Bassman love?

[JackBootedThug]

So I have a confession…I love fender bassman’s. A modded bassman would be killer. Mv and a loop…sign me up. I would love to get a tweaked kruse modded one for a sleeper. One of the rare 200 watt versions would be even better… any of you guys rocking a bassman?

I've been known to rock a Bassman or two...

I found one local years ago cheap and did not grab it. So fucking stupid....

This is my old stock Bassman 50 that was at a Louisiana ampfest about 10 years ago. @Devin was there. This was fellow HCAF forumite Kage playing with what I believe were active pups, no boost. But yeah a Bassman cranked is serious business. I could get all kinds of tones out of this thing from shred to doom.

You still have that?

No I don't. I actually bought it back then from a good buddy of mine that was going through a divorce plus was having a drug problem. He sold it to me for 80 bucks! A couple years later when he got his shit together I sold it back to him for the same price.

He did offer it to me recently for a grand. He still has it in a closet. It's been retolexed and regrilled to look original.

Great, underrated amps. I have a 68 drip edge. And, contrary to what most believe, one of the all time greatest hard rock tones ever, AIC Facelift, was confirmed to be slightly modded blackface Bassman with a modded Butler Tube Driver in front through an early 70s Marshall straight cab..
..this was stated by the engineer Mr Ronnie Champagne. The Snorkler was used for leads and some dirty cleans.

i STILL regret selling my drip edge.

A lawrence petross 68 (low gain MIAB) into a cranked drip edge is the nectar of the gods.

Came across this one a few years back. Not the greatest quality but it's pretty evident it's a smoking amp....

 

[thenine]

I have a Cameron modded ‘69 Bassmsn with Tiago’s name on it! No loop though. So I use a Boss TAE with it.

 

[VESmedic]

That’s about all I used in Nashville, very little else. The best cleans, the best overdrive and grunt, still can’t be beat.

 

[PhilC]

6g6-b could easily be the only amp I own if I had some nice pedals.

 

[JackBootedThug]

a headfirst loop should not be to hard to install in one right?

Yup... love my '65 stock Bassman! I have yet to f*ck with rewiring my 72 Pulsonic 1960B cab to 4 Ohms to plug the Bassman into it... may happen some day soon, though.

I got to clean, test, and play my buddies neglected 67 Bassman one summer. You should have seen it when I got it.

What year did the 100’s with the master volume come out? Late 70’s? Wonder if it affected the sound.
