Fender Bassman - What do you think?

So, I've got the go-ahead from my wife to buy a vintage Bassman amp. It's mainly for our new band which she'll play bass in. Who knows why she agreed to this, but I'm not gonna look a gift wife in the mouth. Haha. I figure that if she doesn't end up playing bass for long they're awesome guitar amps and a pretty solid investment.

Here are my options:

It's a '65 and 1400 bucks with original speakers.

They all seem pretty good to me. I love the look of the blonde ones.

Oh yeah, and all of those prices are in CAD. Not that it matters much anymore since we're getting pretty close to the USD.

Dude, you are one lucky SOB. I played through one of those a few years back, it belonged to my old drummer. I used an old school Ibanez Tube Screamer for Overdr. And it was one of-if not the best tone I've ever had. I almost cried when he told me that he sold it....... 😢

all them look great, but the last one sounds like the one to do.

...but then again the 2nd blonde IS nice

Oh, I know how nice they are. I had a Bassman years ago and loved it but eventually had to sell it for food. 😆

I used to have one like that in the last studio I worked at. Very good.

Back in the "day", fender bassman was "THE" lead guitar amp.
