The Tone Master '59 Bassman amplifier uses massive digital processing power to achieve a single remarkable feat: faithfully modeling the circuitry and 45-watt power output of an original Bassman tube amp. Using a high-performance class D power amp to achieve the headroom and dynamics of the tube amp, the result is pure Bassman tone that's virtually indistinguishable from the original.

This remarkable Fender technology is paired with the sparkle and touch sensitivity of four Jensen® P-10R speakers, as well as player-centric additions like convolution spring reverb, a vintage/tight switch for smoother bass response and a post-power amp effects loop. Other features include an output power selector for full power and five attenuated settings, impulse response (IR) XLR line output for detailed cabinet simulations, mute switch, and lightweight pine cabinet.

Features

• Four 10" Jensen P-10R Alnico Speakers
• "Normal" and "Bright" channels, each with dual inputs
• Top-panel Convolution Reverb control
• Rear-panel "Vintage-Tight" switch allows tighter low-end response
• Post-power amp effects loop for using time-based effects
• Rear-panel output power selector for full power and five attenuated settings
• Balanced XLR line output with impulse response (IR) cabinet simulations
• USB port for firmware upgrades
• Lightweight, resonant pine cabinet
• Jewel illuminates to indicate normal operation, warmup and mute modes
• Universal 100V-240V operation
• Cover and two-button footswitch included

The Fender Bassman is a famous amp for a reason. Marshall got their sound and design from the tweed 1959 Bassman. Dumble got the inspiration to build the famous Overdrive Special from watching Robben Ford play thru a Bassman. The Tone Master version adds Convolution Reverb, an effects loop in the perfect place in the signal chain, several points attenuation from 45 tube watts down to 0.5 watts. The amp sounds great. Just wish the attentuation 45W, 22W, 12W, 5W, 1W, 0.5W was foot switchable. But easy to change if you are standing by the amp. It has a footswitch for Reverb and Effects Loop and protective cover. I like the Vintage/Tight switch for more aggressive sound at higher volume levels. You can get a great sound plugged straight into the amp. I like to use overdrive into the front end and delay in the effects loop. The amp can move a lot of air with the 4 x 10 inch speakers and deluxe pine cabinet. The amp is expensive but worth the price. You pay for R&D. The team at Fender really wanted this amp to be a winner and it shows. I don't mind paying a little extra for excellence. This amp is built for performance. It was a star at the last band practice. And at the 0.5W setting, it can help me get my chops with the proper overdriven sound at bedroom volume levels. Highly recommended. Especially if you like that tweed or Marshall sound at several volume levels from bedroom to stadium. Quad core processing for accurate to the original sound and 3 IR choices for feeding to PA or recording. I might get a second one for stereo delay sound.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
