I picked up my '65 AB165 Bassman back in the late 90s. Most versatile big-block amp that I ever owned. There are 3 variants, with essentially 2 circuits. The pre-CBS AA864, Transitional AA165 (which is basically the same as the AA864), and the post CBS AB165 circuit. The amp here is from 1966, so it's an AB165. Early silverface Bassman amps use the same AB165 circuit, and are considerably less expensive. This amp can do country, jazz, blues, hard rock, soul funk, and even thrash metal with the right pedal. There's no shortage of sustain, attack or response to player touch. And it's all built on this thick basic clean tone that just works differently, but equally well with every guitar.

I’ve owned 2 AB165 Bassman heads over the years, a 68 drip edge and a 67 BF…just picked up another 68 drip edge with the AB165 circuit..date codes on transformers date it to late 67 or the first couple weeks of 68. This one sounds better than either of the other 2 I had, and it’s all stock (other than 3 prong cord and filter caps). Find a 68 drip edge with the AB165 circuit, much more affordable and the exact same circuit as later 65-67 BF Bassman heads 🤘

BEAUTIFUL tone man! I recently scored a 1967 blackface with drip-edge, anyone ever see one of these transition models before? It hasn't been serviced yet, but seems to work well, bought it from a tech who installed a master in the ground switch hole, and modded the bass channel to be like a Marshall. It sounds great, but yours sounds BEAUTIFUL!

Awesome tone...deaf within 6 months though! Lol. I have the same amp, using an attenuator between head and cab now. Not as 'true' but pretty close and at least I get the breakup without the hearing loss. OK, additional hearing loss. Awesome job bro!!
@kevinmurtagh4996 Жыл бұрын
He doesn’t have the worry about hearing loss because he’s using cab emulation with his Ox Box. I do the same, and it’s the greatest investment I ever made. Sure, nothing can replicate the way a loud amp feels in a room. But for simply recording, or playing quietly at home, the Ox is a complete game changer because you can actually turn big amps up without any loud volume.

Hola, Yo tengo un cabezal como ese, con una pantalla fender 2 x 12 y unos Jensen suena bien pero con una 4x12 con blackbacks suena mucho mas contundente, con mas dinámica y pegada. Con unos Greenback o blackback te va a sonar cojonudo. Aunque en tu video ya te está sonando brutal, pero los conos pueden hacer que suene muy distinto. Saludos

Maybe your Strat has lower output pickups than what I typically use with this amp. But I have the same amp. And when I use a Gibson at 4 1/2 or 5 on the amp volume, it sounds like Malcom Young is playing in my basement. Solid crunch. Even with a Tele, it’s solid hard rock tone at 5. But again, Strats are so scooped and low output, maybe that’s the difference? Either way, yours still sounds awesome!!

I got a late 1965 Bassman with JBL D120F speakers.. It is totally slammin. Sounds a lot like a Marshall plexi, good amount of breakup, but no fizziness or fuzziness. Just way huge monster tone. No way could I turn it up to 8 in the house, it would just hurt way too much. I like good huge loud tones, but volume on 8 is just for a huge club or wide open out door gig with no houses around. I can play it comfortably on 2 volume at home. How can you comfortably play it on volume on 8, in a house?

Hi Tony, what cab/speakers are you running your bassman through? I recently got a 67 with a 2x12 blonde cab (no name speakers) and it really has a lot of headroom. The previous owners swapped the power tubes a day before shipping it to me, so I have the feeling these need to be biased a bit on the hot side for this breakup I'm hearing in your demo. Gracias!!

I somehow have never managed to like a bassman or any blackface fender. They have too many tones that dont have anything that good, they are totally special , but those tones arent mind blowing to me. Somehow they are too like kinda covered by a blanket. Maybe because i 95 per cent of the time play clean with a klon and a ts.
