Is this a point to point amp I have?
Sorry for the link, but here's the pic...

http://picasaweb.google.ca/vendo44/B...L2gL_337aCugE#

Its a 70s silverface Bassman I'm thinking of selling. Just took it apart to clean it and it had me wondering. All of my other amps are new with PCBs.

Just wondering, thanks for your input

On a side note; i have a bassman20 that looks almost identical to that. Smoking amps..Yours is out of a combo right? Ironically i think yours is higher powered, mine is 2 6v6's. You selling it?

... but most people (mistakenly) call turret board and eyelet construction point-to-point. True PTP construction attaches components from tube socket to tube socket or from control to control. It can be a nightmare to service.

Just call it hand wired and you'll be fine.
