The Bassman 10 came with really cheezy Utah 32ohm 10″ers wired in
parallel. Yes I said 32ohm. I was surprised too. Had one in the shop
awhile back with 3 speakers out of four blown, froze actually. The
fourth
ohmed out at the equivalent of 32 ohms. I replaced the speaker with
MojoTone MP10RD’s wired in series-parallel for a total load of 8ohms.
Amp was totally killer. These amps are ideal canidates for a reverb add
on.
There’s plenty of room on the fiber board for components and room on the
chassis for two extra tubes. Reverb tank can fit inside the cabinet
which
is only accessable by removing at least one of the speakers. These amps
have gotten a bad rep through the years and thus can be picked up cheap.
BUT…they can be converted to sound pretty similar to a Super Reverb
for another ~ $150.

Buy the Book!

I cleaned up my tab for Sonny Boy's Help Me and made it into a short book. There's a Kindle version for 99 cents, and if you buy the paperback you get the Kindle free.
