[Harp-L] Re: Bassman 50 & 135 (Buck Worley)

Hi Buck,

I'd go with the Bassman 50, it breaks up earlier and has a much warmer tone - That is the circuit that makes the famous "Bassman" sound, and with the 4-10's it'll be plenty loud enough.  You'd have to drive the snot out of the 135 to get any warmth or tone out of it.  ..which might come in handy if you just want to get even with a couple of really loud guitar players. ..LOL!     


Keep Harpin'!

List,
I have an opportunity to purchase a Bassman 50 & a Bassman 135. I see they have solid state rectifiers 
Are either of these amps good harp amps? I am looking for a replacement for my '66 Bassman. I have a 4x10 cab that I would use. The Bassman 50 is in mint condition and is the AB165 circuit. That is the circuit of my '66
Regards,
 Buck
