Fender 59 Bassman LTD
That was then...
The fender Bassman amplifier of the 50's evolved as the pro bassist's answer to to amplifying a great new invention: the Fender Precision bass. This powerful 50-watt rig could easily compete along with the common instrumentation of the day : horns, piano, 4-piece drum kit with calf-skin heads, and maybe an electric guitarist with a nice, new 10-watt amp. By the '60's and '70's, the original all-tube "Tweed" 4x10 Bassman gained popularity with rock, country and blues guitarists as a great-sounding, reliable and easy to use guitar amp. This is now.
In the 1990's Fender released an affordable reissue of the now-collectable '59 Bassman Amplifier to massive acclaim. Many guitarists tired of experimenting with preamps, equalizers and effect racks rediscovered the simple pleasure of plugging into a Fender Tube amp and rocking. 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 pedal hooked into it. The reissue Bassman has continued to be a staple of the Fender guitar amp line to this day. |
