[Harp-L] Revalve the beast.... Fender Bassman 120 top

[MundHarp@xxxxxxx]

Well for some years I used a Fender Bassman 120 tube amp top, through two  x 
2 x 12" speaker cabs... I still own it...
It was ok, but I could never set the volume over about "3"... It was simply  
too loud! I guess the "Twin" is even more prone to feed back.
Anyone got any ideas to revalve (retube) the beast, just to tame it a  little?
The TONE of the Bassman 120 is better than the Blues DeLuxe 40 watt 1x12"  
combo that I use these days.
It's simply the Blues Deluxe feeds back less... By the way, I mostly use an  
Astatic JT-30 "Crystal Balls" Mic.

I love  Charlie Musslewhite's tone on the Delta Hardware  CD.  At the St.  
Louis SPAH I asked him what amp he used to make  that recording, he  told me 
it was 
a red knob Twin, so now you have a place to go  to  hear that amp in the 
hands 
of a great player.  Our conversation   didn't go further into gear, so I have 
no idea of what (if any) mods   had been done to the amp.  Oddly enough, 
considering my 25 years as  a  custom microphone fabricator, I didn't get i
nto what 
mic he was  blowing  through.  

Now I want an Evil Twin... but want no  part in lugging it  around.
