1964 Fender Bassman 6G6-B. Happy 60th Birthday.

[@BillThorpe-BTfpv]

Great Video!! I'm glad I searched your video title lol. I just finished recapping my 1964 6G6-B today and wanted to browse some examples of tones to compare... THANKS :) Perfect timing. My Grandpa bought it new in 1964 and my Dad gigged with it for a while. I wanted to get it back to use in my studio, so I took a KZbin detour and became a amp tech lol... and I'm SUPER impressed with the tone and options the amp gives. When I get it past 5, the sweet breakup starts. The original 2x12 speaker cabinet and speakers also are incredible, but I'll probably leave them to sit and look pretty :) Happy Birthday to both our amps. Cheers!

Nice. Great story too. Passed through the family. They really are great sounding amps and one of Fender’s best.

Happy birthday. Another great video Greg..It sure does sound sweet.

Thanks. They really are great amps. I think I appreciate it more each year.

Dude!! How can one amp sound SO perfect for Bass AND guitar!?! 🎸 🔥🔥🔥

I'm an owner as well. The most Marshall amp of the early fender line IMO. Mine is made in early 64, blackface panel, soft blond tolex, gold grillcloth. A bit of a mongrel just like Brian Setzer's.

Same age as mine then. They really are great amp and when you get bored of one channel, you can use the other for a while. I liked the comment you deleted about the pickup magnets. 😁

Great sound! I set an old guitar amp on fire once too. Probably more of an internal electrics issue though. Sad.

A couple of engineer/producers were using it with a band here, a few years back and it started smoking. They quickly shut it down and took it outside, thinking they’d destroyed it. I replaced the burned out resistor and output valves and it was back in service an hours later. Not all amps are designed to be so easy to service, of course.

Thanks for the video. I’ve been on the fence about buying a 64 bassman at a local shop versus a reissue jtm 45 and this maybe sealed the deal for me.

[@aphekrecordingstudio4274]

If the price is good, the Bassman is a great amp and if maintained, will last another 60 years. 😎

Never leave your tuner on your guitar.
