1952 Bassman with a 15 inch bass speaker/ jensen 1952 Pictured with the amp is a Neumman U47 tube. Fender guitars seem to sound best with Fender amps. This amp later 1959 be came the same amp that Jim Marshall used to make his amps.Click image for larger pics.

Fender Tremolux: A sweet sounding amp with great creamy compression when driven.
(top left) The Black Face Bassman: Around mid 60s these were first made for bass but as time went on they were admired by guitarist for there tight sound in the bass and great for a cleaner power chords.

The Black face Tremolux is one of my most favorite amps for Tremolo. I would love to find the correct bottom for this amp, I think it came with two 10s.

(bottom right) Below is a early 60s Bandmaster great for clean chords. Great for any bass line guitar parts in a song.

All these amps have a sound of there own. When combined with other amps this is what I feel gives a Cd a character of it's own.

(top left) is a new amp made by James Demeter this is one great
amp. Three chanels with todays music in mind. It was used on almost all of the Marcy Playground CD. Below that is a 1960s Fender Super Reverb. To the right is a re-tweeded orginal 1959 Fender Bassman.

Those of you that know this is the amp that Jim Marshall used to invent his now famous amp. This amp is most sought after by fender lovers and just about any other colector out there. Insane tone.

To the right of the Bassman is a 1951 or 1952 Fender Bassman this is the amp that started it all off for the bassman craze. It started off with the one 15. Fender saw that these open back amps with one 15 inch speaker weren't holding
up. They decided to fit the amp in time with four 10s and little did they know they were building the next great guitar amp.

In the front line is a 52 Fender Deluxe and a 59 Ampeg Jet. these are nice amps for the home and a studo amp for that one part in a song that it fits in. That black box you see is a Mestro (Gibson) Echoplex that's right a tape delay. When we bring these out most guys go whats that and then they hear the difference. We also have a Watkins copycat.
