1959 Fender Bassman 5F6-A Tweed Vintage Tube Amp 4x10 w/ Jensen P10R & Cover, Serviced

Up for sale, a 1959 Fender Bassman featuring the 5F6-A circuit, original quad of P10R speakers, original tweed, and a full complement of vintage, USA-made tubes. An extremely soulful and expertly serviced example, this Bassman boasts 45 all tube watts driven by a pair of USA Tung Sol small bottle 5881 (6L6GC) power tubes. And while the circuit was originally engineered for bass as the name would suggest, guitar players quickly gravitated to it for its muscle, headroom, and rich overdriven grit. It's a pure, straightforward circuit, with individual Volume knobs for the two channels and a global Treble/Middle/Bass three band EQ, as well as a Presence knob. Bridging the two channels with a small 1/4" jumper allows for interactivity between the two Volume knobs for even thicker roar and sizzle.The circuit is extremely original, only serviced as needed to retain functionality and with strict adherence to vintage aesthetics. All of the original Triad transformers are intact, and the preamp retains all of the original yellow Astron capacitors, with the electrolytic caps replaced with modern Spragues to ensure optimal performance, sleeved in original Astron Minimite wrappers for a clean, vintage look. The power supply caps were replaced with Spragues and sleeved in a similar fashion. All of the original pots are intact, with visible CTS manufacturing codes and 1959 dates. A modern gray three-prong power cable has been installed, and the Ground toggle has also been disconnected. The tube complement includes small bottle Tung Sol 5881 power tubes, an Amperex GZ34 rectifier, and preamp tubes from the likes of Tung Sol and RCA.The original tube chart is fully intact inside the cabinet, noting the 5F6-A circuit and complete with an IC stamp that translates to March of 1959. All four original Jensen P10R speakers are intact, and all four retain their original, still viable cones. The blue and silver Jensen foil labels are largely intact on the magnets and magnet bells (the upper two speakers on a Tweed-era Bassman did not have bell covers to accommodate the chassis and transformer size). The speaker frames also have matching model and date codes from the 21st week of 1959. The solid wood baffle has a couple small repaired splits with flat black paint touch-up, and the baffle is very solid structurally with new screws securing the baffle to the cabinet.The tweed is all original and very soulful, and the oxblood grillcloth with gold stripe is also stock. There is one rectangular spot of aftermarket aging on the upper left corner of the upper back panel. The chrome chassis is in remarkably good shape, with bright plating and clean silkscreen lettering. All of the original black chicken head knobs are also intact. The dogbone handle is a modern replacement, as is the small metal Bassman logo on the amp's face.A replica Victoria Luggage-style slip cover is included.
