 going backwards
picked up a 72 Bassman head today.
I figured why not.
I traded it for my LP Special with hum buckers. I got that very cheap and had asked this guy about this baseman a bunch of times, this time we both needed something so it worked. Played it for 2 hours this afternoon.
Yeah it does as claimed.

 Re: going backwards
I dig those, they can be made to make proper rock noises. What are you running it through for a cab?

 Re: going backwards
I played a silverface Bassman head once. I really liked its warm, punchy and loud clean with just a whisper of grit. So basically I'm jelly.

 Re: going backwards
Nice! How are you setting it/running it? Cranked out like or cleanly?

 Re: going backwards
I am curious as well. I can tell you a '72 Super sounds glorious, but I can't speak for the Bassman.

 Re: going backwards
well, I haven't had the time to really crank her up, well the time with everyone out of the house. so I am running her clean and using a Timmy and King Of Tone in front for the rawks  Very warm and the cleans, well, yes they do all they are cracked up to do. I would love a spring verb innit, but I am using my timeline with a hint of delay so its good. Very happy with this trade

 Re: going backwards
I dig the concept of using pedals for dirt through a clean amp.
That's why I have a Twin. I only have 3 amps now, the Twin, the old indestructible Stereo Chorus, and my Recto.

 Re: going backwards
It can work. I used to gig with an OCD through an AC30. My home jamming rig is a Bogner Uberschall preamp pedal through a li'l 15-watt Vox, and it works. One of my friends has taken to using an Empress Multidrive through an Orange something-or-other for doomstuff, and his tone's great. Just another way of getting there.

 Re: going backwards
fuck.
So primitive.
I was playing Tumblin Dice last night, Tele>Analogman KoT> TC Hall of Fame for Spring verb.
Nailed the tone.
Being able to bet a little dirt on top of the bassman without being screaming loud.
