1958 Fender Super Tweed 5F4 Vintage Tube Amp 2×10 Pre-CBS, Jensen P10R
Sunday, December 31st, 2017Up for sale, a 1958 Fender Super, complete with its original tweed and a pair of Jensen P10R alnico 10 speakers. One of the most rare, sought after, and collectable Fender Tweed amps ever produced (with good reason), the Tweed Super is the baby brother of the Bassman in many respects, offering the same harmonic rich, dynamic tones in a more studio friendly and portable enclosure. The low end is wooly and thick, the midrange has just the right amount of punch, and the top end is classic’50s Fender with detail and balance that few other amps can match. Clear and present, with incredible low end response even at low volumes, the Super allows you to easily dial in the right amount of bite and a touch of overdrive when you dig in. After around 6-7 on the volume dial, the amp cascades into full tube saturation, with sweet, singing overdrive. Thoroughly maintained, this Fender Super sounds every bit as good as vintage amp lore would suggest, and the original, aged tweed definitely looks the part too! The circuit has just been gone through by our techs here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar, and the preamp boasts a couple original yellow Astron tone caps as well as a few blue Ajax caps (typically seen in Brownface/Blackface era Fenders). The amp has been fully recapped and the pots are a mix of mid-60s CTS and original Stackpole pots dating to 1957. The power transformer is a modern replacement, while the output transformer is a genuine open bell, black frame Schumacher transformer that dates to 1958. While not original to this amp, this transformer is as virtually identical in every way and sounds like a genuine vintage component should. On the faceplate, the stock chicken head knobs are intact and a modest amount of the original white lettering is present as well. The faceplate does show wear and pitting, although it’s been shined up and looks presentable. The amp is fitted with a pair of modern Jensen P10R green frame speakers with proper bell covers, and these are soldered to the original wiring harness. The stock tube chart is present and quite clean, denoting the 5F4 circuit and also still featuring a lightly stamped “HC” date code which translates to March of 1958. The original lacquered tweed is intact and oh, if this amp could talk! A undisputed road warrior, this tweed is worn and ambered, but remarkably still present. The clean, original “Fender Super” badge is present on the face of the amp and the amp is fitted with a genuine’50s Fender leather handle. Comparable only to the Bassman in terms of Fender’s tweed dual 6L6 offerings, the Super is a standout favorite among collectors and players alike!

1965 Fender Bassman Blackface Piggyback Vintage Tube Amp AA165 FEIC, Jensen C12N
Saturday, December 30th, 2017Up for sale, a 1965 Fender Bassman head and matching 2×12 cab loaded with stock Jensen C12N speakers and complete with a host of vintage RCA and Telefunken tubes. This fully serviced vintage Blackface Fender amp is a true AA165 circuit Bassman with a Pre-CBS “Fender Electric Instruments” faceplate and early’65 date codes. For clarity, warmth, and headroom, this Bassman excels at delivering sweet and articulate Fender clean tones. Once you reach about 5 on the volume dial, the circuit starts to overdrive smoothly and compress a bit, for a raw, thick sound that’s perfect for guitar or bass. It’s a simple and pure vintage Fender “piggyback” head and cab setup that provides a perfect platform for effect pedals, and is ready for stage and studio use. Arguably the circuit available for the briefest period of time in the Blackface era, the AA165 circuit designation is seen on many tube charts (Leo Fender was never one to waste anything), but under the hood, the actual AA165 circuit was only seen for a few months in early’65 before transitioning to the AB15 that would be seen through 1968. The circuit retains all of the original transformers which all date to the first weeks of 1965 along with the CTS pots and chassis stamp. All of the original blue molded Ajax caps are present in the preamp and the amp has just been professionally recapped with new filter and bypass caps as necessary to keep the amp operating in tip-top shape. On the inside of the head cabinet, the original tube chart is present with a “OD” date stamp which translates to April of 1965. The amp is fitted with a modern three-prong cable. The tubes consist of a pair of vintage RCA 6L6GC power tubes, along with a trio of RCA 12AX7s and a Telefunken 12AT7 phase inverter tube. The power tubes are properly biased and sound particularly lush and hi-fi, and the Telefunken has a distinct tightness and headroom. The speaker cab is loaded with a pair of original Jensen C12N speakers, and these 12 drivers are arguably the most desirable speakers for the Blackface Bassman. These speakers are detailed, clear, and well balanced, overdriving with very rich and balanced overtones. The frames are very clean, the original gold Jensen labels are present, and both speakers have their original cones. Cosmetically, this is a clean and well cared for Bassman with original smooth black tolex and silver sparkle grillcloth on both the head and speaker cabinet. There are only a few requisite scuffs and nicks on the edges of the enclosures, and this amp would look great in a studio collection. All of the original hardware is present, including the tilt-back chrome legs, nickel corners, handles, sphinx glides (feet), and Fender logos. The faceplate is also quite clean and complete with original witch hat knobs. There’s a bit of light patina on the hardware as well as faint aging of the grillcloth on the head in particular, but that’s about the extent of any wear! This Bassman is clean, complete, and works exactly as intended for delivering powerful Fender cleans and thick overdriven textures.
