Fender Bassman 50 - Normal preset
Verified · 87/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.
The Bassman 50 is a silverface-era 50-watt bass head. A Bass Instrument channel with a Deep switch and a blackface-style Normal channel are mixed into another 7025 gain stage, then a 12AT7 long-tail phase inverter drives two fixed-bias 6L6GCs on a silicon rectifier. It is clean and punchy, and guitarists also use it as a clean platform.
