Up for sale, here is a highly collectible, transitional 1962 Fender Bassman Amp head, featuring the 6G6-B circuit in original Blonde tolex, Brown Face with Wheat Grille. This is one of the last Bassman heads Brown Face produced before Fender transitioned to Black tolex production.

The amp is all original, including all transformers (dated ’61 and ’62), original blonde tolex, and original grille cloth. The only noted details are the tubes and the three prong power cord, for safety reasons. Otherwise, the amp remains All original with no mods.

It has received routine professional maintenance and has been retubed with vintage Sovtek and GT tubes. The amp functions perfectly and sounds fantastic.

While originally designed for bass, the 6G6-B Bassman is equally revered as a guitar amp. This circuit is widely regarded as one of Fender’s best sounding and most versatile designs for both guitar and bass.

Cosmetically, the amp is in Excellent condition overall, showing honest vintage wear consistent with age, with no major issues or abuse.

This is a highly desirable transitional Bassman, ideal for players and collectors looking for an original example from the final Blonde Brown face era.
