I personally hand-built this amp from the legendary Fender Tweed Bassman 5F6-A schematic – the very circuit that inspired the original Marshall amps.
Features:
Loaded with 2x Jensen C10Q (ceramic, punchy mids and bright highs) + 2x Jensen P10R (alnico, warm vintage chime) for incredible speaker blend and breakup
Point-to-point hand-wired construction with carbon composition resistors in all tone-sensitive areas for authentic vintage feel and response
Premium Hammond transformers
MojoTone cabinet
Vintage power section: Old stock Tung-Sol and Sylvania 5881s + JJ GZ34 rectifier
Vintage preamp tubes throughout: RCA 6072, Tung-Sol USA 12AX7, and vintage Telefunken smooth plate 12AX7
High-quality F&T filter caps
Adjustable bias
Channels can be jumpered for classic tone stacking
3-way NFB switch: classic Bassman, no NFB (raw/powerful), or Marshall-style negative feedback
Extremely pedal-friendly – responds beautifully to overdrives, boosts, and fuzzes without getting muddy or harsh
Incredible tone even at bedroom volumes, absolutely phenomenal when cranked and the tubes are singing/sweating.
Everything is brand new except for the beautiful vintage tubes. Built to last.
Compare to the Fender '59 Bassman LTD reissue (around $2200 new) – that's just a PCB board with modern components. For $2500 you get the real deal: true point-to-point hand-wired vintage-correct build, premium transformers, killer vintage tubes, custom speakers, carbon comp resistors in the right places, and that authentic hand-crafted soul.
Perfect for that authentic Tweed-to-Plexi journey in one amp.
