@@Kleyguy7 Hi, things change with age on the circuit board for example the values of the resistors and diodes drift and capacitors get changed as they go bad which alters the sound. The speaker’s with the 60 + years of break in change if they’re original but they could of been reconed or replaced which drastically changes the sound. Bassman amps are know for the resonance of their pine cabinets which is part of their sound and wood dries with time making it lighter changing it’s sound. Hope this helps.
I mean, you are getting some room reverb as part of the sounds in this clip. If you were at home practicing in a smaller room and at a lower volume, you would probably want some reverb.
@@mikebeltrandi2580 I did say Tele and strats...I got 36 guitars...I have yet to have a guitar not sound good through it. 4x10s just seem to take anything pretty good
@@aaronbrown0417 I know which guitars you mentioned. It's great that you found somethings that works for you. It depends on what you play, style-wise, pedal wise, etc.
A question: I own a September 1959 5F6-A. To the best of my knowledge, it has not been "monkeyed" with, apart from my own restoration efforts. The Presence control operates opposite to what most would expect. Turn it clockwise/"up" and there is LESS treble bite. Insomuch as the frequent objective at the time was to get a louder but CLEAN tone, Presence controls could be thought of as intended to provide *more* negative feedback, when needed. So, does that 1958 get *brighter* as the Presence is turned up, or darker? I'd like to know if my amp, and understanding, is correct.
@@liberioescriba6158 I have a 6g6B and while it matches the deepest bass frequencies with ease it lacks the thunder of a modern bass cab. Its amazing for an instrument like the Hohner D6 Clavinet that has guitar and bass strings running through a humbucker.
The reissues do have the correct circuit - it's just not hand wired. For 1/10th the price- the reissues sound just fine- especially with a band. No way you could tell the difference. This amp sounds glorious- so does my reissue.
Actually the Tweed Bassman LTD is probably the best reissue Fender does. Some NOS 5881s and a NOS AY7 in V1 helps a lot. Those new Jensens can sound fine after a very long amount of break in
No modelers gonna get real tone. Only the sorta kinda sound. They also dont respond to the attack the same either. None ive tried and i checked alot out at namm show in jan.
Absolutely glorious, especially with the natural room reverb.
I could listen to this guy play all day!
Sounds awesome. This is the sound of rock and roll!
Fantastic tone, touch and playing. Well done!
Awesome playing and amp sounds lively.
That sounds gorgeous
Thank you, we agree!
Wow killer playing
very alive tone , love it ...
Normal channel with a strat is where it's at with this amp..
That's right!
great tone !
First note and yeah pure beauty.
just brought a 56 Harvard bk to life still has orig tubes n sounds AWSM just needed filter caps! These years are INCREDIBLE!
I’ve had a 57 Harvard for years. Magic.
Sounds insane
Love the patina on the Bassman.
A lot of comments about the reissues not sounding like this but you’ve got to realize that this amp didn’t sound like this in 1958.
Hi, do you want to explain why this amp didn’t sound like this in 1958?

@@laurencemiltonbell6951 yeah, thank you for such a detailed response! I will take that into account from now on.
@@laurencemiltonbell6951 This amp didn’t have a circuit board, they hand wired them back then, but your point is correct.
@@mretrain You are correct. Fender used eyelet boards back then.
The Bassmam the best all around the king
That's what started the Marshall...!? It's all in the circuit.
Fantastic.
that sound !
What a tone machine.! Who needs reverb when the tone coming from the amp sounds like that.

damn that sounds good
There's just no better sounding amp for fender teles n strats
True!
maybe an old JTM45 - which is a clone of this amp^^
Depends on what you play.

And behind is Fender frontman 10 g. Let's play something on it !
dude, straight up anthologic.
The speakers look trippy through this camera
Sweet
Rock n’ Roll machine

Crank it !!!!!!
Обалдеть!
If I had money that amp is mine
At this store, you can spend $79 on a frontman or $16000 on a 59 bassman
Now pick up that Squier CV 50 behind and to the left of the Bassman and let's see how that sounds.
Like the guitar. What year is it?
2015
Give my reissue 15 more yrs
I don't know. It definitely helps having a vintage style circuit.
Something different than the reissue's
The reissues do not sound right to me. Not dynamic enough. Sterile and boring.
The real deal!
Why do they call it a Bassman? Was it originally for a bass guitar?
Yeah.
it was designed to pair with the precision bass

I'm just going to say this. No reissue can come close to this. You have to have the correct circuit.

@@yjmsrv I have never heard a reissue of any amp that sounds good. They cut corners and don't use the correct parts.
@@nathanadkins4696 Leo Fender got whatever parts he could get for a good deal when making the originals. He was a business man first.
Nice playing! What is the name of melody played at 3:00?
12 Bar blues
Kinda sounds like empty arms by stevie ray vaughan
Sounds like Mike Mcready
You make a fine nose there pardnor!
A.B. Normal channel.
What are your settings at ?
The amps up at #11😂😂😂😂😂
If the amp and the guitar would be new, I think most people would say these sound like crap.
Kudos... that right there is the s#%t.
Bliss.

None ive tried and i checked alot out at namm show in jan.
less wammy better, cool old gear to collect, but new gear is nicer
Nothing else needed
Why E♭?
Unremarcable
