I wanted to see what the amp sounds like after making each change to the circuit.  The first change is replacing the factory 250K linear pot with the correct 1M audio taper pot.  I think there was a definite improvement.   I just got the 6.8K ohm tail resistor that I am going to put in next and do another soundcheck.  It was reading around 6.63K ohms.  The 6.8K resistor in the 1960 Bassman had drifted up to around 7.5K ohms.
