yes, i'm a bassman whore, too. i just LOVE those things damn.
over at the plexi palace forum i posted a thread that got quite long, about the rise (and rise) of the bassman. they are -i think- the LAST ol' fenders that can STILL be found for cheap. and not THAT cheap, usually. some 3 years ago a SF bassman was $100 or $200, max.
now they're in the $400-600 range. geez.
i have a blonde '63 and a BF '65. have a lead to another minty '65 and a '72 SF bassman 50 ($600 for BOTH). man i need to sell my Super-Sonic SOON!!!
