Really nice condition c 1970s Fender "bantam bass" amplifier, all tube, tube rectified mean and nasty vintage machine.  All original, including tilt back legs, less the conversion to a 15" baffle (great work), with nice, overbuilt eminence driver.  A big and quite necessary improvement over the short lived and much maligned stock yamaha trapezoidal speaker.  (What were they thinking?!?). Not to be confused with the bassman 10 amplifier which came out later in the 1970s, this circuit is really like an old pro amp, or a "super reverb" without the reverb.  Fully tube recto, no master volume, old, blackface, hand wired circuitry, the nice old tone.  This thing produces lovely, shimmering cleans, perfect for steel or tele, as well as wickedly creamy overdrive when pushed.  Just heaven.  Enjoy!!!!!!!
