This is one of the first amps rewired by George Alessandro for the public.
According to Bill Finnegan from Klon pedals, he was at a music trade show (NAMM or the like) in late 1995 or early 1996 when he started talking to George. Bill brought up that he had just acquired a new 1959 Fender Bassman Reissue 4x10 combo amp. George convinced Bill to let him rewire the amp section, which he did for free.
I bought this amp without knowing the history of it, and played it for about a year, gigging occasionally. I had a head case custom made by Mojotone, and had a 1/4" speaker output jack installed by Tom from AZTECH Electronics. The tolex has minor wear, but the amp is in pristine condition.
You can hear the amp in action as the guitar in the left channel on this recording:
