NAD!!!! 1967 Fender Bassman

[ewill52]

This has been one of my bucket-list amps for a long time. It's a legendary amp. This one is all original (minus the 3-prong chord and a recap), and extremely clean for a 60 year old amp.

Crazy versatile, loud, and unbelievably responsive to different pickups, guitars, and the volume knob is like an overdrive pedal. What an amp!!!!

 

[japetus]

HELL YES! This is the way.

Some of the best tone I got with a band was cranked Bassman hit with a tube screamer.
Its so good, just so damn loud.

This is a SG thru a Bassman, hit with a TS, into a Suhr Reactive Load with a Marshall 4x12 GB IR, normal channel, cranked about halfway, Phase 90 on the lead part:

 

[Monkey Man]

Congrats!

Great amps. Everyone should at some point score a vintage Bassman.

I had a '64 or '65 Bassman a long time ago. It was basically my first real tube amp.

Yeah man, the BF/early SF Bassman is a beast. Kick myself in the ass for selling it sometimes, until I play one again and my ears ring.

Absolutely sick. This clip has me questioning my life choices.

And to think you used to be able to get these for around $200 and often less for a quite a few years. Granted 30 years ago but even then I couldn’t figure why they were so cheap, because they ripped.

 

[Robostyle]

Sick! Congratulations

Yeah man. Cranking an old Bassman hits hard. There's a reason many of the best guitarists used one.
Duane Allman, Buddy Guy, SRV, Gibbons, Hendrix (voodoo chile), Mike Ness, Setzer, McCartney/Beatles, Cantrell, McCready, Cobain, Petty/Campbell, Felder (HFO tour), Brent Mason, Black Crowes, Stones...
Who knows how many albums.

Tweed, bf, sf...they're all good.
Check this Segeborn clip showing em in all their glory:


Segeborn again, just the bf, Killer Rock Tones:


He has a few more clips with different models. The Bassman always sounds damn good. But, loud af.
Shoot, I should sell a couple amps, grab one and a reactive load reamper.
I remember one day I was rehearsing with a band, and my Shiva popped a fuse. Plugged into my bass player's drip edge Bassman and hit it with a TS.
Promptly sold the Shiva and bought a Bassman. RCA tubes, brown turd caps n all. Should kept it!!!!

Vintage warmth and girth bro'.

Vintage warmth and girth bro'.

Girth and punch. Not for the faint of heart.
They're barely working until you get to 2 on the volume dial. Then they're a LOUD, girthy clean. At 2! Not a bedroom amp. Up around 5 on the dial, like dialing a Marshall 1987 at noon, they're banging. Kind of loose and unruly. Hit that TS, or any middy od/eq, they tighten up and punch right thru the mix. Unwieldy beast, with tons of dynamics, that go clean to roaring with just your picking hand.
