Amps Fender Bassman 100T

We finally finished this amp. My son spotted it on ebay about 6 months ago. The cab of the head was all busted away except the top. He made a new cab with dovetailed select pine (no knots). i contributed the tubes from by Twin Reverb since I bought all new for my amp when I got it. I like Tung Sol not GT.

I found the Fender 2x15" bass cab on craigslist last summer for $100, and got 2 high power solid state amps too. The speaker cab was in bad shape, so my son picked the gold tone grill cloth and used that for both cabs. It has a Peavey Black Widow, and a Gauss 15" speaker in it.

This Bassman 100T sells new for $1400, just for the head. It's cool, it is 2 channels and has Fender auto bias adjust. No need to match tubes. They have a microprocessor that adjusts the bias for each of the 4 power tubes, so everybody matches. If they are too far out it shuts down those tubes, and is supposed to also be able to detect a faulty tube, and protect the amp by shutting down that pair.

Here is a short video of it in action. It sounds really nice to my ears.

That's my son playing.
