Notes	The Fender Bassman is pinnacle of 60's American classic rock tone. From the beginning Bassman's always shared DNA with Marshall amps, and this one can easily keep up with any JTM45 from the era. This amp is mostly original, and has changed preamp electrolytic caps, along with a few resistors. 3 coupling caps have been changed, but the tone stacks still retained their original Blue Molded Ajax caps. Other than that three tube sockets have been changed, along with the power cord.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
