Vintage 1966 Fender Basseman Amplifier - 2x12 piggyback stack in great condition.
Amp is clean with only a few cosmetic flaws--and it's all original.
I have owned this amp since 1970 and it has been stored most of the time.
It is fully functional and sounds awesome.

Blackface Basseman have a well-deserved reputation as true workhorse amps.
They have a big, neutral clean tone that make them a perfect choice for players that use a lot of pedals.
In the 1964 Fender catalog, the Fender Bassman is described as follows:
FENDER BASSMAN AMP The "Piggy-back" Bassman Amplifier incorporates two enclosed speakers with a separate amplifier chassis unit.
The use of the enclosed 12" Heavy-Duty Custom Design Speakers with their special design baffles make the Bassman distortion-free, allowing the player to use his full bass notes and ample volume.
Another new Bassman feature is the incorporation of dual channels: one a Bass channel, and the other Normal which may be used with guitar, or other instruments.
2-12" heavy duty speakers.
