Vintage 1970′s Fender Bassman 50 Tube Guitar Bass Amplifier Amp & 2 x15 Cabinet
The fine item you are considering is a Vintage 1970′s Fender Bassman 50 Tube Guitar Bass Amplifier Amp & 2 x15 Speaker Cabinet. This cool vintage silver face Fender Bassman 50 amp head and speaker cabinet combo is in typical used condition, with the amp powering up and sounding great. There are some expected issues, such as the amp clicking and popping for a few minutes once it has been turned on, but eventually it calms down and runs pretty silently. The switches and pots are scratchy from age, and really the amp has been unused in very long storage so it should be gone through by an amp tech, thoroughly internally cleaned and like with most old amps, re-caped, but as I said, it is functional as it is. Just expect it to be in “unrestored” condition and having the various issues an amp from the’70′s that has been in long storage might have. Cosmetically, the map makes a nie overall impression, but the lower right corner of the speaker grille is bending out a bit. Some fresh Velcro would hold this down, as pressure from my finger sets it back into the correct position. Also, there are metal arms that come out of the head designed to attach it to the speaker cabinet, but I do not have the screws that bolt the head to the cabinet. The 2 x 15 cabinet sounds great and has removable wheels on the bottom. Please see my photos to have a look at this nice item.
