Fender 1967 Bassman AB165 Black Panel Vintage Amp Head, Serviced

No sales tax for US customers outside California.

At a glance: Fender 1967 Bassman AB165 head, a serviced 50-watt amp in black tolex with a sparkle grille. Two JJ 6L6 power tubes, a 12AT7 and three 12AX7 preamp tubes (JJ, Sovtek, Ruby). Very good condition. The transformers are original. A previous owner fitted orange drop caps, which I replaced with Vishay metallized polyester film caps. Head only. Weighs 30 lbs 5.5 oz.

I checked the amp before and after the swap and it made a big difference. The filter and bias caps were updated before it arrived, and a previous owner's power cable swap wasn't done right, so I fixed that. Pots, jacks and tube sockets cleaned, tubes tested. It's ready for another 60 years!

What has been changed from stock? The capacitors and the power cable. The transformers, pots, tolex, grille, chassis, knobs and handle are original. Does it include a speaker cabinet? No, head only.
