This can not be correct, because I have a ’66 Bassman, it is labeled as having an AA864 layout, and it actually has the AA864 layout, as indicated by the presence of a bias adjustment pot and the fact that all of the components are correct to the AA864 schematic and layout sheets. It does not have a balanced bias setup, and the only modification ever made was to add the grounded three-prong line chord.
It must be the Super Bassman, built around 1970, therefore a Silverface Era creation. The head looks oversized like the Bandmaster Reverb ir the Dual Showman Reverb.
Don’t confuse power consumption wattage with speaker output wattage.Consumption numbers are near the convience a/c outlet and are with the 120v-60hz lable.The speaker wattage is under the left side speaker jack.
