Vintage 1982 Fender Bassman 135 Blackface USA Amplifier Head
Vintage 1982 Fender Bassman 135 Blackface USA Amplifier Head
This is a wonderfully rare original 1982 Fender Bassman 135. This example, with the blackface front, was only produced in 1981 and 1982, before it was discontinued – not many of these exist. I found this in an Ireland, hence the export voltage selector, where it had been since new. It’s in wonderful condition and working order, and has recently been serviced by a leading UK amp tech. It has a quad of Sovtek 6L6 valves, alongside the original pre-amp valves. Transformers date to 1981 / 1982, and are original to the amplifier. It’s a great example of a classic amplifier – grab a bargain!

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 purchasers’ responsibility to ensure it is inspected by a competent person knowledgeable with the relevant electrical safety standards within that country, prior to connecting to any live electrical circuit.
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. Therefore, your personal preference may differ, depending on your circumstances (i.e. collector or musician), and you may decide to service the item in more depth upon receiving.
The Music Locker cannot accept responsibility for any costs of refurbishment to a standard different to the one advertised.
