I'm possibly getting a 2005 Bassman LTD this weekend to pair up with my SRRI, Any issues of that year I should be concerned with? It looks to be in excellent condition but won't know until I drive there(weather permitting)

Most of the folks I know who have 5F6-A re-issues report pretty positive ownership experiences with the amp -- solid, dependable, and well-built. The LTD version adds a variable-bias pot to the chassis which makes output-tube swaps a breeze.

I'm kind of anxious about getting my hands on it and see how it does. My new Deluxe Players Strat should be here Friday as well.

Play it at decent levels and check for rattling tubes, the one I just tried sounded like an angry wasp playing certain notes.
