| Fender Bassman: the classic, and the reissue I recently did a head transfer/cabinet swap.
Here's a view of original-versus-reissue shots of the Fender Bassman.
The only "new" components in the classic 54-ish Bassman are two electrolytics. You can see the reissues' PCB and such.
Both the owner and I think the original Bassman sounds better than the reissue.
I put the original head unit into the reissues cabinet, because the old cab is literally falling apart, and had some major resonance/vibration problems. Even with the new cab and reissue Jensens, the old head still sounds better.
