Hey Kemper Fans,
We just finished up profiles of all-original examples of these two highly-collectible amps. I know some of you guys were asking for the Blonde Bassman, and we had to do the '59 just... because.
Hope you like 'em!
Thanks,
Jimi

Just picked up the 59 Bassman. Awesome!
As always, very nice sound on these Top Jimi's profiles
Excellent! Thanks guys.

Picked up both but have yet to try them thoroughly. The football world cup gets my attention lately
Yup picked up both and the Sansamp while I was on ....
is your website working properly? can't reach it at the moment
I recall seeing an Email from TopJimi this morning saying they were doing some work on their website
it's working, so nevermind
Sorry guys, the website is currently down. We're doing a redesign of the site which requires a new SSL certificate. Unfortunately getting the SSL is taking a lot longer than we expected (we thought it would just take a couple hours).
The site should be up shortly. Sorry for the inconvenience!

http://www.topjimi.com is up and running now. We merged topjimi.com and shop.topjimi.com into one site.
The previous links in this thread for the '59 and '62 Bassmans are now broken. Just go to http://www.topjimi.com and you'll find them easily.

Hey Jimi, the download links are not working. I just bought the '59 profiles and cannot download them with the link i got with the e-mail. I had to remove "shop." from the beginning of the link then it works
Sorry about that Firebird. We'll get that corrected soon. Thank you in advance for your patience!
Jimi
Hey Firebird, sent you the profiles in an email. The system is still updating as part of the upgrade. Argh!
Jimi
Thanks a lot Jimi! I just checked them out for 10 minutes and they are really great! Played them with a Les Paul and a Tele, awesome sound with both guitars, no tweaking neccessary at all!
Fantastic. Glad you like 'em!
http://www.topjimi.com is fully up and running now.
I just bought the 2 packs and I really like the '59 Bassman, what I don't like:
- way too much reverb on all profiles
- profiles with tube screamer
I've spent more time with those profiles now and I really love the '59 Bassman. It has a different flavour than other peoples profiles of the same amp. This one is really raw and also has more gain than other Bassman profiles, possibly because the profiled amp is a very special unit. The crunch sounds are really great, even with a Les Paul. Usually Les Pauls with tweed Fenders are not really my cup of tea (just personal taste, some famous players obviously thought different and made that combination work). But in this case even me could get my Les Paul working great with that amp.
But I still think it really shines with my Strat and Tele. I have a really nice custom made Strat and while scrolling through the various variations many times I couldn't help but thinking "SRV". With my Tele (maple neck and van Zandt pickups) I was happily jamming to some Springsteen songs, great for the single note licks like in "Born to run" or "Darkness at the edge of town". The profiles have the reight amout of dirt to make those sounds work.
The '62 Bassman is great as well, but I have Andy's '63 Bassman and they are not that far apart soundwise, so I wasn't as surprised as I was with the '59.
Garrincha: Glad you liked the '59 Bassman. I was also surprised by the amount of gain in the amp. It looked as though it may have the original power tubes in it, which could explain some of the great tone (made in USA Tung-Sols). The amp was also surprisingly bright, which I personally love for cleaner tones. I use profiles from this amp a lot.
