Corwin	Re: BF Bassman sounds gritty. I just got an AB165 the other day. it distorts above 3 also. with a Dimarzio Super 3 pickup(heavy in the mids), it does the James Hetfield Garage Inc disc 1/S&M tone nicely and comes close to Iommi's tone. good dirty amp, but don't expect too much clean out of it, especially if the 220K outboard feedback resistors were removed like mine were before I bought it.
