Jigster Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 (edited) The time may have come to move this on, but right now just a FEELER for interest in this vintage Fender Bassman 135. Bought from Umcoo on this very forum - it's a 1980 model, runs at 4ohms, and currently has four EHX 6L6s in the power valve dept, and 3 EHX in the pre-amp - two 12AX7s and an 12AT7. Considering its age, I've had no issues with it. The amp has that wonderful richness of tone you find in valves, can be played clean or, as seen in the pic, patched [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]to run both sides of the pre-amp valves, for extra grit, and punch.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]This first pic is courtesy of Umcoo but I can provide more pics for any interested BCers.[/font][/color] [attachment=115077:DSCF1578.jpeg] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Second pic is from a recording session with my old Berg cab[/font][/color] [attachment=115078:IMG_7378.jpg] Edited August 13, 2012 by Jigster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jigster Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 ah, that makes sense now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umcoo Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Stunning amp...loved it when it was mine. It really roared when you pushed it, but had that great creamy bassy sound. This used to be vegas_hooker's (on here) amp before I got it, so it has a fairly long BC history. Good luck with the sale Jig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
