Only goes to 10. I'm not interested.   :P  I wonder if it even has a preamp stage?

Just put a $300 preamp pedal in front of it and you're good to go.  :D

I had mine from 1967-2014. Sold it to my guitarist because it was a better fit for him than for me in today's world. (I had the caps replaced about 5 years before that.)

But those old Bassman heads could get PLENTY loud.  It was 50W on tube steroids.
