The amp has a pair of 6L6GCs and a 5U4 rectifier tube. I think the amp puts out somewhere near 45-50 watts of power. The circuitry is more or less a copy of the Fender Tweed Bassman 5F6-A chassis.
Nice. I have one of the Fender Bassman 10 silverface combos from the late seventies. My dad gave it to me years ago when I moved out. It is one of the ultra linear models, 70 watts. It doesn't have quite the bite that some of the other bassman models have but it still has its uses and I couldn't argue with the price (free). I mostly use it for bass and keyboards. It does also sound really good with a guitar through a Big Muff Pi, in my opinion or for clean jazzy stuff when your using the neck pickup with the tone rolled all the way back. Like Wes Montgomery style stuff. I guess a lot of people mod the bassman tens to mimic the blackface circuitry but I have always been happy with it. It is due to be re-capped and have the pots cleaned though.
That is so cool, @amberyooper!
Thank you! :-)

You can see the preamp tubes labeled in the photo. What are the other tubes you used?

That amplifier is starting to look good. Can't wait to see the finished product! Upvoted and resteemed :)
Thank you!
