Peter S	Re: reissue 59 bassman-any good? Gary, If you get 5 or 6 original Bassmans in your shop at once you are likely to find alot of factory built differences between them. Also, the 5F6 is a little different in that the feedback resistor and presence circuit is tied to the bottom of the middle control and the brown and blue primary OT leads are reversed. I love these. Also, some had a 25uf bypass cap on the second gain stage. Peter S
