blueslespaultone Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 i just bought a fender 59 bassman, plugged in my strats and lespaul to this, and oh man. sweet. i purchased on clearance... 699.00, its in nearly mint condition from gc. had been eyeing this amp about 2-3 yrs ago. i tested it, works perfectly. i couldnt convince the wife to let me spend 1300, much less 1700 on this amp. i have a 4 guitars, 4 amps. one now tube amp... i was wondering, do any of you have this amp? i love it for the kind of music we play, rock blues, rock, and da blues. for heavier stuff, my friend plays his lespaul and marshall hs 410. disgusting amp. like i said earlier, wife would kill me spending 3 GS on an amp. i am saving some cash for a jcm 2000 dsl, though. later though...

tazzboy Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I have the older version of the Bassman RI with Eminence Alnico Speaker and it's really good amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZOSO1215 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I have a '79 Bassman head, Sounds amazing, but I let the guitarist/lead singer in my band use it (I play bass), so I haven't gotten to play it/try out different guitars through it that much. But I have been sticking to my AC30CCH lately, and just brought a JCM2000 601 TSL down to my place at school. I need to get an A/B switch so I can get the dark stuff out of the Marshall and the brighter stuff out of the Vox...Excellent set up IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crossroadsnyc Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Bassman is a great amp, and it sounds like you got a terrific deal. Now you just have to talk w/the wife about bringing home a new Marshall (hint: presents help!) edit: I forgot to mention what I play through ... a Marshall Vintage Modern & a Marshall 1974x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie brown Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Fender (Blues Junior, HR Deluxe, or Twin Reverb), mostly. Used to (in my mispent youth) run a Gibby LP Custom, into a Marshall "Major" (200 tube watt) Full Stack. Pretty insane volume, and great tone...but, I simply couldn't use it, that often...too loud. Congrats, on the "Bassman" purchase! I'm sure you'll Love it! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Dave Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 That's a great amp. I'm using a Twin Reverb and pedals for effects. I was looking at a Bassman on Craigslist and thinking about building myself a cab with a 15" Jensen to go with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Witmer Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Congratulations - I love Fender amps! If I get a second amp, it will be a Fender. But I use and will never sell my Mesa Boogie DC. It is a warmer amp, especially compared to a VOX, but that works out well for me. I long ago went to a Boss GT multi-effects unit, which saved money, reduced the number of times I stepped on the suck pedal, and provides pretty much every effect I've ever wanted to use. The Mesa's warmth smooths out completely (to my ears) any digital brittleness from the effects. I also like the Mesa well enough that I *could* be one of those 1-cable guys who just plugs into the amp, if I didn't need a tuner. But once you've got one pedal on the floor, in for a penny...

steve167 Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 The Astroverb is the last toy I get for a while... I swear!!! Got a great crunch and is a little easier to reign in for lower volume playing than my Orange Rocker 30 combo. I thoroughly enjoy both though and each has its own type of overdrive sound -- exactly what I was going for. The Soldano is a little nicer for blues, too, and way easy to get some bright spanky tones out of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
