anotherfreak2 Posted August 15, 2005 Posted August 15, 2005 I have a customer that wants to move this thing. As far as I can see without dropping the chasis it is all origional down to the old RCA tubes. I think it is in need of some love, caps and filters are probably in serious need of replacement. but the tolex and grill are in extremely good shape. I will be taking pics and talking to some friends later, I just thought I'd put it out here first. Old amps are definately not my bag, this is just a favor for a friend.Hello Monday!
anotherfreak2 Posted August 15, 2005 Author Posted August 15, 2005 This is the head and 212 cab w/tiltback legs.
anotherfreak2 Posted August 15, 2005 Author Posted August 15, 2005 It looks like this The cab is supposed to have Jensen C12N speakers in it. I am teaching all day, and I have a meeting tonight, but I'll try to get more info tomorow morning, thanks for all the info so far!
straightblues Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 Let us know what he is looking for in terms of price. I have an early 65 that I love. If the price is right, I might be interested in a backup. Please also tell us know what the tube chart says for the model number (This will be helpful even though any Bassman player knows the tube charts aren't always accurate on these things.)
anotherfreak2 Posted August 16, 2005 Author Posted August 16, 2005 So I had a little time to go through the Bassman this morning, and here's what I've got: everything looks stock, since I know crap about old F amps that just means the guts look older than I am
anotherfreak2 Posted August 16, 2005 Author Posted August 16, 2005 Sorry, I'll have to do it this way: Label, is this helpful on the model, or even the year? How do I know anything about these guys? Head Candy, these look old, Pine? this does explain how the 212 cab is pretty light Speakers? can someone help with what these mean, I know there is a mfc code in there. Guts, this looks like this would be easy to work on, there's an adjustable pot for biasing, that's cool! No GROUND!!!! that's gonna have to change! The only thing that sends a flag up is the fuse has been replaced from a 2 amp slo-blow to a 30, which makes me think it may have been blowing fuses at one time or another. Is something like this worthy of being re-worked? As it sits it sounds very sterile and flat. In proper working condition do they sound good enough to make it worthy of dropping some time/money into it? The cool factor of it being old means nothing to me if it doesn't sound good. as for the price, he just called and said he wanted $700 for it.
anotherfreak2 Posted August 22, 2005 Author Posted August 22, 2005 Yup Guss has got it, but I am having some issues with the seller, go fig... easy favors are neither easy or favors
Guest Buck Dharma Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 YupGuss has got it, but I am having some issues with the seller, go fig... easy favors are neither easy or favors I hear that! I'm a Network Engineer and every time I do someone a favor with their computer they think I should fix it for the rest of my life. I started just saying no the first time. Good luck with the sale.
