1965 Fender Bassman Head and Cabinet

DESCRIPTION

Fantastic tones from an iconic amp. These were Jim Marshall (of Marshall Amplifiers) other line very similar to Marshall amps of the same era. Has the ability for very clear, powerful clean tones and lush crunch tones at higher volumes. Using a small jumper cable between channel 1/2 gives a much wider variety of tones and control. Very similar in sound and design to a 1966 Marshall JTM45. Extremely well made hand wired amp that has stood the test of time, with a long future ahead of it!
