Great amp and also great milestone indeed!
Had the pleasure to borrow a Bassman 50 and 100 at the same time to compare them and the 50 has some kind of magic on its own!
Also: are these just black covers or some different pickups?

imho, the 50 is more usable more of the time. the 100 needs to be pushed much harder.

and their just stock covers painted black and starting to chip

I love it when a piece of gear becomes your sound. Constantly hunting for a new sound via new gear is exhausting. Congrats on the Bassman milestone.

Busted up Marshall cab.

SIlverface Fender Bassman.

Inexpensive East Asian pedals mixed in with some tone staples.

That is one mighty fine econo rig. Can't find a thing wrong with it. ;D :-* :-*

thanks. honestly, i had more expensive pedals on my rig for a while but it felt like i was only using them for very basic sounds which i could get from those cheaper pedals and that it wouldn't matter if i broke. however i do keep saying i'm going to build a ross style compressor, 2-1 klone, a chorus/vibrato pedal and a nice analog delay. but then i remembered i have a tiny car.

Very cool, congrats. It’s nice getting things that are worth keeping.

I like your setup, from what little I can make out on it. Is that a mu pedal at the beginning? I love mine.

All those minis make your time machine look like a coffee table on there! Haha

I thought almost all cars in Europe were on the small side, no?

Celebrate & enjoy!

it's a pedal of my own design called a MuLove. it's basically a really heavily modified LBP-1

and yeah but mine is pretty small. if i want to move that 4x12 then i have to remove the rear seats from the car.

Oh - that’s like a line splitter/switcher? Never have used one of those LBP-1 pedals.

Wow, that does sound small. It used a be lot of work to pull seats, at least in the van I had years ago. But they were also big, van bench seats.
