geoff90guitar Posted December 10, 2011 Author Posted December 10, 2011 [i]No, NOT a re-issue. Made about 1977.[/i]
cardinaljay Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 £500 for an all valve classic bass amplifier that will deliver an unmatched tone! Crazy price... this won't hang about for long. I'd have it from you, but I already have one. Good luck with the sale, but I think you'll regret selling it.
tremblap Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 ok it is just that the serial number does not match that date according to different websites, hence my question. If you find the exact date, I might be interested. thanks p
geoff90guitar Posted December 10, 2011 Author Posted December 10, 2011 Naa, thanks for your interest, can't be bothered with the time to find an EXACT date. All the best.
geoff90guitar Posted December 10, 2011 Author Posted December 10, 2011 [i]Tremblap, I'll remove the screws and draw out the chassis tomorrow, I'll need it for pics anyway, there may be a date in there.[/i] [i]Try this [url="http://www.superiormusic.com/page195.htm"]www.superiormusic.com/page195.htm[/url].[/i] [i]What date do you prefer?[/i]
EssentialTension Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 [quote name='tremblap' timestamp='1323531599' post='1464282'] Is this a 1990 reissue? [/quote] I think the1990s re-issues would have a serial starting with two letters.

geoff90guitar Posted December 10, 2011 Author Posted December 10, 2011 [i]Thanks for that. I've been gigging for over 40 years and have had the lot. This is a 70's amp.[/i]
tremblap Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Don't bother opening it for me, thanks for the further information. I'll have a think.
geoff90guitar Posted December 11, 2011 Author Posted December 11, 2011 OK, example of pots inside : 1377714, 1377716 These date to 16th week of 1977. I have highlighted about guts in an amp, you dont know what faulty repairs/circuitry, mods etc have gone on inside. Some get transformers changed which may alter the sound or power. These are the originals, so whoever buys will have a vintage/original/nice condition bassman example and you know what they say on'Flog It' about a nice piece. Email above) for further pics inside if required. Cheers, Geoff.

sixdegrees Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 Wow, these are more coveted by guitarists than by bassists. Especially the NME brigade who go nuts for them. My mate has the 70 watt version and loves it to bits. To answer DB502 - this is 100 watts of TUBE power. Not comparable to SS or hybrid watts. Good luck with the sale.
geoff90guitar Posted December 13, 2011 Author Posted December 13, 2011 Thanks sixdegrees. deanbean502, normally an amp with 2 x 6L6 power valves is 50watts. This has 4. The '100' in the amps name also refers to the valve output power - 100watts. You dont need any more power, just speakers. Cheers

Thornybank Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Geoff is a great guy. His stuff is always straight. Looks a good 'un.

Cheers [/quote] Sorry to be a bit pedantic, The 135 has 4 X 6L6s as well. But the 70s Bassman 100 are awsome, Nothing else like it only IMO of course. if I didnt already have one, I'd be interested. As has been said, hybrids with 1 pre amp valve just dont compare. I really cant understand why nobodys bitten Geofguitars hand off yet.
Oldman Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Maybe this is why [i]Thanks for that. I've been gigging for over 40 years and have had the lot. This is a 70's amp.[/i]

Slipperydick Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 70s amp, but like all valve amps, [b][i]even new ones[/i][/b], 30s technology. And tough as old boots.
geoff90guitar Posted December 20, 2011 Author Posted December 20, 2011 Still here and probably back in the pantry.
geoff90guitar Posted December 23, 2011 Author Posted December 23, 2011 I'm giving the amp an airing tomorrow night and then back into the pantry. Merry Christmas everybody.
