Description

This Fender Bassman is in good condition for it's age, with a bit of wear that gives character to it's Tweed look. Internally, it's had the power cord and electrolytic caps changed, along with all Astron coupling caps changed out for modern Jupiter types. The bias section has been updated with a floating trimpot, to make the bias adjustable. The two screen grid resistors have been changed, but all original carbon comps from the preamp still remain. One pot has been changed, but the rest are original. One speaker cable pigtail has also been replaced.
