Vintage Fender Bassman 135 Head £650 possible trades £950

[Ghost Rider]

Here is my Fender Bassman 135 head. Price is £650 will consider trades but cash is king! 

The 215 cab is now SOLD

The serial number indicates the head was made in 1980 & after doing some research the 135 heads were made between 1977-1983.

The speakers are JBL & I believe they are original.

I'm in tyne & wear

I'm a huge sucker and fan of the Silver Face Bassman gear. This 2x15 is a great compromise for a full vintage sounds yet still really quite compact. Bargain too, the 135 is a very loud amp and capable of any gigging situation.

Out of interest, what's the red selector on the back of the head please?

I've this link for you Mr Thor.

I believe something to do with voltage depending on which country your using the bassman.

Thank you - very insightful - I wondered if it may be something like that.

GLWTS - I do(n't) need this

Cheers! It is a great set up but I fancy a change... As usual GAS has got the better of me... AGAIN

Glenn Matlock had something similar on stage with him at the LBGS

Tynemouth, North Tyneside but I could ship it or you could arrange your own collection.

[Thunderbird]

I would love this rig but am skint but Anth is a great fella to deal with

[mojobass]

Great sounding set up this and top bloke to deal with GLWS

[kuras]

D140's are the bomb! Great rig.

Can't believe you're considering offers TBH - this is a steal at this price - one on Gumtree recently for £1300 IIRC. Rock players should be all over this - their loss I suppose.

Cheers mate! Yeah, I'm surprised myself its loud as hell & has a lovely tone to it. I'm only selling it as I really fancy an Ampeg B15.

[TheGreek]

I had the 100w version of this way back when - I paid £100 back in the late 80s - maybe I should have kept hold of it (TBH I can't remember who I sold it to) - see them changing hands for sensible money - good bit of kit for your cash.
