    The Fender Bassman provided the early inspiration for Marshall amplifier designs. But, both sonically and in terms of their circuit architecture, they soon evolved into something entirely their own. Marshall’s bass amps were arguably more popular with A-list bassists than the Fender Bassman ever was – Jack Bruce, Chris Squire and Lemmy were among their fans – but the Super Bass has always been revered by guitarists too.

    This Super Bass – the JMP 1992 Super Bass 100, to use its full model name – is an early example and comes courtesy of Vintage Tone Factory, a boutique guitar recording studio that specialises in, among other things, remote reamping.
