SOLD
Bought this off Ebay last December.
I don't know anything about vintage heads. Here's the description from the seller's listing.
EARLY 68 BASSMAN HEAD
ALL ORIGINAL TRANSFORMERS AND PARTS OTHER THAN BASIC SERVICE.
Has all new Groove tubes i just took out of a new 57 reissue tweed twin,the 6L6 GE are made on the original GE equipment. They sound good,but i wanted old tubes in the twin.
This bassman really kicks now.
TRANSFORMERS DATE 7/37.
MUST BE a very early SILVER PANEL AMP. ALUMINUM TRIM,ALL EXCELLENT SHAPE,SOUNDS VERY GOOD.
FIRST CHANNEL HAS A TWEED MOD,EASILY REVERSED. BUT IT SOUNDS GOOD.
NO EXTRA HOLES.
SECOND CH. IS STOCK.
SERVICED IN THE PAST AND WORKS FINE......has hold down hardware on bottom.... HAND WIRED QUALITY AMP THAT IS EASY TO MOD AND SOUNDS GREAT AS IS.
The tone is great, but I have no use for a 50w tube bass head that is more suited for guitar. Plus, I have access to a Bassman 100.
Here's a thread I started with some better info from those in the know: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=499674
BTW - The Tweed Mod seems to be a guitar thing that allows for quicker break up or overdrive. At least that's what I can assess from playing my passive Jazz through that channel and comparing to the standard channel. I can pretty much reach Larry Grahamish fuzz\overdrive without any effort in that channel while the standard channel remains somewhat clean.
$400 OBO, shipped, CONUS lower 48 only, Paypal friendly
Email, PM, Smoke signals, Morse code, whatever for pics.
