Just got hold of a 90's fender bassman 59 last week, and would like to set it up just like your one from the Bassman Chronicles.

I've drop it of with the local amp man to work on, who's coming from a guitar side and not overly keen on the 12AU7, but hey I'll paying.

Could you please confirm the tubes from left to right, thank you.

5U4.....5881.....5881.....12AU7.....12AX7.....12AY7

Will be playing with a 1952 shure black CR element as well.

That's it... try the 12AT7 in place of the 12AX7, most people like that better... I just didn't have one around for the test.
