Great amp and the tones on tap are phenomenal. I've been playing it for a couple of weeks now and with pedals you can literally play just about anything through this amp well. Kendrick does some nice things in this amp: using nos original speaker cones from the original supplier to Fender, offset plates in the power transformer like the original, 5881 tubes like the original and I think there's an effects loop added by the builder with a blend knob. The wiring is very well done. My amp is from December 1993-signed and dated by Gerald Weber, the founder of Kendrick Amps. I'll post pics later.

With appropriate speakers, this or nearly any clone of a '59 Bassman sounds fabulous. It should have a big, room-filling sound at any volume, even household level. Congrats!

Nice! I have a Fender 90’s reissue that I was going to replace the circuit board and hand wire myself, but it sounds so good with just a few minor mods, I can’t take it out of service to do the upgrade. Love the versatility and tones out of a 59 Bassman with 4x10’s. To me it’s a deserted island amp.
