The trouble with the Bassman 20 is the transformers. The output transformer is from a Princeton amp and not up for the task of reproducing bass, in fact the amp purposeful rolls off bottom end to stop early distortion.
I traded a 2014 epiphone mini 335 style for mine, extremely happy with the trade.
James, I thoroughly agree with Zach and yourself concerning the amp’s actual worth. I would be pleased to own one no matter how many were made.
