1978 Bassman 4-10

Hello JK- You are talking about a Bassman 10. A top-quality amp for sure, but they don't really have anything in common with either a tweed 4-10 Bassman or a Bassman head. They have a sealed cabinet which gives a completely different sound than the open-back cab used in a tweed. It would be a decent amp for a loud band and/or outdoor gigs. Give it a try if the price is right!
