Fender Bassman Reissue Combo (PtP Wired) - USA 1992

Here is a Fender ’59 Bassman reissue amplifier, a modern tribute to one of the most important and influential guitar amplifiers ever created. Originally introduced as a 4x10” bass amplifier, the Bassman quickly became a favourite among guitarists who discovered its rich harmonic response, natural compression, and powerful full-range tone. For over half a century, it has remained a benchmark for pure, uncoloured tube amplification, valued for its simplicity, reliability, and unmistakable Fender character.

The design of the ’59 Bassman reissue continues the legacy of the original tweed-era circuit, offering wide stage coverage, highly responsive touch dynamics, and a full-frequency tonal profile that works beautifully with both guitars and effects pedals. Its straightforward control layout and plug-and-play nature make it an enduring choice for players who prefer an intuitive, musical amplifier that responds directly to playing feel.

Throughout the ’60s and ’70s, the original all-tube tweed Bassman became a go-to amplifier for rock, country, and blues musicians, praised for its consistent performance and expressive tone. The ’90s reissue period reintroduced this classic design to a new generation, with many players moving away from complex rack systems in favour of the simplicity and organic response of a traditional Fender tube amp.

This 1992 example is in excellent condition and is fitted with 4 x Eminence “Blue Frame” Alnico 10” speakers, contributing to its articulate voice, strong projection, and dynamic response. It also features point-to-point wiring completed by respected amp technician Geoff Williamson in Melbourne, further enhancing its build quality and tonal integrity.
