Old ones, one 6L6 says RCA and the other doesn't say anything. Since it's on ebay right now I just plugged it in to see how it's doing...running through a Hot Rod Deluxe speaker with a strat. Sure leaves the Deluxe amp in the dust.

Anything you'd be willing to part with for $7?

Sure, I'll make you my favorite cocktail:
A warm cup of lard with a hair in it.

I have a 1967 Blackface and love it to death. I was thinking about buying another one though

Just out of curiosity, which channel do you use? I seem to settle on Normal/bright with 5's for tone and let it do its thing.

[xstatic]

It all depends on what player, what guitar, what style, what mic and pre I use, and how we all feel that day. That being said, channel 2 with the bright switch on gets used the most often. I also use it with the original fender 2x15 cab, so that probably makes a difference as well

also just out of curiosity...I have a late '70's Fender Bandmaster head....It looks alot like the bassman except it has vibrato built in....I havent played with it much lately. Anyone know how it compairs to the bassman???

Not much in common. 'We' used to consider Bandmasters to be like Super Reverbs and Showmans like Twin Reverbs...of course there's a lot more to it than that. Old Bassmans were bass amps till it was figured out that they were great guitar amps too...a little fatter and more tube-y at a lower volume.
