Vintage 1966 Fender Basseman Blackface Amplifier Head and2x12 speaker Cabinet –piggyback stack in great condition. Amp is clean with only a few cosmetic flaws--and it's all original. I have owned this amp since1970 and it has been used very little and stored most of the time. It is fully functional and sounds awesome.

Overall a super nice amp from the 60’s. Great collector piece.

Blackface Basseman have a well-deserved reputation as true workhorse amps. The have a big, neutral clean tone that make them a perfect choice for players that use a lot of pedals.
In the 1964 Fender catalog, the Fender Bassman is described as follows:
FENDER BASSMAN AMP The "Piggy-back" Bassman Amplifier incorporates two enclosed speakers with a separate amplifier chassis unit. The use of the enclosed 12" Heavy-Duty Custom Design Speakers with their special design baffles makes the Bassman distortion-free, allowing the player to use his full bass notes and ample volume. Another new Bassman feature is the incorporation of dual channels: one a Bass channel, and the other Normal which may be used with guitar, or other instruments. 2-12" heavy duty speakers.
