I am starting to find some good tone out of the 1959 Bassman.  Since I replaced both phase inverter capacitors, today I played around with the 12AX7 tubes and put in some of my favorites.  It is starting to sound solid.  This is just pure clean Bassman amp and Strat.  Magic Slim used the same rig except he played a Fender Jazzmaster with the P90 pickups that sound really good on these amps.  I almost bought a Jazzmaster but I just don't really need it right now.
