NAD Blonde bassman ab165

Couldn't resist this. Consider it therapy for the bassman I was supposed to have built ...

This little beauty popped up on gumtree (Aussie trademe) for a steal.

All hand wired bassman ab165 clone with a presence control.

The work looks immaculate.

Looks like some sensible quiet grounding with a marshal style floating ground thingy. I did the same in.my 6g15 stand alone clone to good effect .

Yes. She's insanely tidy.
I also have acquired a rather special blackface 1966 showman head. With a non original uncovered head cab. I'll be getting a nice 2x12 done in blond to match both of them . I'll also be re-tolexing my 6g15 reverb to make the full blonde Maga surf ensemble.

I believe they will all assemble like voltron and melt faces.

I don't know about the cork-sniffery level involved but that circuitry just looks sexy as hell...

Thanks gents . Yes, it's going to be put to good loud surfy use. The transformer looks the size of a Soviet housing compound.
