That is my rig i'm playing on it was my dad's old one. INside the amp is a sticker that says AB165 I think.

Does anybody have any info on these amps? Is the amp and speakers honestly good quality? It's all in mint condition as far as wear adn tear goes.

Also i'll be honest I think it's running the same tubes/whatever that it had in 1968 ish. So should those be replaced even If they still glow blue and it sounds good?

AB165 is the circuit designation. It's one of the circuits used in Bassman amps from '64 to '83.

As far as the tubes go, if they work and sound fine, leave em alone. There's nothing wrong with old tubes.

If you google "fender bassman ab165" you'll get all the info you need and more.

The AB165 is arguably one of Fender's better amplifier circuits. They used in quite a few amps.
