Bronco	Re: Best bassman circuit The Bassman 5F6-A is the best IMO. Thats what early Marshalls were modeled after, I believe. Also the Sovtek MIG-50. The Reissue '59 Bassman is supposed to use that circuit, but it is on a PCB, making a signifacent loss of tone from what I hear. I think the RI Bassman sounds great, I can't imagine what a real one would sound like! I am 15 and I play Blues and eventually my rig will be a '62 Strat, a real '63 Fender Reverb Unit and a real '59 Fender Bassman. Thats all! No Pedals, Signal Processing, ETC.
