1969 Fender Super Bassman

[Genericmusic]

I pick this up a couple weeks ago. I plugged it in to see if she was working and she smoked. I was afraid I'd ruined her but the problem was minor and pocket change in repair cost. She is up and running. What a big surprise. 100 Watts (RMS) of vintage Fender sound. Much like a twin without the reverb and of course the speakers.

Nice snatch, as they say

Woah!

 

What speakers are you driving with that?

[bolero]

wow never heard of one of those before!

 

pretty neat!

I bet that thing will rock the house with either a bass or guitar. Maybe both at the same time!!

I tested her out with a Carvin 1X12. I don't have a cabinet for her, I'm thinking of selling her.

Two channels, one for bass labeled as bass and the other for guitar labeled as normal. The guitar channel has a bright switch and three controls; treble,. middle, and bass. Believe it or not the gain comes out of the the bass control. She quite a beast to tame.

Any chance of a gut-shot?

I've to put it her in a music consignment shop. If she doesn't sell in a month I'll pull her out and post a gut shop.

Man! Who wouldn't want that beast! I've only a bill in my gear fund so I won't even ask what you've got it up for! Haha
