This is the 1964 Blonde Bassman with new Celestions combined with a 1964 Super Reverb to fill the room.   I'm using my Dunlop Cry Baby that I bought back in the '80's.  I just replaced the original Oxfords (dog crop) with a Celestion Vintage 30 and a G12H30.  It sounds so good now.  It has a lot of headroom before the speakers break up.   I am also using a vintage TS-808.  That is my 1964 Strat with 11-52 Pyramid Nickel Classics tuned down one half step to go with Hendrix's new CD release, "Valleys of Neptune."  Great CD.  Check it out.   I also have all of my amps running through Carl Hartman's Tone Preserver to bring the home voltage down to 110v. Watch the end and you get a little idea of the difference in tone between the Bassman and Super.
