| I'm borrowing one of these and find it to be a great sounding amp for steel, can hardly imagine a nicer tone than this, better than my reissue Twin with a 1501, would the Peavey (Classic 50?) version of this amp give me the same (or close) tone, anyone using these 4/10's tube amps out there, any good on the job, is it the tube rectifier making this thing get that tone? OK I'm outa here...going to eBay |

I've got an original '59 4x10 Bassman &
the tone is outrageous . I'd look into a
reissue Fender Bassman rather than a Peavey.
The Hot Rod DeVille's (with 4- 10's or
2-12's) are good also. [This message was edited by Jay Ganz on 30 April 2003 at 07:42 AM.] |

Those old Bassman amps with the 4 Jensen speakers were GREAT. I still have a Fender Twin reverb origianl black face with 2- 12" JBL's.

| Here I go again...Check out the Traynor YCV80Q. 4x10, all tube, about 90 watts, and a complete tone monster. Less money than Fender, and much better warranty. |

Any Fender prior to CBS taking over is a good product. They'll never be another Twin or Bassman like those . . so you may be right on yours.

| A Peavey Classic 50 is a good sounding amp, but it uses 4 EL84 tubes rather than 2 6L6 power tubes, so it will sound a good deal different. The Classic 50 is also set up in the preamp gain stages more for rock and roll than the bassman. |

| well I just bought a Bassman 100....4 6L6 output tubes, with the bottom, it had 2 SRO 12s and 2 Fender stock speakers, it was in the local paper, i don't know a thing about these amps, but it sounds good through a 1501 BW, I'm gonna sell the speakers and keep the head, retube it, caps etc, but still looking for a Deville or Bassman with 4 10s, the way the Bassman 4/10 sounded I was sure someone had to be using it for steel |

| I have a 4-10 Bassman reissue, slightly tweaked. Usually it's my guitar amp, but occasionally it's expedient to use it for steel (i.e. I left it in the car). It kicks *ss for my non-pedal playing, but find it lifeless for pedal steel, and it's not just because it doesn't have reverb. So, as the saying goes, YMMV. |
