Todd | Re: Moding a bassman 70 to tweed. Do you plan on modding to a tweed Bassman and/or BF Bassman or just any old tweed and/or BF amp? It's hard to say which is better -- tweed vs. BF -- unless you compare specific models and what sound you want. Either way, modding a Bassman 70 into a tweed or BF amp is going to be a MAJOR undertaking, meaning it is going to require a rebuilding of the amp rather than a little mod because the Bassman 70 has very little in common with most desirable tweed or BF amps. The Bassman 70 IS a great amp for mods and for homebrewing your own designs and ideas upon, but getting it to authentically resemble a tweed Bassman and/or BF Bassman is going to be expensive and probably not worth it. You'd be financially better off buying a tweed or BF kit from one of the repro manufacturers than purchasing the Bassman 70 and "converting" it. Just my two cents. TJK |
