70 watts? no way not with just 2 6v6s in the power section.

Wherez Waldo,

18 watts?? More like 70 watts.

SemiDriven,

The typo: 1983 not 1993

Gregory Raymond Broome,

Note: the Riveria redesigned Bassman 20 was a solid state amp with yet a 15″ speaker. It appeared in 1993. Probably was produced in numbers exceeding thousands. But this should not be confused with the short lived previous version which was a 18 watt tube driven hybrid 1981-’82. Which Fender produced in numbers of roughly 500. The cabinets look quite similar. However the Riveria solid state models faceplate is stenciled with the word ‘compact’ underneath the Bassman 20 lettering.
