Oh, just a well-loved 1959 Fender Bassman in for service. No big deal...

All I can say is...the legends are true! Pretty much all the caps and resistors were changed but it has original iron, old speakers, original cab, and just sounds so much more ‘alive’ than any of the reissues or clones I’ve played. It’s unreal.

Lolz! This guy was retweeded in the 80’s before the current owner bought it. Other than just peeling off everywhere, the tweed is actually installed backwards. The outside is on the inside and the stuff you see on the outside is supposed to be the glued side.

Man, this tune is apropos to SO MUCH of what's going on in the world today! And it's still hard for me to believe that 3/5 of the Wilburys aren't with us anymore. :cry:
