Description: What can you say about a classic that hasn’t already been said? Alright, I’ll try anyway. The “black panel” Bassman is about as close to a “do it all” amp (and does it all fantastically) as you could ever hope for. It’s a 1960s Fender so you know the clean is articulate, rich and three dimensional-sounding. Crank it up and lean in to it and you’ll be rewarded with some truly legendary overdriven tones..punchy, responsive and articulate still. It’s also a terrific pedal platform and oh yeah, it’s also a wonderful (if not a little-underpowered by today’s live standards) bass amp as well. You really can’t lose with a 1960s Bassman.
