Thanks Warren, I think you'd really like the Allen/master volume Bassman head if you're into blues. T>here are a lot of blues tones in this amp between the Tweed and plexi tones. Let me guess on what amp your getting.Here are my guesses.That's a great sounding Bassman!
I had been planning on getting one, but I have to hold off on it for a little while since my GAS for something else got in the way.
Anyway, good thread topic and I thought I'd keep it going. Keep them coming!
Very nice creamy singing tone. I'm now very curious. What amp is it? Can you give me a link to their website?Hahaha, none of those.. bit you're close. It's a dumble tone. Here's a teaser:

Wait for 15-20 seconds until the solo starts.![]()
Sweet Warren, can't wait to hear some clips when you get to know the amp and get to dial in some sweet tones.Here's what it is... 1982 Kitty Hawk Standard ODS Spirit. Apparently they went out of business after borrowing heavily from Boogie and Dumble

Any links for how to have a post PI master and what value/taper pot to use?Convert the Bass channel to Marshall w/ cathode driver tone stack. Have the best of both worlds. BF Fender on one channel, Marshall on the other. Add a post PI Master Volume to make the amp much more versatile.
Tell me where I can get a Bassman style amp PTP wiring and does all that my Allen/master volume modded amp does for $ 500 and I'll buy. I'd be glad to get one. I bet you can't point me to one. Anyway I've had this mod done to many BF Bassman heads and it's never cost me more than $500. I know a local amp guy that does it for me for almost nothing. That's why I do this, and the fact that there's still hundreds of BF Bassman heads still out there.i personally think modding blackface fenders is like burying history...
kinda like what happened to all those marshall plexi and metal face amps
anyways there are so many clone buliders out there that have these circuits down.... start there and mod there
makes sense to me

+1 I don't see the problem of modding a BF bassman with a AB165 circuit, those are very common and the circuit is a strange one for a BF amp. I do have an issues with modding an AA864 circuit since those bassman's are more rare....Tell me where I can get a Bassman style amp PTP wiring and does all that my Allen/master volume modded amp does for $ 500 and I'll buy.

OK here are some things I think can be done easy enuff.

I have been looking into that, seems to be alot of varying opinions if adding a master volume is a good thing.
