Classic Marshall Bass 12 combo amp, on a Y serial number so produced in 1990. Full working order with a few battle scars (pictured), but all in all not bad for a 34 year old amp. Still with the original and highly regarded Celestion G10L-35 speaker, the amp is all original apart from the potentiometer knobs which look to be relatively new, these weren't changed during my ownership. Pots are quite stiff, no crackling etc but could use some deoxit to clean them up, never really bothered me as there was no noise or loss of function.


The Bass 12 is the sibling of the legendary Lead 12, but I believe has one less gain stage so has more of a crunchy tone rather than overdriven like the Lead 12 (when using a normal guitar). Imagine a solid state version of a JTM 45, with the Lead 12 being the SS equivalent of a JCM 800.


Only selling as this just isn't getting used anymore, I already have a Lead 12 alongside my main rig, so it literally isn't needed anymore.


Collection from Leicester LE9, or local delivery can be arranged in the Leicestershire area. Thanks for your interest.
