I just saw one of these behemoths at a pawn shop. 100 watts of tube terror? This is like, the ultimate bassman! That wooly cranky sound with HEADROOM!?!?
I feel like I missed out on somehting magical when i was amp shopping.

A friend of mine has one of these, but it has a burnt out OT from a shorted power tube, so there's likely a shit load of things cooked on it. I'd love to fix it up but it's too much work for what it is.

Yeah, I suppose I didn't mention, when it actually worked it sounded as you would expect, a Silverface Bassman, but FUCKING LOUD.
If I didn't have a million other more important music projects going that need my money right now, I'd love to buy the thing off of him and fix it up. It sounded great.

that's the shit right there. To get comparable balls you're going to have to get a Sunn 2000s or model T

Weird but I find the bigger watts are readily available in Australia and the likes of Bassman 10/50watter Bassmans are a bit more scarce.
I've played through a 135'er and yeh... farggen LOWD.
