PayPalThis Bassman '59 reissue is a wonderful tube amp with classic Fender clean tones (just ask Mike Campbell, Buddy Guy, Josh Homme, Brian Setzer). After 25+ years, I'm only selling it because I've downsized to a smaller Princeton. It has some cosmetic dings and scratches on the tweed. Replaced the tubes a while back, but the amp is probably due for a general tuneup.
You have questions:
**"Does it take pedals?"**Dude, it is to taking pedals what Keith Richards is to taking drugs—it’s classic, takes every last one with style and gusto, and will more than likely outlive us all.
**"Is it loud?"**Huh? I can’t hear you. Just thinking about the loudness of this Bassman can erase entire frequencies from your hearing.
**"Does it go to 11?"**Just 10. (There are other memorable lines of dialogue in Spinal Tap, FWIW.)
**"Can I play a bass through it?"**Here’s a noncomprehensive list of other things you could play through this Bassman: basses, men, electric guitars, keyboards, vocals, record players, keytars, your mom, 14 kazoos (don’t try 15; just trust me on this one), celery stalks, toms that all the hipster 00's bands used to have their non-drummers play, gated flatulence, knick-knack (but not paddywhack), witch doctor shrunken skulls, and one time my 12-year old played a 2-hour Mario Kart sesh on the Nintendo Switch while sitting on this very Bassman. So, yeah, pretty versatile rig, bro. I've mostly played a Rickenbacker and Telecaster through it, though.
"What’s its pedigree?" I picked it up from Vintage Rockers on State Street in 1999. From there, it played all kinds of terrible gigs, from parties at the U’s Beta Theta Pi house to a weekly residency at the now shuttered Grizzly Bar to the Post Theater and the odd summer concert series, from all manner of track home basement rehearsals to my front door, where it created loud and pseudo-spooky amateur psychedelic mood music for trick-or-treaters on Halloween.
**"Do you take trades? Let's haggle, Marvelous Marvin!"**I will only trade your $850 in real life for my loud, bell-clear, mother of an amp. But, by all means, go ahead and employ all the negotiating wisdom you gleaned from your The Art of the Deal book on tape.
**"But that’s not a trade."**Actually it totally is. Cash for goods. It’s just not me accepting an unholy gumbo of your unwanteds—some janky Ibanez pedal, a patch cable that looks like a climbing rope, a half-used bottle of Satch (Joe Satriani’s exclusive hair club re-growing elixir, pre-bankruptcy), an unused ticket to Cavalia, an opened bag of elk jerky. With money, I can buy what I want, not inherit what you don’t.
**"You don’t have to be a jerk about it."**That’s just, like, your opinion, man. Also, not a question.
**"Can I try it out?"**Of course. I'm not trying to get your money and then send you a cardboard box with the word "Base, man" scribbled on it.
