Theres a shop called Family Melody on Long Island in Patchogue that I go to a lot, and a guy there called me up and said we just got in a Fender Bassman 59 1x12 and a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe....he said he didnt know any info because it got in 10 minutes before he called me

but arent the 59 Bassman's - 4x10??

he also said that it was going for 599$ (thats fuckin cheap)

by the way how is the Hot Rod Deluxe?

    yeah, 4x10. the hot rod is 1x12"


    the hot rod deluxe is ok. the clean channel is good. the drive channel with the "boost" is terrible.

    better option: http://fender.com/products/search.php?partno=2232200000

    The 1x12 is probably the "Blues Deluxe" reissue in lacquered tweed.

    bassmans are indeed 4x10.

    oh I see you listed it, excellent work Je sus. :D

    It still could benifit from a better speaker or good breeding from Clark. I'm still dreaming of that one on Ebay.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    It's possible that it's a '59 Bassman that's been fitted to a custom wood cab with a single 12" speaker. But it's not a 1x12" factory job, that doesn't exist. But don't write off the possibility of it being a custom job.

    The Blues Deluxe and Hot Rod Deluxe are great amps so long as you never use the drive channel. But put a good OD in front, and they're amazing, great cleans and a decent reverb.
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.

    when i see it and if its true, and i like the tone, ill probably get it...but i was thinking

    i was thinking of downsizing (in wattage) to a 20watt amp...like the Traynor YCV20...you think that will be loud enough on its own without a PA to get over the drums when jamming? Im only asking this because i dont even think i can do 30 or 40 watts where i live

    And 22 watts is the best.
