All user reviews of 4/5 for the Fender Vintage Reissue '59 Bassman LTD

All lamps already described elsewhere. Bought mine new in 2006 has a lamp rectification 5AR4. The earliest versions were corrected in solid state.

UTILIZATION

config arch-simple. The pot is only active presence on the bright channel.
Lampli can be used to the former two channels being interactive. Super!
To start sculpting your sound:

enter the normal guitar input on channel 1. bridge with input 2 input 1 channel bright.

Set the channel 1 vol 3-4 (below 2.5 sound is flat). Put all the eq on the environment. To the presence of 3. to channel 2 on the flight 2.5-3.5 (never above the normal channel flight because the sound becomes too aggressive for my taste, low invasive and treble screaming, see below). The bright channel is used to give presence to the normal channel which is fabulous warmth and roundness but a little bland for my taste.

The manual is simplistic, but there is no need.

SOUNDS

I play blues-rock and jazz perfect for my style. For sounds, one, see above settings. This gives a round, well-defined hot but not very distinctive Fender lens as the super reverb, plus medium. This amp is for crunch deem beautiful. This is the legend and here's why. To do cruncher must be mounted to 5 min. Crunch and the guy but the bass is invasive even if we fall 3. Treble become super aggressive. The guitar is so completely unbalanced, there are more than medium.
All outdoor way except you do not go past 3-4. and in this area it is perfect. So, as all my amps I go in front of with pedaltone Koch. The best tube preamp for guitar (see my review). And there's the serious fact.

OVERALL OPINION

My main amp since 2006. I just separate. It will be to rewire the old by purists who will give him a second life worthy of his ancestor.

The Fender Bassman '59 LTD is the company's reissue of the amp the was originally designed in 1952 to suit their very new Precision Bass guitar. Eventually bass players found that the amp was not really suited to their application as it would distort and break up too early. However, the blues and country guitarists of the day really loved that factor and started to incorporate their broken up tones into rock music. Eventually a fella named Jim Marshall over in England heard the Bassman and the rest, as we know it, is history. The '59 Bassman is a tweed style with 4 10" Jensens. It puts out 45 watts of power (6V6s) and has two channels (normal and bright) each with their own volume control. They share a standard EQ of bass, middle, treble and presence. No reverb or effects on this one... just pure tone.

UTILIZATION

Getting a good sound out of this amp is pretty simple. It's unlike the blackface reissues in that it's designed to get a little more of an overdriven break up early on, and the overall tone is darker, thicker and fuzzier. It still has a bit of classic chime there, but not near the amounts of the Fender blackface amps. That being said, the EQ works as you would expect and it's definitely a simple amp to dial in. The addition of a presence control to the circuit is nice to get a bit of high end that the treble control may not give you. Definitely cool.

SOUNDS

The Fender '59 LTD Bassman is definitely a slightly different beast. It's more suited to the slightly raunchier blues and rock n' roll styles where perhaps hotter pickups like P90s and humbuckers are being used to push the amp a bit harder. The tones are excellent for those styles, and if you hit with some sort of overdrive you can get some great classic and even early hard rock tones if you're skilled at tone tweaking. It's a nice departure from the cleaner than clean blackface Fenders that we all know and love. That being said, despite the amp's darker and thicker tonal nature, it's still quite clear and defined even at higher volumes which is excellent.

OVERALL OPINION

All in all I think the Fender Bassman reissue is a great buy for anyone who likes Fender amps and wants something with a little bit more grit fresh out of the box. It's definitely got its own sound and its easy to see why Marshall took inspiration from this original amp for their first designs. This reissue runs about $1,450 new which is a good deal considering the quality and tone of Fender amps overall. Definitely worth checking out for sure!

First of all: I do not possde, I did system tries to store for 1 / 2 hour break everything. So voila.

This is a tweed Fender Bassman rdition of 1959. So really you type in the vintage. This amp was used as a MODEL in the first Marshall.

All lamps,
50 W
4 between two normal and two bright, you can connect through a jack supplmentaire.
No reverb or master.
A single channel, tri-band equalizer.
Ah, yes, four 10-inch HP Jensen.

UTILIZATION

The setup is really super simple, and sounds right away. I have not seen the manual.
No master, so to saturate, well, 'should turn up the volume. 50W and it's really hard.
Quite bulky, but not really heavy.

SOUNDS

Yes, it is my style.

The sound is impressive. I find it sounds more than others crmeux Fender Twin like. The level of overdrive is also important, but you have to think a attnuateur ...

Grain level, in a sense the sound is rich and crmeux, but it also has a small ct "rough", "rc h", which makes it really hard. But when it is, if prs rest of the amp, the days of our ears are numbered. Ct DEFINITIONS sound, anything.

I tried it with a Start and an LP Southwestern, in both cases it provides. It is true that a lot of personality.

Trs not versatile, but it is excellently its register.

OVERALL OPINION

As I said above, I only try.
The only thing I like about this amp, besides the look, the sound. But really, great sound. Hlas but difficult to use full potential in the conditions under which I usually play (at home, and concerts in small venues, so difficult to take advantage of the natural overdrive, unless you use an att attenuator).

Its default sr are the default of any vintage amp, that may give benefits (partly justifiably) angry with this kind of hardware.
