Vintage 1964 Fender Bassman 6G6B Export Brown Blonde Amplifier Head
Vintage 1964 Fender Bassman 6G6B Export Brown Blonde Amplifier Head
I found this wonderful amplifier down on the outskirts of London, where it had been with a musician for many, many decades. It’s a transitional period 1964 Fender Bassman. What makes this even rarer is the fact it is an original ‘export’ model with the UK voltage stock mains transformer. The previous owner, a musician from the London 1960s scene, stripped most of the original blonde tolex, as you can see, and lacquered the wood. It’s a crazy cool looking cabinet! All 3x transformers are original and date to early 1964, and all the valves are original too which is crazy! Has had a few light replacements on the circuitboard by my tech this week, but nothing significant at all. It’s a super original example internally, and a players grade externally. Please see the pictures below as these form part of my description. Grab a bargain! This is for the head only – the Showman cabinet is sold separately.

The Music Locker prides itself on offering vintage and collectable pre-owned instruments and equipment (the Products).
We take all reasonable steps to ensure the equipment has been inspected by a competent person in the UK to ensure it complies with UK safety standards. This may mean it does not comply with the current standards in the country in which it will be subsequently used.

It is the philosophy of The Music Locker to keep all items as original as possible, only changing original components when absolutely necessary. This includes valves, capacitors, transformers, potentiometers, frets, etc. This gives the buyer the option of tailoring to their exact needs, and may mean that the item is not operating at optimum performance levels.
