    I have a 1962 single speaker 12 in Jensen 1220 speakerneed handles dog bone handle and strap 4 5/8 in your suggestion

    dess schnur,

    Edit to above: the rare twin referenced above used 7355 power tubes, not 7591’s. I guess when that twin didn’t work out the PT’s were put in some G6G-B’s. If your bassman has the factory spec PT try a variac at 110V…….

    Daniel Hostak,

    In reference to your comments about Fender 125P19A power transformer in your Bassman: was the performance you liked when using 6L6 power tubes?

    Michael Aarvold,

    My ’63 ser# BP05546 came original with the lower B+ 125P19A PT. I understand a few twins were fitted with 7591’s used that PT. Anything is possible in Fenderland. I subbed a 125P7A clone while the original was rewound/reverse engineered but the sound was too clean & stiff for me. When the 125P19A came back so did the incredible tone/feel. IHOP a lower B+ with 120+ AC probably mimics the factory spec PT with early 60’s 110V.

    Daniel Hostak,

    Привет! A stock 63 Bassman will have smooth blond tolex and a wheat grill, but don t get too hung up on the cosmetics. Over the past few decades, many of them have been retolexed or had different cloth installed. These are easy things to replace unless you absolutely need a completely original amp and cab.
