Anyone familiar with the second volume control mod on the Bassman.
There is a used one with this mod at a local shop here for a decent price but I'd like to know more about it first.

Depends on who modded it. The master is probably between the last preamp tube and the P/I. It allows you more preamp distortion at lower volume. Pretty much blasphemy though doing it to a bassman. Good sounds from the bassman are a combo of preamp and power amp distortion.

If it is a channel jumper mod, the two volume controls allows you to mix tones from the normal and the bright channel.

Thanks rjake. I was thinking the same thing. Even though it's a reissue, I would rather have it stock.
