I picked up from a guy who wasn't strong enough to carry it around, I
traded it for a crappy 25 watt solid state, straight up :-)

Oh yeah ? I thought the output transformer was responsible for this.
I'll consider doing this. Doesn't Weber make these SS rectifiers as
well. I don't like Groove Tubes that much anyway.

I have a vintage Sunn semi open back 2x12" with shot speakers. I
recently put 2 reissue Jensen C10Q's into a combo I made with a 50 watt
Bass Master head and they sound fricken awesome. I'm going to buy a set
of 12's for the Sunn cab. They are a great deal for the price.
BTW, BMR's can still be found relatively cheap since they're not
considered collectors items. I had a mid 70's version that didn't sound
nearly as good though, I'd stick the the 68 and 69 versions. They might
be black faces in disguise, before Fender started cheatin out on
components.
