"Bass-Wreck" or "Wreck-Man" Updated

[Fischerman]

Not that it matters but the best sounding Express circuit I ever built was in a late BF Bassman (with ~440 on the plates). But I just sloppily wired it in as a quick test in the Bass channel...leads going all over. It oscillated at really high volume settings but with the volume on 6 or so it didn't oscillate and was wild yet musical. I've never been able to replicate that (I've only tried a few times though). I later gutted that amp due to a conductive board and just made it a Fender Normal channel (no reverb or vibrato) and an AA864 Bass channel tweaked for guitar.

Seriously, if this is anything like the bassmans I have worked on in the past, even using good new preamp tubes (tung sol) and good EL34's (hope your replaced PT will handle 'em), you'll have sonic Nirvana.

Good point about the PT. I figure since it's already been replaced, it won't be bastardizing it too much to replace it again. I just hope there's something on it to identify it.
