I found a 1961 fender bassman on craigslist. Ive posted a question about a 1964 fender bassman and whether to pull the trigger on that. Im stuck in a pickle between a 1964 fender bassman (non original cabinet), but original head, and a 1961 fender bassman with original cabinet and speaker from 67'. Which circuit sounds better the 6g6 (1961) or 6g6b (1964)? I play blues at local bars and such. I like to also go ballsy at home when the neighbors aren't home haha. Both are around the same price which should I for my sound? I might play bass out of it once and a while when the time calls.

I'd opt for the '61 simply because the amp and cab are a matched set. But either Bassman would likely fulfill your requirements. I'd recommend not using either amp for bass instruments unless the mission were low-volume studio use.

Oh man... is this a rough blonde tolex/oxblood grille Bassman? Those are very sexy beasts, indeed!
