Bob	Gretsch info Schematic 6159 wanted - Hello all - Great Forum - I was wondering if anyone could point me to a schematic or any reference materials on a Gretsch 6159 amp - I just purchased this amp (at a garage sale of all places) and it sounds wonderful -2 channel (bass with regular and bright inputs and a guitar / accordian channel with tremolo) - 2 x 12" jensens - It shows listed with a name of 'Dual Bass' on a website I found though the amp itself has no name on it but the #6159 stamped on the inside of the cab. - It has seperate preamp (top of cabinet) and power amp (bolted to the base of the cab) - 2 x 6L6's with tube rectifier and 4 12AX7 preamp tubes - I figure it ought to be near 25 ~ 35 watts - Would like to know more - If anyone could pass along additional info it would be greatly appreciated - Thanks, Bob
