Balthazar built the top head with a different output transformer and KT66 tubes for more headroom and a slightly thicker/smoother tone. The other's a stock FN50 with the chimey EL34s.

The top cab is 4x10" wired for 2L/2R stereo with creambacks on top and alnico golds underneath. Bottom cab is a stock 2x12" with creambacks.

Now I'm thinking of selling a few amps to make that Hiwatt happen...

What's the story with that cab? Stripped and dyed? 4x10?

77 or 79 (I can’t remember right now) SE4123, loaded with a quad of 1982 G12T-75s. Original grille cloth, stripped and painted green by the previous owner.

Sometimes run it into a Morgan 212 fitted with WGS Reapers, and the Bassman is typically paired with a Sound City L410H.
Look what you've done to me! That dr504 stuck in my head for too long.

Mojotone. I've been pretty happy with stuff from them in the past and it seems pretty accurate overall.
