Great comparison video once again Johan - thank you!

Both of these amps sound killer! I have a preference for the Bassman though :-)

[rcolang]

OMG what wonderful tones....how can I live without one of those from now Thanks Johan....great video!!

[chrismitlyng]

Wow what a pair of vintage gold nuggets you have here! Amazing sound! Great to hear them cranked up Johan!
Thank you for the vid!!

[EazyDoor]

More Tweeds oh yes! It's so nice to hear the Les Paul and the Strat side by side. Simon's a great player!

[dannybrazen]

another great video! we never get to hear these amps that everyone talks about so much side by side! ...until now!

[edtweede-a]

Awesome thank you for your excellent videos

[superflea]

a terrific video once again Johan! I personally thought the Twin had the best overall tone, the Bassman was great too, but it sounded a little 'scooped' to me. keep 'em coming guys, you make some of the best videos on YT imo. :)

12s all the way for me! Thanks for posting this one!

I'm currently cleaning up a Fender Blues DeVille 4x10 and it looks like I'll be making a new baffle and installing a couple 12s (I was thinking of going with a 15, but I'll go with 12s).

[rockduds]

Hard to choose my friend, both very good, nice video!

[MrCrapheadist]

Another great video👍. I would love to hear the Bassman vs jtm45, then the bassman through the Marshall cab, and vice versa. In theory they would sound pretty similar

[MrCrapheadist]

I swear, every time I punch in a video I hope was actually made, Johan comes up. Awesome channel dude👍

[tonecontrol]

Hey Johan, I'm loving this comparison. I have an all original 1960 Fender Tweed Bassman (in excellent cond) posted on my reverb.com store but after listening to the vids on them, I may just keep it for myself. Which did you prefer?

[adamflam]

enjoyed the vid as usual! i like that you play both strat and les paul on your last videos.
how about making some clean tone comparrison as well?
cheers !

[BladeDoomer]

Amazing playing at 1:58 min mark! Both amps sound glorious, especially in the right hands ;)

[yaboymintz]

I actually prefer the twin. Both sound incredible though

[GemmaSeymour]

This is wonderful. The biggest tonal difference between these amps is the speaker configuration. The output stages are more similar than dissimilar and everything up to the phase inverter is more or less identical.

[JMPJackGuitar]

Hey Johan. I have an idea for a comparison:
Fender 59 bassman (original vintage) vs bassman reissue (early 90s 5F6A) vs bassman ltd reissue (modern).
What do you think about it?

[jonnybeck]

Those things sound really yummy and you can hear the extra 20-30 watts in the twin.
in brightness/headroom... even on YouTube
thanx and cheers mate

What's that riff from that Simon plays at 3:20? He plays it on quite a few vids and it sounds so familiar but I can't work out what song its from.
