NAD + NCD 79/80 Bassman + 1st Gen Acoustic 106/9

Hey guys I recently picked up a new amp and cab. I got a 1979-80 Fender Bassman 135 off ebay and a first generation acoustic 106/109 off craigslist (with a Kustom K200 B 5 PA head) for a great price. I previously posted the other Acoustic 106 cab I found off craigslist and I couldn't resist making the awesome stack. The new cab is the one of the left with the hole in the grill cloth. It does go all the way into the speaker but I didn't really notice at practice levels. The new cab has a lighter blue logo than the one on the right. The grill trim on the new one is silver while the other is white. The baffle board inside the new one is screwed in while the other one was glued in. The speakers appear identical, but I haven't taken any out yet. I'm not sure which one is older, but they are obviously similarly aged. I should comment that the tone is amazing especially with my B3k. I have to gig the whole stack at some point.
