Hey Gale, I haven't run across a black-face Fender Bassman in a long while. You can probably find one on eBay, not sure what they cost these days. I used to have a silver face Bassman. It sounded fantastic, absolutely best tone I've ever heard on a bass head up to that point. Problem was...

Hey biffoweasel, I'm curious to know what kind of bass you're playing. O.S. makes both a ported and sealed 115 cabinet. Looks like you opted for the ported, I opted for the sealed. I'm currently playing a Carvin 5 string bass with active/passive pickups, neck-through construction. This...

Hey Gale, agreed in principle. I used to have a 60's series Bassman. It was rated at 45 watts (I think), two separate input channels. It ran a pair of 6L6s, and had plenty of thump. The nice thing about this amp was that you could set the pre-amp to a clean setting and it would sound...

Hey Ukiah, happy to elaborate. My experience is almost solely with the tube amps, I'm not up on the latest solid state designs at all. I believe the circuit several of these amps are bassed on (pun intended) was an early RCA design. Fender created the Bassman amp in the late 50's, and...

I own one of Old School's 115 sealed bass cabinets. It has a fairly beefy 15" with a mid- and cross-over. Soooo ... just to confuse things a little, I use it with an Old School Classic Reverb guitar amp. Stick with me here ... If you open this head up and look at the circuit (and if you...
