Here is my 1960 bassman.What a great amp this has been .This is one of the last ones made,tube chart is JL ,which is December 1960.Had been professionally recovered before I purchased it.This amp has been serviced by a well known  amp tech in Nashville and is 100% up and running.One speaker is original, a P10Q .There are two p10q's and two p10r's.All have recently been reconed by Gordon Speakerman in Washington state.He is the absolute best there is.The codes on the speakers are as follows:P10q 220527,lower left.P10q 220045 lower right ( original to the amp). p10r upper left 220915,and p10r upper right 220937.As shown in the pictures , the numbers and letters on the chassis is 98% there,shiny and very clean.The chassis number is BM04396,making it one of the last ones ever made.Im only selling this amp because bills are coming up and I need to thin the herd some.It has small bottle NOS 6l6 Sylvania tubes and some nice preamp tubes,new gz34.These tubes are worth a few bucks themselves.Tweed is in excellent condition.Both back panels appear to be newer,not original.The reissue grill cloth has 2 small tears in it,but not enough to worry about.All transformers all 100% original.Choke number is 606044.you can see the PT and the OT are original also.Someone did a minor mod on the amp,looks like they put a bias pot in there.Im not an amp expert so im not sure exactly what they did.It shows in the pics.I have two yellow .022 astron tone caps that i will send with the amp if the new owner wants them.They may have drifted some but seem to work fine.The West Caps that are in there now sound better.This amp really sounds incredible.I hate to sell it, but things come up.All questions  are welcomed. I know what these amps are bringing,so please don't ask for a lower price.If you are serious, we will talk.Compare prices that other sellers are asking for their tweed bassman amps and you will realize that mine is a bargain.Thanks for looking.Bid with confidence.I have a 100% positive feedback.Look at the other prices out there and see that this price is more than fair.Buyer will pay shipping which should be around $75-$100.No extra fees. I have a good shipping box.I  reserve the right to end the auction early. Thank You and good luck.
