i have a fender bass cabinet silver in front has fender logo its a 2x12 but not for sure year it was made numbers on speaker are 220648 023119 c12na c82206 any help would be great indentifying this.

The speaker is a Jensen C12NA made in the 48th week of 1966, which was standard that year for the Bassman Amp. If you can post the cab's dimensions I may be able to determine more. Pics would be nice as well.

11x26x39

That's a rare variation of the Bassman enclosure made for one year only (1966). Likely the speaker(s) are original to the cab.

yeah they look pretty original to me.what would this cab be worth? i am using this cab with a peavey 200 h head sounds pretty good. i do not know how to post pics.that is a pic on my profile.

The value would be contingent upon the cab's condition -- both structural and cosmetic. A surcharge could be added if the speakers are marked "Fender/Jensen" on their labels.

The C12NA was originally rated for 50 watts program material. Thus, a pair shouldn't really be used with an amp whose output exceeds 100 watts RMS.

This is my 66 Bassman Cab with C12N original speakers in it. These are the Fender Jensen labels Arjay was referring to.

yeah it does one of my speaker label is missing but thats it.i had the back cover off earlier to get # and i noticed my top speaker is a little different so most more than likely one has been changed.im not for sure.but the top one looks like an oxford

An Oxford speaker will be marked "465-XXX" to identify its brand and when it was made. The typical Oxford speaker for a vintage Fender Bassman cab would be the 12T6 or 12T8 (this speaker was also OEM for the Twin Reverb). Oxfords typically do not have a company decal or logo on them but they'll often be seen with the silver-and-blue Fender label (either square in shape or as a "donut") affixed to the magnet.

Here is what the original style amp head would look like. Might be impossible to find the exact original head, but you should be able to find one on CL or Ebay...for around $600 or so.

And here's the type of cab owned by the OP, mated to a standard blackface Bassman head......



This transitional enclosure was introduced in the spring of 1966 and lasted only until January of '67 when the "big-box" cab (also shared by the Bandmaster) appeared. Unlike the original "small-box" design, this obscure variant was ported in an attempt to maximize the increased interior volume of the box.

One day they shall name a GREAT city after me, and they shall call it LINNINGRAD

I wouldn't know -- the music room is not mine (nor the amp).
