Fender® 1959 Bassman LTD

The Bassman cometh.

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 '90s, 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.
