The Bassman, OTOH should get a nice crunchy break well below 8 on the dial. By 1961, however, the Bassman had evolved beyond all recognition. 3 DrRobert Les Paul Forum Member Joined Messages 6,046 I had a BF Bandmaster head, and that sucker just about wouldn't break up. First introduced in 1952 as a 1x15 combo, the tweed Bassman hit its stride in the late ’50s as the narrow-panel 4x10 5F6A combo, which achieved major crossover success with six-stringers and became known as one of the greatest guitar amps of all time. The default power tubes are a matched pair of the JJ 6L6GC’s but you can configure this kit to use the JJ 5881’s or even the JJ 6V6S’s by clicking on. This kit contains three ECC83S's and a balanced ECC81 for the phase inverter in V4. A lot of people are down on this amp versus the bassman because the smaller output transformer gives it a weaker sound and less headroom (by their standards).
