Fender Bassman 10 - Service, Repair, Breakdown, Tone Mods

This video takes a deep dive look at a 1973 Silverface Fender Bassman 10. This amp is a 4x10 combo and is a solid amp to begin with. I perform a service to get it to proper working condition for many years to come. I also do some analysis of the circuit and perform some simple tone mods to give the amp some needed versatility. 0:00 - Intro 1:14 - Background 2:39 - Breakdown 11:37 - Filter Cap replacement 13:48 - Power Cord and Death Cap circuit 15:24 - Are the old caps working? 16:31 - Pentode / Triode switch 17:43 - Studio Channel 18:56 - Startup testing 20:20 - Setting proper bias 26:00 - First tone test 26:49 - Bass Channel "Tweed" mod 29:06 - NFB switch mod 30:38 - Overview of all changes on the schematic 32:10 - Final tone demo and features walkthrough Schematic - https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/5...
