My old Fender Bassman amplifier gets a new lease on life.

    After UPS beat the hell out of her, I got a great amplifier repair/builder in Los Angeles named Roy Blankenship to put her back together. She's purring like a kitten and roaring like a lion now......My 1968 or 67? I dunno Fender Bassman Amplifier walkthrough.

    Shane,

    Great that you got ‘er back from repair and sounding right to your ear.  

    Damaged fave gear, the horror side of the road life. 

    All the Best!

      So good. Did you spec the changes for the bass channel or is that Mr. Blankenship's idea?

        he did it, he said it's more like a tweed/vox tone stack now. Much more useful for guitar.

          He kept the 6L6s as well. Single coils sound good too?

                I haven't heard anything official yet. It's out of my hands at this point.

                    Hey Jim, yeah hopefully live stuff comes back soon. LA is crazy with the lockdown, I've been busier than ever though writing and recording for other people on a few records. I gotta say, I don't miss touring!
