That link is kinda weird. The demo is of a Tweed Bassman RI. Not the "Blondman" They call the covering vinyl, not tolex? The Blondman has "vibrato". does anyone actually use vibrato any more?
I'm not a fan of Tweed. Fragile, attracts dirt and can't be cleaned well, cats love it, the stuff is a weird color until it is 50 years old. Hell, Leo dumped the stuff as soon as he found something better...BN

i didnt see a demo, nor any mention of vibrato, and i've been telling everyone that LTD stands for Lacquered TweeD not "limited" for so long that to find out i'm wrong at this stage would cause me to go into a state of denial...
I agree with BN on the tweed thing too...i had to repossess a tweed deluxe...sorry, i mean a Hot Rod Deluxe LTD...and its so annoying...the amp is otherwise pretty clean but at some point the guy sat a drink on it...now i gotta figure how to clean because when it comes to resale, cosmetic count$ big time
but i got nothing useful to say about this blonde bassman...i'd have it i guess 8^)

From the link above, go look at it!
’59 Bassman Sound and Style
The modern edition of one of the greatest guitar amps ever made gets a stylish makeover in blonde. The ’59 Bassman "Blondeman" takes the venerable 4x10" classic and dresses it in elegantly cool Blonde textured vinyl covering with oxblood grille cloth. With 45 watts of power and four 10" Jensen® speakers designed to sound broken-in right out of the gate, the "Blondeman" delivers wide stage coverage, touch-sensitive dynamics and full-frequency swirl that make it perfect for rock, country, blues and more. A limited run of this very special amp is available while supplies last.
Features
•45 watts
•Four 10” Jensen® P10R speakers
•Two channels (normal, vibrato)
•Four inputs (two normal, two vibrato)
•Blonde textured vinyl covering with Oxblood grille cloth and "Limited Edition" badge
•Internal bias control

That's gotta be a typo. NEVER has there been a Bassman model of any incarnation that was built with onboard effects. I bet they copied and pasted from one of the EC 'Lux model specs or something.

Fender must have hired some collage kid to do there adds. Probably doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground about amps...BN

The key feature is that the volume goes to 12. Nigel Tufnel's Marshall amp only goes to 11. So when you need that extra push over the cliff, its one louder.
Sorry. Couldn't resist.
