I got my acoustic stuff where I want for the moment. First your mind starts to wander, then you start doing research, then you start watching the bay for what they are going for. Then something tells you to bid and you know the rest.
A new electric project, no not a guitar but I figured before these things are out of my price range I better get one.
Can't tell ya how many times I read quotes like the following.
"For what it's worth, as a guitar player I like the Bass side of the amp way more than the Normal side. The extra gain stage, and the position of the treble control inside the third gain stage, makes this amp really dynamic and toneful. There is a lot of power in a Bassman amp because of the big output transformer. But rather than being "too clean" like some other high output Fenders, the ability to heat things up on the Bass side by boosting the level of the Treble control just a bit makes this amp scream like no other Fender amp ever."

Its a fixer upper, want it for a player anyway & theres an amp tech in the area that does "mods" to die for, play it one way full out then switch to boutique mode for home.

Great find! I love playing through a Bass head! It really adds body to the tone. You'll enjoy it!

I had one of these a few years back that I actually ran a bass through and I have to say I would not have traded it for any other amp head on the market.

I can only imagine the fantastic sound of a guitar through it as mine died prior to picking up my first electric guitar. :(

Great find!

Oooh ... have fun with that. BTW, that's exactly how Mike Ness gets his sound.
