[Harp-L] Bassmans For Sale

[Ray Beltran <raybeltran@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Helping a friend sell a couple of Bassmans. He's a harp player, some 30 
years, y'all may know him: Darrell Mansfield. The following amps are 
some of the final pieces of his extensive Fender collection left to 
sell. He's held onto these the longest, but no longer has need for 
them. He does most of his ministry traveling around the world with his 
tweed Champ. Therefore, he has decided to sell the following:

(Scroll down a bit.. I'm still trying to sell my buddy Kooch's 
National. Any offers?)

One of Darrell's Bassman's is a '57 Fender Bassman 4x10 combo. Looks 
just like any other 5F6A, but a peek under the hood reveals it's a 5E6. 
The 5E6 circuit is nearly the same as the 5F6A, but the major 
difference is the utilization of two 5U4 tube rectifiers. Darrell says 
that this is one of his favorite Bassmans because, he claims, that you 
can "get it to sing" earlier. Especially when one of the tube recs is 
removed. He says it's much more favorable for harp than the 5F6A 
circuit.

Also, a rare  '54 Fender Wide-Panel 2-Hole Bassman, 5B6. 15" Utah 
speaker, recovered in blonde tolex. Preamps are 6SC7, which sound nice 
for harp. Tung-Sol 5881's. Check out the size of those tranny's!

Prices are OBO, contact me with offers. I have not played through 
either amp, but Darrell is a gigging harp player of some 30 years, and 
he's played through just about everything, knows what he's talking 
'bout. He has owned and gigged with every known Fender, and was well 
known at the Fender factory, knowing personally the three Mexican 
ladies who put the amps together for Leo. He's got some incredible 
stories. When I get the opportunity, I'll put a picture on my site 
showing him with his full Fender collection.

Anyway, let me know if you are interested in any of these amps.

Thanks,
Ray.
