A Blackface with a hum balance pot?

It's not a 60's blackface, its an early 80's blackface. They were made during the Rivera era of Fender amps.

My back hurts just looking at that thing.

Is it actually a 20 watt tube bass amp or was Fender just putting stupid numbers on things?

They have 3 or 4 of those at Atomic. I tried to lift one in the spring. Yes, your back should hurt from looking at it.

Regarding the description - "meaty low-end grunt" would be a great name for a band.

Or an album, at the very least...

Never heard a Bassman 20 in person, but I am looking at the schematic now and it's pretty much the Normal channel from a BF/SF Deluxe or Deluxe Reverb into a 15" speaker. A few tweaks to the tone stack and a SS rectifier are the main differences.
