I’ve pretty much always used Fender Bassman amps. I started out with a Twin Reverb, but it died, and after I got it fixed it never sounded the same. I’ve had many Bassmans over the years—that’s the one for me.

"I lost EVERYTHING – five guitars (two of which weren’t mine which I was to sell for a friend PLUS the first guitar my father bought for me when i was 15), a ‘64 blackface Bassman head, a 2×12 cabinet with new MojoTone speakers, my pedalboard, and an expensive pinstripe suit & wingtip shoes."

"In the studio, we tended to use amp distortion rather than pedals, so for cleans we had a Fender Bassman and then for drives we stacked some Dual Rectifiers with the Marshall with the gain whacked right up. The main amp we used though was a Bogner (I forget which model), but that sounded great."

Pure tube tone

1969 Bassman bought in 1982 for $100. The pure Fender tube tone still sounds outstanding. Using this for all live gigs.
