THe Fender 59 Bassman LTD recreates one of the seminal guitar amplifiers, popular with both bass players and guitarists and the basis for many other designs, including the Marshall JTM45.
As stock, the Fender 59 Bassman LTD delivers 45 watts through four 10 inch Jensen P10R speakers. This example was built during 2016 and is in great condition, looking as if it spent most of its time in studios.
Here’s the builder on the Fender 59 Bassman LTD:
“The modern edition of one of the greatest guitar amps ever made. The mighty 4×10″ Bassman began life as a bass amp before guitar players discovered its sonic wonders and adopted it as their own. Prized by guitarists everywhere for more than half a century now, it lives on as a must-have guitar amp treasured for its pure sound, workhorse reliability, classic style and uncluttered ease of use. Countless guitar players have rediscovered the great simple pleasure of plugging into this amp, and today’s ’59 Bassman® LTD delivers wide stage coverage, touch-sensitive dynamics and full-frequency tone that make it perfect for building great sound with any guitar and effect. A Fender classic then and now. ”
At the time the originals of this amp were built, built-in Reverb was not an option – that started to appear in 1963 with the Deluxe Reverb. Fender did offer standalone tube-powered Reverb units. Here, the owner has included a Boss FRV-1 pedal that models the Fender 1963 spring reverb units. These are now discontinued, but on the used market sell separately in the $300 range.
