Here's another "hack job" PTP...FYI it's a Matchless.

That being said, $5K for a juiced up Bassman is insane.
The PTP job looks fine, but the price is just off the charts insane. The box is even made of cheap maple plywood with a thin birdseye veneer. Look on the sides and corner where the veneer has actually chipped off. For 5K the builder couldn't use a plank of real birdseye so it doesn't look terrible when you bump it on something? Beyond that, it's just a Fender Tweed clone with a few mods and very standard off the shelf components. No real thought or circuit design went into this. What is the buyer paying for, exactly?

I still think it looks like shit.. but at least matchless has a proven sound to go with it... and is not $5k.

Right angle bends and straight component legs mean jack shit if the wrong components are sitting next to each other.

Pretty much. I think that the theory is that the wiring is as direct as it can be, enhancing tonez, but the fact is that for the most part a properly designed amp of any construction type can sound equally awesome. I personally prefer the stability of turret strips/boards, and they're still pretty easy to maintain.
