Experience legendary tone with the Lil Dawg TopDawg, a boutique, handwired take on the classic Tweed Bassman 5F6-A circuit. Built in the USA by Lil Dawg Amps, the TopDawg faithfully recreates the rich harmonic complexity, touch sensitivity, and raw power of the original late-1950s Fender Bassman—widely regarded as one of the greatest guitar amps ever made.

This amp features all-tube construction, point-to-point handwiring, and premium components for maximum tone and reliability. Known for its wide frequency response, smooth breakup, and dynamic clean-to-overdrive range, the TopDawg is perfect for blues, rock, country, and roots players looking for authentic vintage tone in a modern, gig-ready package.

These amps are delivered by Lil Dawg without speakers.  The former owner searched through quite a few different options and settled on Alessandro GA10-SC59 speakers with alnico magnets - a great choice!  The speakers sell for $159 each.

The amp was well cared for by its original owner, who turned it over to us.

We checked out all the tubes on our tester, cleaned the tube sockets and pots, and ran it up to make sure everything works just as it should.

We noticed that this amp was offered with two different output transformer options, so we contacted Jim at Lil Dawg. He said:

580 was equipped with a Heyboer transformer set & the output transformer itself is rated for 60 watts with a 2Ω speaker load.

Shipping policy:
When you purchase this item you are hereby agreeing to this shipping policy. We remove tubes from amps that could be damaged in shipping.  These cases result in multiple box shipments, and they require the buyer to do some assembly on delivery.  We do this because we have experienced shipping issues in the past, and this is our prevention measure.  Vintage amps are sold as-is because they can need service intermittently.  Everything is tested here in our shop on the way into our inventory, and again before shipping.  We will cover shipping damage, but we cannot be responsible for the failure of vintage components in 20-to-50-plus year old amps. Shipments will require signature on delivery, no exceptions.  If there is damage, the buyer must retain all packing materials intact and picture them immediately and send them to sales@maharsvintageguitars.com.  Less than 1% of our shipments are damaged in transit, and we are committed to making sure your item arrives safely, but we are taking these additional measures to make sure you are happy with your purchase.
