FWIW the last tweed Bassman was an open-back 4x10", designed to handle the output of the then-new split-pickup P-Bass, and although I'd be extremely reluctant to try it with a vintage Concert - for obvious reasons - I'm not above running any of my 4-strings through the low-gain Channel 1 input of my '65 Super Reverb RI; while lacking in the high-volume potential one associates with a conventional electric guitar through the same rig - at least if you're clinically sane and/or value your equipment - it has a really sweet all-tube tone that blends especially well with acoustic instruments. Might just try a 5751 in V1 and a pair of 7581A's at my next service visit - give it some more clean headroom/dynamic range and turn it into a true dual-purpose amp...

The Concert Amp had been updated, so it was a player, not a museum piece. It was made to use. The replacement drivers in it were (still valued, I believe) Mojotone versions of the P10Q, necessary caps and other relevant components were replaced, etc. It actually sounded great with my Rickenbackers at "home" volume levels when jamming with friends, and was amazing sounding when I ran it through one of my custom LDS cabinets, the largest being a 2-12 +6.5 mid driver cabinet Don built for me. It had a pair of Eminence 3012LF drivers and an 18Sound mid. ungodly bottom end on those old Fenders, even my old early '70s Princeton Reverb Amp sounded great into that same LDS cabinet, just didn't get as loud, but loud enough to gig with.

I'd say you got the Fender sound down.
What model Redplate is that? Or are my eyes no good? |

Not much to look at compared with some of the offerings so far, but it's all mine, and it suits me just fine
Egnater Tweaker 15 + Blackstar 1x12 (Celestion) cab on the left, Vox Pathfinder 15R on the right. I usually run both at the same time - the Vox is set clean with some reverb, and all the effects on the floor go to the Egnater. It sounds huge in my little basement office. This is all 90 degrees from my desk.

Funny, my first amp looked a lot like your middle picture. I stole it from a '50's (I think) vintage record player cabinet [Stromberg Carlson! Finally remembered the brand name], along with the two speakers, and remounted everything in a painted plywood box I made. The box didn't last long, neither did the speakers, so eventually it became a special-purpose naked amp that sat on top of my proper guitar amp and used it's speakers. Sounded good on 10, but pretty mid-rangy. I'm lucky I never electrocuted myself with that thing.

My main amp is an Excelsior with an Eminence 1518 - nice big sound
sorry for the lousy pic - I've also got a Trace Elliot TA-30 for transducer guitars and a Fender Champion 110 with a WGS Veteran in it for carrying around. Not too fancy but plenty good enough for my garage |

Here are (most) of mine. Except for the Acus, I built them all. Missing are a tweed Pro (which I use most of the time) and a 2x12 cab loaded with Blues. Other than the Pro, I most often use the single-channel DR (blonde/oxblood, behind the blond/wheat Twin head).

You know, all the Fenders sound great, the Vibroverb was probably the best all-around, but honestly not by much. A good blackface Super Reverb with jensen C10n's or C10P's or a mix of the two, is probably the most versatile amp of the bunch. It will do almost anything and can be adjusted to sound like all of them. I love playing with a clean tone, so I always gravitate towards cleaner amps, the Red Plate has an excellent clean tone tone but I don't think anything compares to the clean of a Bruno Cowtipper, that's what sitting where the MDD is now and the MDD is upstairs in our Living Room on a Bob Burt pine cabinet.
