It's the 50 watt 4X10' tweeds from the '50's that are considered the holy grail for guitarists, not the 2X12" or15". Fender has made a reissue of this, but I have no idea if they're any good. The old ones are probably the most valuable of any vintage amp.
Thank the good Lord someone pointed this out. I don't think anyone's goin around with the Bassmans from the late 60s / 70s that had a separate head. The ones guitarists hail as the best guitar amp ever are the 59-early sixties 50 watt 4x10" combo amps.
With a separate reverb tank, they make a very nice guitar amp. It is essentially the same as the Blues DeVille's, without the overdrive or reverb. Of course the elctronics are slightly different in the DeVille, but the general idea is there both in speakers, wiring, and tube compliment.
As for bass, they can push some air, but honestly, I don't trust playing my bass through my 59 Bassman... even with the electronics replaced, I am still playing through the original Alnico Jensens, and I don't want to blow those things out
