This is an extremely rare 1957 Fender Tweed Bassman, 5F6 circuit. This amp is on excellent 9/10 condition and impossible to find in this original state. The only changes are the filter caps, and the addition of a 3 prong cord, everything else is original, even the Victoria luggage works cloth cover. Transformers, capacitors, speakers & cones are all original. The amp plays beautifully, has a strong clean sound and overdrives gloriously as you turn it up and bridge the channels. This is a commission sale.  This Bassman is so original that we decided to sell this in its current extremely original condition and resist the temptation to replace known worn parts!
