I've restored and modified numerous Fender Amps over the past 35 years. These early 60's Small chassis heads are my favorites. The 6g6 and 6g7 bandmaster top of the list.

Love the history, really adds depth to videos and soul to equipment, thinking where it's been, what it's done and also where it's headed. 👍

The red paint you mentioned at 10:38 is surely a Red Enamel Insulating Paint from Glyptal (formerly a division of GE, but now its own company). It's commonly used on motor parts and other electrical equipment.

Thank you very much for introducing me to the amazing modified bassman and repairing it. Thirty years ago, I had a '61 blonde bassman when I was in college. However, even after graduation, I left it in the music club room, and after a while, the building was rebuilt and I lost it somewhere. It's very regrettable.

Pete was one of the greats. Great vid as usual.

Colleen i love the way you work thru problems with amps. This one will be unique and you preserved its story well and gave it your own personal touch by making things solid and dependable again. Hugs for Hank ❤️❤️

Always the best wishes for you, Hank, and your loved ones. You’d fit right in with all the old Kzoo folks at ProCo, Heritage & Gibson.

Awesome stuff, Colleen. You deserve a peerage/ title of honor. Something like _HM Regina, Ampstress Colleen of the Angels?_ I kinda like it.

The original tube rectified 6G6 is one of the best amps I’ve ever owned. Of the dozens I’ve sold over the years, it’s the one I truly miss. Mine was pristine, with the original ToneRing cabinet. I currently have an early ’64 “Tuxedo “ 6G6-B. As great as it is, I prefer the tonal qualities of the original.

I love that guitar sound!!!! So happy you were able to work on that amp!

Re Solder and De Ox helped. Mathew Sweet, himself or whomever always had great tones. I love Matt's 'Daddy Didn't Care' amp sizzle..You know, the tune in one of the Austin Powers movie... I watch just to hear the guitar amp sizzle.

I had a cream Bassman - had been burned in a fire, so the Tolex was gone. But it worked and sounded GREAT. I too it to Dumble, who was offering to modify it. He heard it and refused, saying "this amp sounds amazing, Leo Fender was a genius! Don't touch it - bring me some other crappy Fender that I can rebuild into something cool..." Sadly, I never did!

Great videos and always enjoy the unique amp education. Have also enjoyed observing your evolution of becoming a true Angeleno!

As always, I most definitely enjoy watching you work. Thank you for showing us your "Colleen Custom Pin Tightening Tool" as well as showing it in action. I've been a Fender Amp fan since 1962 as well as a Bassman fan. Thank you for giving us an in-depth look at this modified Bassman. Another great video, Colleen. Please keep them coming!!

Loving that AIMS amp in the background I used to own that same exact model and in fact once toured the manufacturing facility in Phoenix Arizona.

The Aims is pretty rare too. I have a Aims 100 watt pa head that was heavily modified to a dual channel Marshall plexi/Soldano. The amp sounds amazing.

It seems from the description likde a John Mcintyre bluesmaker overhaul. It was originally described in a guitar player magazine in the 90s as the ultimate marshall type mod for the then cheap and unwanted bassman heads.

Big thing Ken Fischer from Train Wreck use to do was 34’s in a Bassman. Just felt and sounded so frigging good after! Sometimes there can be an issue because a 34 pulls a tad more current than a 6L6. .9 on a 6L6 and anywhere’s of 1.2 to 1.4 on an EL34 depending on brand. I still like 1K’s on the screen grids, no matter what.

I saw Mathew Sweet play back in the 90's. I'm trying to remember who else was playing on the gig. Maybe I saw Pete there. I remember it sounded crunchy.
