels really great and it's got this really great Um sort of just natural sustain about it at that kind of volume where the reverb isn't really essential Before we get over to the humbuckers Let's see how we go with a strata caster with the volume on both the bright and normal channel up at 12 o'clock I'm jumping these channels. Here we go So So Um, oh man a little bit of reverb Um It's loud it is so loud let's try the bright channel now with some humbuckers Thanks to this talk. I love rock electric guitar. This is bridge pick up Um Now while the cops are probably going to get called It's maybe one of the best tones i've heard in this room But at a volume that's just completely unacceptable for home use But yeah as a gigging amp and just the tone that tone is rock and roll right there

Fender '59 Bassman - It's 'Call the Cops' LOUD!

 Bright 1 and Normal 1 provide you with 6dB (decibels) more gain. So already you have so many tonal configurations to choose from. Additionally, you can "jumper" between the bright and normal channels if you choose to dial in your tone that way. Personally, I exclusively use the normal channel (1st and 2nd inputs) because the bright channel is just TOO bright for my liking

 I'm leaving this review today because I absolutely LOVE this amp and I would like to share with you some things I've learnt about this beautiful beast over the last 8 years. Before you even plug your guitar into the amp you'll notice that there are 4 input jacks (Bright 1, Bright 2, Normal 1 and Normal 2). Bright 1 and Normal 1 provide you with 6dB (decibels) more gain. So already you have so many tonal configurations to choose from

 In fact, when you first get this amp you may think both channels are too bright. Don't be discouraged though, it takes a long time to break in Jensen P10Rs. My advice is to either play a loop through the amp or simply just play at loud volumes for extended periods of time. One of the things I really like about this amp is that it's super sensitive to your picking dynamics

 My advice is to either play a loop through the amp or simply just play at loud volumes for extended periods of time. One of the things I really like about this amp is that it's super sensitive to your picking dynamics. I've found that the Bassman really exposes players with bad technique and playing dynamics. Although the amp is bare bones, it takes pedals extremely well

Great Amp if you're patient

 I'm going to do one other guitar here, do a hollow body, because why not, sorry, a little popping sound, so this will be normal channel two, because I'm going to go for just kind of like a nice warm jazz sound, so typically I'd use the normal for that. Channel two, because this is a hollow body, so I really want not a lot of gain, so it'll stay clean as well as not feedback too, too much, so this is what I got right now. Right, so you see a really, really nice sound, I could roll off some tone and get a little bit more of this kind of sound. Now with this guitar, if I was using it more in a jazz setting, I'd probably use the normal channel, if I was doing more of an acoustic show, I might switch over to the bright channel, I'd probably still stay in input two, because again, I don't really, this wouldn't be a guitar I would look to really do much of any gain on, because it's going to feedback, but here, on the bright channel, plenty bright, right, for sure for more acoustic-y stuff

Right, sounds great. So hopefully that was helpful, feel free to leave any comments, subscribe if you like it

 So now, put up some distortion on, this will be the rich humbucker. So here, what's nice is, starting wide, there's not a ton of gain, which I like, I like to have some kind of option where it's just a nice, kind of smoother, lower gain, and then one of the things I like most, as I mentioned before, is having some kind of booster pedal at the beginning of your chain, because it almost gives several other more channels to whatever gain pedal you're using. So here is RC Booster on top of it, with channel one, it's already a nice, pretty fat rock and roll sound, well, I should tune it, but that's okay, and here's one more boost on top of it, so definitely getting into that classic rock gain thing, and again, I don't do a whole lot of high gain stuff, so that's about as gainy as I ever get, but you could even, if you wanted to, put a tube screamer on top of that for more lead and delay and all that kind of stuff, it's going to be able to do all that kind of thing too. So again, that is a Les Paul, I'm going through the bright channel too, you could certainly do normal, but again, Les Pauls are already a little dark, so for me, sometimes that normal channel will get a little bit too dark and muddy, and it's nice for the Les Paul to do bright

 It sounds really good on the bridge, and I'll get a nice twang, again, what's nice is on this bright setting, it's pretty twangy, I mean, it's got a lot of brightness to it. I can adjust that presence, which is nice, so if I put the presence up a little more, it would get even a little more twangy. If it's getting a little too harsh on that top end, I might roll some of the presence off. Now you can do the same thing with the treble, sort of, but for me, I like to kind of keep the EQ the same, and then that presence is just affecting a certain frequency

It's the world's finest amp!

 When I used to use this amp performing and recording all around New England years ago, this was my main amp for a very, very long time. It is still my, it's a very dear amp to me. It's my favorite amp. I've named this amp Old Yeller

 So here it is, the Full Tone Plym Soul into the Basement using a Les Paul. Now, I'm going to play a couple of clips here using the Stratocaster and the ES-335, and now for the last part, we are going to get this amp rip roaring, wide open, turned all the way up. I'm going to use the Telecaster and the Les Paul. Again with the Telecaster, I'm going to go straight into the normal channel, and I'm going to keep that slap back echo on there so that you can hear kind of that, that old school sort of, you know, very, very old bluesy rock tone, and then with the Les Paul, jumping the channels and just using the amp's natural goodness for that clip

 What? So that's with the amp on half and it's severely saturated already and I guess this is the kind of thing that a lot of pedals are trying to emulate, is that exact sort of sound. So should we crank it up some more? Let's give it the amp a go. Let's give it a go. Let's give it a go

The Fender '59 Bassman on FULL Volume! 😀🎸

Great amp with super-clean sound.  12ax7 and 6L6 tubes are plentiful and easy to roll, making changing the character of the amp very flexible.

Best sound I have ever heard from an amp.

Absolutely amazing tone and vibe. All my guitars have a new life! And I can swap out the bass any time.

I would recommend to any player over the age of 30.

I've wanted this amp for at least the last decade, but couldn't justify it since I either had another amp at the time or was living in an apartment and couldn't play that loud. I finally broke down and bought it and I couldn't be happier. It's so simple to use and sounds incredible! I've tried a variety of settings including the ones suggested on the piece of cardboard that comes with the amp (which are actually quite helpful), as well as using with and without my beloved ts-9, and I have to say that it sounds best to me with the guitar plugged straight in and just cranked! I keep going back and forth, but the conclusion I keep arriving at is why would you pay all that money for an amp with such a warm natural overdrive just use a pedal to simulate that?! The only scenario I can see this amp being a problem is a small gig, where the volume needed to overdrive it would send people running out the door and make enemies with the sound guy! The eq section responds very differently than any amp I've previously owned as well, and it's important to mention that as a lot of guitarists like to crank the bass and shy away from mids and presence, but on this amp with the volume turned up that will sound awful! Again, the recommended settings that come with it are a good place to start even if they seem a little unconventional.

Ultimately, if you play blues, country, classic rock or similar styles of music, this amp is phenomenal! If you play metal however, this isn't the right amp for you. True, it has a remarkable clean tone that can take pedals very well, but driving it with fuzz or distortion just seems wrong somehow. Like you're trying to make it something it's not.

The amp I've always wanted and now I have one. I rule!
