Brian Setzer's Amplifiers
At 12:55 in this Rig Rundown, Brian Setzer’s guitar tech, Tyler Sweet, discusses the Fender Bassman Amps. “They range from 1961-63 era. They're all brown face, all 6G6B's. Incredible amp. Everybody’s in search of them these days.”
The SWR Megoliath 8x10 Bass Cabinet was owned by musician Brian Setzer, as confirmed by a listing on reverb.com. The cabinet shows signs of wear, including scuffs and scratches, and is missing a wheel, which affects its portability. Despite these issues, the cabinet remains functional and produces excellent sound quality.

This Eden 4x10 Bass Cab was owned by Brian Setzer
Brian Setzer is confirmed to have used the Ampeg SVT-410HLF Classic Series Bass Cabinet, as evidenced by its listing on Reverb.com. The cabinet, which bears noticeable cosmetic wear such as ripped tolex, imperfect grill cloth attachment, and bent metal corner protectors, still functions properly despite these issues.

This Fender Twin-Amp was owned by Brian Setzer
The tolex is in overall really great condition other than some very minor dirt here and there. The grill cloth has one very small tear at the top as well as a few loose threads here and there, but almost non noticeable. The left side of the cabinet (facing the amp) has a small dent of the wood, likely from being bumped by something. The tolex is still intact covering the dent. The amp functions as intended and sounds great. Plenty of low end on this one! Come with a foot switch that controls the tremolo. This amp currently has a 2 prong cable.
This Gretsch Cowboy Amp Twin was owned by Brian Setzer
This amp is in overall pretty great condition for being as old as it is. The white tolex has some small rips here and there but nothing major. The grill cloth is pretty worn and certain parts of it are more "rough" feeling than other parts of it. The faceplate has some dark spotting from age but all of the markings are still legible. The amp sounds incredible, especially the tremolo! The jacks all work but a few seem to be a bit dirtier then others and this amp will for sure benefit from a cleaning/tune up. The plug is only a 2 prong plug and does not currently have a ground.
This Fender Deluxe Reverb Amp was owned by Brian Setzer
This amp is in really great shape. The tolex has a few minor scuffs here and there but nothing major. The grill cloth is a bit dirty from age but no major tears. The amp functions completely as intended and sounds amazing. Super splashy reverb and the amp breaks up with perfection. The plug is currently a 2 prong with no ground. Comes with vintage foot switch.
