A true player-grade special, this is a genuine 5F6-A Bassman amp, now housed in a modern reproduction 4x10 cabinet. Thankfully, under the hood lies a mostly original circuit with all original Triad transformers—so the vintage tone remains well intact.
Internally, the power cord and electrolytic caps have been replaced, along with the screen grid resistors. While two coupling caps have been changed, most of the preamp circuit is still original. Four of the pots have been replaced, and the cap on the presence knob has also been swapped. Additionally, the bias circuit has been updated from the original selenium diode, with a trimmer pot and 1-ohm resistors added to the power tube cathodes for easier biasing. There's likely to be more hardware changed - See circuit pictures for further details. Thankfully, all of the original parts are stashed in a bag in the back of the amp, ready to be passed on to the next owner.
Overall, this is a fantastic value for a Bassman that’s original where it matters, but offered at a significantly reduced price compared to fully original! This would be a good option for taking on the road, without risking the abuse on a fully vintage piece.
