    Fender Bassman 100T Chapter 3

    I always thought there was something wrong with my normal channel deep switch. Interesting to see that it’s not just me/mine.

    Probably 90 percent of the general population doesn't know the difference. To them, electric piano keys = synth.

    8x10 for Rock/Metal

    I'll cast my vote for the Fender 810. More high end than the Ampeg, lighter, and it's ported. Slightly more modern sounding if you want that harder metal edge.

    Vertical 2x12. Maybe 2x10. The whole point of those amps is to keep things light and easy, and speaker handling has improved to the point of nearly not needing large cabs anymore (says the guy who has the 6x10 and loves it). It would be fun to see the original Bassman cab dimensions (plus a...

    610 recommendstions

    Lots of warnings about weight... I have a hard time imagining that somebody who's schlepped a 410 around, and is asking about 6x10s hasn't considered that a they are big and heavy. Some people just like big cabs - myself included. My Bassman 610 has been great. A little scooped compared to my...

    Horses for courses. Sometimes when targeting a very specific sound, you just have to have the gear. My 100t has been my number one for 6 or 7 years - it's great for a huge range of sounds - whether I take it to a house show and wind it up, a low-volume gig, or a stage with DI support. Seriously...

    Official Fender Bassman Club Pt II

    The tubes and circuit are still a part of it, it's just that the speaker is the last thing that effects the sound, so it will have a big effect on it. I'll slightly amend my "small speaker" statement to say that though it may be 15 inches, it's an older design with smaller magnet and less throw...

    Official Fender Bassman Club Pt II

    Unless something is wrong with your cab, you aren't going to get speaker breakup from the Goliath, even at the full 100 watts. What you're hearing is pre-amp distortion - the active eq and tone stack in the overdrive channel are specifically designed to clip. Also, just speaking semantics...

    If you ever happen into a place that has an 8x10 cabinet sitting there, plug that bad boy in and you'll hear the difference real quick. Not saying I'd schlep one around to plug a 25'er into, but if it's there...

    Lol. I guess Setzer could be considered a youngin in ‘84. Here’s my early ‘65 I bought off a wonderful lady that had used it to play bass in country bands since the 60’s. It pulls double duty now, guitar and bass.

    At least they got released into the wild. Us "youngins" like nice things too.

    Should I open my new bass immediately?

    If you haven’t opened it yet, you’re too late. It’s ruined.

    Pre-Covid vs Now: Upward % change in new and used

    I live in logging country, and every mill I’ve seen is stacked to the sky with boards, sheets, and fresh timber. These prices make no sense, and I’m at the point of claiming foul play.

    Absolutely sick amp! But unless modded, 69 and blackface do not go together. Edit: Upon further review, the head and cab might be from the same time, and the appearances of the panel and grill were swapped for the full black on black look. I dig it.
