350w tweed combo[/font][/size][/b]

This amp has been my main playing amp for a few years, and most of the relic wear is genuine road wear.

Huge sound, very loud, as you'd expect. Vintage tones. If you want a vintage style look, with modern reliability and features, in a compact combo, with plenty of headroom, then you wont get any better than this. I still dont understand why Fender only made these briefly?


Not keen on posting, so collection only initially, trial welcome. Midlands based, so in the middle of everywhere!

These are rare anywhere, especially in the UK, the only other I've seen is over £1300:

Grab a bargain!


Here's the spec, the pics tell the rest.

By the way, the '52 TV bassman in the pic, is just to show the size of it.

[center][font=comic sans ms,cursive][size=4][b]Fender's Bassman TV series carries the DNA of the original '50s-era Bassman amplifiers, delivering world-class sound in a package designed to handle the demands of low bass frequencies. With a unique look that is unmistakably Fender, Bassman TV amps are sure to class up any stage, cutting through the mix and the monotony of a world full of black boxes. [/b][/size][/font][/center]

[center][font=comic sans ms,cursive][size=4][color=#000000][b]The tube preamp is classy and simple, with black chicken head knobs sitting on top of a chrome chassis. It feels like looking down at the dashboard of your favorite muscle car, while the red jewel light glows, signifying "I'm ready to jam." Two instrument inputs provide both a normal and a padded input stage, accommodating basses of various output levels. But don't be afraid to lean into it. The more you push this Fender bass amp, the more it pushes back.[/b][/color][/size][/font][/center]

BC: How to post pics ...

Using the BBCode link supplied by an external photo account such as Flickr, Imgur or Imgbb is a good idea; the photos are better presented and it uses no BC server space. I use Imgur (it's free...); here's what it looks like (the correct link for Basschat is in green...) ...



Others are similar (assuming use of a PC; I no nothing of other devices...). Hope this helps...

What can I say, it doesn't work, it says its not supported? The link options quoted on the basschat help page aren't there any more, so they said to use the direct link, which I tried.
It seems I'm not alone though. There was a time when every post had pics, now its probably 20%.

That's how i used to do it, those links aren't visible anymore, it just has one copy link, and it doesn't work, it isn't even visible. If i could post pics, I'd show you the screen I have, and yes, I'm using a PC.
Appreciate the help, but only basschat seems to have this complex way of posting pics.

Seems you have to right click the picture on imgur now, for the links drop box to appear. It was always as the screen shot shown above, now you have to guess yourself where everything is. Think they call it progress or improvement....

OK. Sorry you're having problems, but I've nothing more to suggest. I've not come across this before; maybe tomorrow I'll be the one unable to post..! I'll see what the other Mods have to say. Anyone else having difficulties..? :unsure:

Wow, that really looks the part!
PS: I use CubeUpload for pics since PhotoBucket went tits-up, it's really simple:

Thanks Mark, sounds easier, will give it a look.

Appreciate the help!

Hopefully the pics are visible now?

£395. I changed the price using full editor, but it hasn't appeared. Apologies.

Once the initial price is set it can't be changed. It's a good idea to put the price drop in the title and prominently at the top of the OP.

As above; the '[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Price or Trade Value : £450' is set by the System, and cannot be edited. Putting the current price in the title, and at the top of your first post, is best.[/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Good luck with the sale.[/font][/color]

Thanks for the update. Very very tempting...
[/quote]

You're welcome.

I'm selling a few things at the moment, and the first one that sells will mean the rest are withdrawn, so don't dally.

This is a grand cheaper than the only other one for sale anywhere, and if i didn't need some quick readies, it would be double this price. This is a crazy price for an extraordinary, and rarely seen amp.

PM me, as I may be able to reduce a tad more for a quick sale.

I had the TV15 version of this amp. Such a beautiful thing. I remember when the tweed it got it's first blemish, I was heartbroken.

But I'm looking at your roadworn version and I'm thinking, hmmmm that amps looks like it's got character.

I like it :)

By the way people, these amps were about £700 new. So this is a good deal.
