And Rhythm and Solos sound great when a good clean tone is used, Especially with almost any quality Fender Tube Amp. I love trying to get a good balance of a clean tone with an ever so slightly warmed up tube, so the notes have some body to them and are not thin and wiry, But are mostly to the clean side.

Nah, you can play a bass through a guitar amp all day. It’s a pretty common practice in Nashville studios to get punchier low mids for recordings. The whole “bass through a guitar amp is bad for the speakers” thing is more or less a myth. Just don’t dime the master volume all the time.

Fender's reverb adds an additional gain stage in the preamp, and that's what's missing. I've always found their non-reverb amps to sound a bit too sterile for my tastes.

If you ever come across a Fender Vibrosonic Reverb, I think you'd love one. It was originally in a package with a lap steel, but they take pedals and regular electrics extremely well. It's basically a Twin with 15, a stock master volume, and the closest thing to a linear volume pot I've ever seen on a Fender. Keep everything, you'll want it if you're ever tracking in the studio, and if you feel like it offer to let people hire you to show up with badass vintage amps as an "expert/rental service". Studios and guitars will thank you.

[@npg68]

Only thoughts I have is unless your trailer is locked up inside a shed or garage - spend another 10 to 15 mins when you get home from a gig or rehearsal and unload them into your house. That 15 mins of inconvenience is nothing compared to discovering all your gear is gone the next morning.

[@RedGibsonsRock]

Fender put D140F's in bass cabs and D130F's in guitar cabs. I'd "look under the hood" before letting your bass player plug in, especially if he plays an active bass or a 5-string. D130's are tough but you'd hate to blow one! And...I'd take it to a band rehearsal before passing final judgement. Sometimes what sounds a little dry or harsh alone is what works in a band mix. I definitely liked the sounds you were getting from that guitar/amp combo!

In 1970 I used a Dual Showman with a Fender Twin, which provided the reverb. It was a lot of gear to haul around. As the ‘70’s rolled on I sold the DS and bought a Marshall.

[@Wardell43]

So, I got a Red Knob Twin that I have a love/hate relationship with. Mostly my fault. So I got a small annoying hum and once again, I thought I could get rid of it. so I started swapping tubes with some of the older ones that I have and it seemed to be getting better. So I thought that I would spray down the tube sockets with some OLD TV tuner spray which left a residue!!!!!! and of course the hum got obnoxious so I bought 2 JJ 12ax7"S" tubes and a 12 at7 and replace the front row next to the 6l6's and sometimes it was great and the next time I turned it on the dogs next door called the cops on me. So I messed around with the back row and finally went out and bought 3 more 12ax7"S" and another 12at7 so all the preamp tubes were new and once again the dogs called the law and sent me a vet bill for psychological counselling for 6 beagles. so I began putting the old tubes back in and changing them this way and that way and in the Process, I began picking up Private conversations from the XI fellow over there in Red China. Any how right in the middle of when he was saying he was going to start bombing, The amp farted and blew a fuse in my friggin Laney amp that was off, but plugged into the same power strip. Down 2 Amps Dead in the water....well I got a couple more. but I unplugged all of the crap and opened up the Laney and was relieved to see it was only a fuse and It worked fine. But the Twin was dead. I could turn it on it it made all kinds of crappy sounds but no guitar signal. So it sat for 2 weeks until tonight So 20 years ago, I salvaged out a Hammond M3 for about 30 12ax7 and 30 or so 12au7. Well I took out all of the JJ 12ax7"s" and put the Baldwin 12ax7 in and she cranked up, spit out some oil and began humming like a kitten. So it's sounding great again. I've been using the JJ12ax7"s" in my other amps and also have a few 12ax7"MG"s in an amp or 2 without any issue Now I might have bought a bad tube which I'll check out tomorrow, But I'm going to leave the Green Baldwin(supposedly Sylvania) 12ax7 tubes in the Red Knob "The Twin". I like the amp when it runs good. I also run a Small 80's Fender Bassman 212 with 80 watt Celestions to go with the 100 watt Celestions in the The Twin. I'm almost 68 years old, and I love those older Fenders. I could kick my ass for the amps that I sold off over the years. I also have 2 50 watt Laney's (VC50 and GH50L) that I love and a Peavey VK112 that I can test my 12ax7's with

Jump a short cable from the 2nd input of the Normal channel to input of the Vibrato channel and run them both together in order to push the preamp tubes. That will get you more of that fat overdrive sound you want out of this one. Since it isn't a reverb model, you should (hypothetically) be able to jump the two channels together without it being out of phase. It won't hurt the amp to try. Plug into the first input and then run a short cable from the second input on the Normal channel into the first input of the Vibrato channel.

I've seen pics of the Yardbirds playing what I'm sure are rented backline Dual Showman Reverbs in 1968 in Cincinnati. What was interesting is that they had the heads sitting on the floor in front of the cabs. I wondered about that, till I realized that at the volume they were probably playing at, the heads would probably vibrate right off the cabs. I most associate DSR's with Ted Nugent. Loud and bright.

[@gimmeeinboxback3860]

They are narrow and top heavy when you have the head stacked on top. The heads had slippery metal feet on the bottom. All it would take is a good yank on the cable to bring the whole thing crashing down. Also they were very expensive back in the day, adjusted for inflation they would have cost around $8,000 in 2019.
