Members 30secs Posted July 22, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 22, 2010 what are the ohms out? Total load 4 OHMS. You can see it in the back picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dolf Posted July 22, 2010 Members Share Posted July 22, 2010 That can't be a '68 Bassman. The "Bassman 50" wasn't made until 1972. http://www.ampwares.com/amp.asp?id=28 A '68 Bassman would still be "blackface spec" and thus more desirable as well as more expensive. It would also say "Bassman Amp" where yours says "Bassman 50" That being said, I don't think your asking price is unfair, I just wanted to clear up the mistake involving the year of your amplifier. Also, as long as that is pre ultra-linear transformer, it can handle just about any load above 4 ohms. I was running mine @ 8 ohms, it could also do 6 ohms/etc. I wouldn't recommend ridiculous mismatches like 32 ohms and the like. FWIW, a quick google search of the serial number located on the back right side of the chassis can verify all of this information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info. The serial # is "A 66684". I guess it was made sometime between 1968-1972 (Fender tail). If someone can help me find out the exact year I'd appreciate it.

Members FlyingBloodyFrogBiscuit Posted July 22, 2010 Members Share Posted July 22, 2010 A 6XXXXX serial numbers were from 1976 I believe, which would make sense. Still a very nice amp at a good price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the amp predates 1973: "In 1973, Fender removed the "Tail" from the logo."http://superiormusic.org/page195.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 30secs Posted July 22, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 22, 2010 After some research I believe the Bassman is 1972. Sorry for the confusion. BTW is there a way to change the main heading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't always work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
