There is a old bassman at my local music shop. It is huge, over a half stack on under 800w (I think). The head and the cab are like $170 total. I think it is a good price. Is it? I've heard they are bass amps but they were used for guitar amps. So which are they?

Thx

I believe that all of the Bassman amplifiers were originally intended for bass guitars, but who knows?....some where a long time ago.....some guitarist whose amp died during a gig, had no recourse but to plug into the bass player's amp in order to finish the night, and he discovered that even though it was a bass amp, that the sound coming out of the 4 x 10's (or 1x15!) was stellar..! Stellar enough to warrant him buying his own Bassman amplifier, to use for his guitar.....at least that's just ONE scenario!....

true! i used a fender basman in the 60's a tweed. it was a 57 as i remember. 4-10's the 10's went sour after a million miles, and i made p.a. cabs for them, and put two 12's in there place. all jensons. they were used for everything just no reverb for the guitarist, what a work horse! i now use a bassman 250 over 4-10's and a 15, with a samson pre- amp for the tube effect.
