1968 Bassman

[msgdman]

I had a really beat up Blackface, so I tore off the tolex to redo it. I found that the original wood underneath looked nice, so I sanded, stained, and finished it, added diamond plate, and now this is what she looks like. Have it setting on a 2x10. Very happy with it.

I like raw wood look. Wood grain is awesome.

 

[Codyjohns]

Looks pretty cool.

These amps sound really good, I like them a lot.

 

[LPMarshall hack]

Wow that's really nice! I'd love to hear that thing.

 

[MarshallDog]

Nice looking and great work

I like the look and want to hear the tone. I miss my old black face that was stolen.
If I had my preference I would mask the diamond plate about 1/4" top and bottom a do flat black to match the cab better and off set the logo. Or all black diamond plate.

Have been thinking about a black coating on the plate.

You can do it.

JUST DOO IT!

Blackened.

Love the Bassman, but the diamond plate should go. Bare wood looks cool though...

 

[clutch71]

Looks great but I agree that the diamond plate seems out of place. As long as you're happy with it.

 

[12barjunkie]

Nice, man! Definitely go with black diamond plate or something black to match your speaker cab

 

[msgdman]

The forum has spoken black it is, I love it, much better look.

That looks great to me but I own a Mesa single rec so I want to do the same to it.
bassman is a cool amp. I hate to have gas for one now !

2 minutes and a $3 can of black spray paint!

looks good , but if the steel chequred plate was stainless to paint it you will need to etch primer it first or the paint will chip off very easily

I don't move it from that spot and it will never even leave that room, so its not an issue for me.

but the wood look is good and it reminds me of old mk 2 mesa combos done without tolex , just nice wood heavily varnished- I yerned for one in the day
