New Fender '59 Bassman® LTD!
The Fender® Bassman amplifier of the 1950's evolved as the pro bassist's
answer to amplifying a great new invention: the Fender Precision Bass®.
This powerful 50-watt rig could easily compete along with the common instrumentation
of the day: horns, piano, four-piece drum kit with calfskin heads, and maybe
even an electric guitarist with a nice, new 10-watt amp! By the '60s and '70s,
the original all-tube "Tweed" 4x10 Bassman gained popularity with
rock, country and blues guitarists as a great-sounding, reliable, easy to use
guitar amp. Even some emerging British amp designers opf the day copied its
circuitry for use in their most celebrated designs.
In the 1990's, Fender released an affordable reissue of the now collectible
'59 Bassman amplifier to massive acclaim. Many guitarists tired of experimenting
with preamps, equalizers and effects racks rediscovered the simple pleasure
of plugging into a Fender tube amp and rocking. The Bassman amp's wide stage
coverage, touch-sensitive dynamics, and full-frequency "swirl" make
it the perfect vehicle for building a great tone with almost any guitar or
effect pedal hooked into it. The Reissue Bassman continues to be a staple of
the Fender guitar amp line to this day.
