Fender ’59 Bassman LTD: two versatile channels

The ’59 Bassman has two channels, Normal and Bright, the latter of which boosts high frequencies for a fiercer and clearer sound. Both channels have their own volume control and two separate inputs. You can use input 1 if you want an early distortion or input 2 (-6dB) for a clean sound. The tone controls are simple yet effective. A 3-band EQ consists of Treble, Bass and Middle plus a Presence control for adding extra sparkle to the sound. Like every tube amplifier, the ’59 Bassman has an on/off switch and a stand by knob for cooling or pre-heating the tubes.

Dynamic and ideal for additional effects

At the heart of the ’59 Bassman we find three 12AX7 preamp tubes and two 6L6 amp tubes that give this amplifier its iconic warm sound with a nicely distorted edge at higher volumes. These tubes are also loved for their dynamic qualities. They make them react to every nuance in your style produce different sounds depending on how hard you pick the strings. The user-friendly ’59 Bassman makes for an excellent combination with stomp box effects, making it the ideal amplifier with which to create your own ultimate guitar sound.
