Description
A vintage 1964 Gretsch 6159 Dual Bass 2x12 tube combo amp in player-grade condition. While it has its share of cosmetic issues, it also has original transformers and era-correct Jensen speakers. It features a nice, thick clean tone that turns into a rich overdrive as you turn up the gain, reminiscent of a narrow panel-era tweed Fender. The Dual Bass also features an awesome all-tube tremolo. This amp has been cleaned and serviced. It is fully functional and sounds great.
