FEELER: Fender Bassman 135 - £400 *SOLD*

[Jigster]

The time may have come to move this on, but right now just a FEELER for interest in this vintage Fender Bassman 135.

Bought from Umcoo on this very forum - it's a 1980 model, runs at 4ohms, and currently has four EHX 6L6s in the power valve dept, and 3 EHX in the pre-amp - two 12AX7s and an 12AT7.

Considering its age, I've had no issues with it.

The amp has that wonderful richness of tone you find in valves, can be played clean or, as seen in the pic, patched [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]to run both sides of the pre-amp valves, for extra grit, and punch.[/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]This first pic is courtesy of Umcoo but I can provide more pics for any interested BCers.[/font][/color]

Im being a twat, I actually ment Bassman 70, not Vassman 70, thanks for the info though, I shall give it a try!

[Jigster]

ah, that makes sense now!

Stunning amp...loved it when it was mine. It really roared when you pushed it, but had that great creamy bassy sound. This used to be vegas_hooker's (on here) amp before I got it, so it has a fairly long BC history. Good luck with the sale Jig!
