In the 1950, the Bassman was perfect for amplifying that new invention, the Fender Precision Bass. This 50W rig allowed the bass to hold its own on stage with drums, electric guitars, and miked piano, the common instrumentation of the day. Over the years, it also won the hearts of guitarist who, after experimenting with all kinds of preamps and effects racks, found its simplicity, great tone, excellent dispersion, and touch-sensitive dynamics a true pleasure. This new reissue is true to the original but has several enhancements: US-made GT-6L6 output tubes, improved 12AX7 preamp tubes, and an internal bias pot making it easier to experiment with other output tubes. It also features a genuine lacquered tweed covering, solid finger-jointed pine cabinet, and an original-spec 4AR4 rectifier tube for natural compression when you play hard. Includes fitted cover.
