1969 Fender Bassman-Amp Silverface AB165 Hot Rodded #59955

Availability: In stock

$995.00

Details

WORKING CONDITION: Very Good- All controls and switches work nicely. The current owner had the amp modded in 2012 by the house tech at Mesa Boogie Hollywood. The mod adds gain on the normal channel. It breaks up pretty early in the volume control and gets high-gain rock above 6 or so and will peel the paint off the walls. It sounds incredible. Low noise and high gain; the mod was done well. The Bass channel sounds a little gainy to us also; it starts to break up around 4-5 and will get pretty saturated after that. We tested it with a guitar with a single humbucker. The amp overall works great in all areas. 

PHYSICAL CONDITION:
 Good- shows lots of wear, use, and age from its days in the live circuit. Metal parts are oxidized and/or scratched up. Has "Dr Jon Sound" stenciled on the top of it. The chassis and box are straight and still in good, solid condition with no issues. It remains a true workhorse and ready for more gigs or studio sessions. 

Power Transformer and output transformer and choke are all original and date to 1969.
