Members echodeluxe Posted July 21, 2007 Author Members Share Posted July 21, 2007 here are some pics of the 78 bassman: i traded that one away. i loved that amp, but it had a few issues. a few knobs were broken, and it was beat up because it was used at a middle school. heres some pics of the 72: the 72 is in amazing condition. its really loud and it sounds great. the previous owner took very good care of it. its got NOS RCA 6L6's and a svetlana winged c 12ax7 in the phase inverter, with 2 electro harmonix 12ax7's in the preamp. no broken knobs, sounds great. the inside of the amp looks really nice too, but i havent taken any pics.

Members mastertsr Posted July 21, 2007 Members Share Posted July 21, 2007 I recently picked up one .Just the amp ,no cabinet.I bought a Bandmaster head case on ebay and a set of JJ's from Eurotubes now I'm ready to rock.I've owned at least a dozen fender amps,but sold of traded them off over the years ,so when this one came along I had to grab it. I've got less than $200 in it so I couldn't go wrong. I think the phase inverter tube should be a 12at7.you might want to check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Valtyr Posted July 21, 2007 Members Share Posted July 21, 2007 Nice! I used to have a Bassman 50 and 2X15 cab. I ran a Mesa Vtwin in front of it for distortion. It sounded great but was way too loud and bulky for my needs. I downsized to a Mesa F-30 combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Moot Posted July 21, 2007 Members Share Posted July 21, 2007 I have two Bassman 10's. One is now more of a Super Reverb, and the other is stock, except I replaced the phase-balance pot with a bias pot (easily reversed). Both still have their stock speakers, which are fine, but not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members skipstar59 Posted July 21, 2007 Members Share Posted July 21, 2007 Had a chance to pic up a '72 Bassman 10 for $250 out the door about 6 months ago. For whatever reason I didn't have the 10% down the wanted to hold it for me. Anyway, I went back the next day and it was gone. I got to try it out though and it sounded really nice and have really sweet tone at low volume. I'm still on the lookout for one.
