Well I couldnt resist.Had a 59 Bassman until I got laid off last year.Wasnt really playing it anymore.I needed the money , so I sold it on CL .I regretted it.Love the tweed tone , but i gig with my drri now.Still I feel the urge every now and then for the big bottles and 4x10s.Sniped a LTD on fleabay yesterday for a decent price.Probably wont gig with it alot, but ya never know .Its there if I need it.First thing I am gonna do is upgrade the power tubes to JAN Phillips WGBs.Great tubes for a tweed amp.

Check with Steve at Angela Instruments -- he routinely has matched sets of mil-spec NOS Phillips 6L6's. I put a quartet into my Dual Showman last year and man does it ever sing.

Congrats on the new 5F6, Bud!

Thanks Arjay.I have dealt with Angelas in the past.The last 59 BM had a blown speaker when I bought it and found a replacement there. Great place to shop.
