Custom Blonde Fender Bassman 20 Head

Post by HNB » Fri May 24, 2024 3:55 pm

I got this from redchapterjubilee and I really dig it. It was converted from the normal combo to a small blonde head. Super cute looking on a normal size head. It has really responsive controls. I like that you get a three band EQ with it. That is pretty much all I really need most of the time. I don't often use tremolo or reverb so it is simple and seems well made. :) I tried it though Vox Alnico Blue speakers and it was pretty bright. I am sure that is the speakers though because it makes everything bright. I need to try it through some V30's or something.

Nice!
I didn‘t even know a 20W Bassman existed.

That's so cool

I've wanted a Bassman 20 for a while but they are seemingly non-existent in the UK. I don't think they have much in common specifically with the other Bassmans but obviously has a lot of standard Fender amp DNA. I have heard they are good for guitar though.

Nice score
Silly Rabbit, don't you know scooped mids are for kids?

What a great little amp. It's got everything you need and nothing you don't .
I'm partial to a 2 x 10 cabinet myself.

This is so cool. I totally wanted it, but was already sold to you when I asked. Glad it went to such a great person ;D although please can I have permission to remain jealous?

What’s the headroom like on it?
I have nothing to offer anybody, except my own confusion?

It actually breaks up pretty early if you are using humbuckers. You don't have to go deaf which is nice. :D

Pull the mids down and it will give you more headroom with humbuckers.
