I have a ’64 smooth blonde tolex head and cab. Tube Chart Date NF (June 1964). Chassis is ink stamped inside with TC2364 (June ’64), Filter cap board stamped FA2064 (May ’64). Tube Chart on the 6G6-B label shows 6L6 power tubes, not 5881. Also the original cab contains a pair of Utah 12″ stamped 328418.

I have two Blonde Bassman amps in the shop right now, so I wanted to add some additional details on the handles, logos, and grill cloth for these two samples. The 1962 model has the 6G6-A circuit, an oxblood grill cloth, a brown plastic dog bone handle, and a flat logo. The 1963 model has the 6G6-B circuit, a beige-brown grill cloth, a black plastic handle, and a raised chrome and black script logo.

Just a quick point here for information sake as that the 6G6 and 6G6A Bassman also came with a single 12″ speaker cabinet in 1961 and early 1962 which should be listed as well. They also came in both tube and Solid State rectifier versions.
