1963 Bassman Macro Shots

5 watts ➡️ 2 x 12. . Here's my #GibSunday afternoon noodling rig: 1961 #LesPaul Junior into transitional 1964 #5F1 #FenderChamp. . But instead of using the 8" built in Champ speaker, my amp tech, @marshalllespaulfan wired me up a 1/8" to 1/4" adapter cable so I can disintermediate the stock speaker and plug into a BIG cab! Here I'm using the 2 x 12 from my 1964 #6G6 #Bassman. One of my complaints about the Champ has always been that with its small box and small speaker it can lack...erm..."hugeness". Well...problem solved! This rig sounds massive! 🤣 . Luckily the Bassman cab is wired for 4 ohm impedance, which matches the output transformer of the Champ perfectly (although I learned from Skip on @vintageampspodcast that it should be able to handle a +/-100% impedance mismatch without damaging the amp anyway...but I still get nervous! 🤣) . ✔Pedal board by @atlasstands ✔✔Straps by @tomsvintagestraps . . #gibson #gibsonlespaul #lespauljunior #Fender #fenderbassman #vintageamp #amp #vintagefender #guitar #guitars #guitarra #chitarra #guitarre #electricguitar #vintageguitars #vintagegibson #gibsonguitars #tone #guitargear #guitarsdaily #guitarsofinstagram #guitarphotography (at Peterborough, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYzNMOVrica/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Mighty #Musicmaster. . Here is one I am sure my friend @tomojustfunky will appreciate. No one makes these guitars sound better than Tomo does! But even for an average (ok, "mediocre" 🤣) player such as myself, if you don't think a 3/4 size single pickup #studentguitar can sound good, I challenge you to plug a 1961 #FenderMusicmaster in a 1964 tuxedo #6G6 #Fender #Bassman and take it for a spin. I guarantee you will be pleasantly surprised! . Note: for best results don't forget to turn up the #amp a bit (note the volume setting on the #bass channel here...the basement windows were rattling, let me tell you! 😆). For most of my life, I controlled my overall volume by keeping the #guitar volume on 10 and setting the amp volume low. However, I have recently discovered that I get a better sound at low volumes by turning the amp way up and turning the volume down on the guitar. The amp just sounds better when it is being driven a bit, even if the input signal is low. One weird side effect though is an abundance of treble. So I find I have to roll off the tone control on both the amp and the guitar. Does anyone else do this? . . #guitar #guitars #guitarra #chitarra #guitarre #electricguitar #vintageguitars #fenderguitars #vintagefender #tone #guitargear #guitarsofinstagram #geartalk #guitargear #vintagegear #guitarsdaily #fendersofinstagram #guitarphotography #vintageamp (at Peterborough, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cam2xUkrXeI/?utm_medium=tumblr

It's a Holiday Monday installment from the "Rigs That Don't Suck" series! . The guitar is a 1961 #LesPaul Junior, One of the last doublecuts before #Gibson changed to the new "SG" design. . The amplification is a bit of a hybrid: a 1964 transitional #5F1 #Fender #Champ with the stock 8" speaker unplugged and an RCA-to-1/4" adapter cable connecting it to the 2x12 that belongs to my 1964 #6G6 #Bassman. . (Pedal board is by @atlasstands and the straps are by @tomsvintagestraps) . . #gibsonlespaul #lespauljunior #fenderchamp #fenderbassman #fenderamp #vintageamp #guitar #guitars #guitarra #chitarra #guitarre #electricguitar #vintageguitars #vintagegibson #gibsonguitars #tone #guitargear #guitarsdaily #guitarsofinstagram #geartalk #vintagegear #gibsonsofinstagram #guitarphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/CaPUQQ8r4OY/?utm_medium=tumblr

It's Bassmonday* with the 1964 transitional #6G6 tuxedo #Fender #Bassman and my friend @iamtheosdad's PAF-loaded, burgundy mist @frank_brothers Arcade model. . A PAF into a 6G6 sounds rather pleasing, I must say! . #frankbrothers #frankbrothersguitarco #madeincanada #boutiqueguitars #fenderbassman #guitar #guitars #amp #amps #amplifiers #vintageguitars #vintageamps #fenderamp #vintagefender #tubeamp #tone #guitargear #guitarsdaily #guitarsofinstagram #geartalk #guitarsdaily #fendersofinstagram #guitarphotography #ampphotography . *pronounced either "bass-Monday" or "bassmon-day", your choice 😆 (at Peterborough, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CazTfVWu40L/?utm_medium=tumblr

BassmanMonday? BassmanDay? BassMonday? 😂 . 1964 #Fender #6G6 "Tuxedo" #Bassman. . The "Fender Elect. Inst. Co" printed on the face plate tells you a #FenderAmp was made before the middle of 1965. After the middle of '65 faceplates started to read "Fender Musical Instruments". . #fenderbassman #fender6g6 #feic #fmi #guitar #guitars #amp #amps #amplifiers #vintageguitars #vintageamps #fenderamp #vintagefender #tubeamp #tone #guitargear #guitarsdaily #guitarsofinstagram #geartalk #guitarsdaily #fendersofinstagram #guitarphotography #ampphotography . https://www.instagram.com/p/CP1ds03hOec/?utm_medium=tumblr
