    I have never had good luck with bass from my 10" speakers. I would like to hear it.

    Same thing here. Even though I put a better speaker in it it still gets farty when I turn it up. What I did when I was on the road was to plug it in to a 2x12 cabinet as well and that sounded really good without the bass note issues.

    The stock 10" in the PRRI fell apart on the low notes at pretty low volume. I tried an Eminence Copperhead which may have sounded a touch better overall, but still couldn't handle the lows. I switched to a 12" baffle and put in a few different 12"s rated to handle high wattage and still the same thing, again, just a touch better.

    Someone told me that changing the rectifier tube helps. I did some time ago. It's not perfect but it's certainly not like it used to be.

    My Princeton 65' is a great sounding amp too, when Kodiak was in for Thanksgiving he kinda took a liken to it. I came across a used Fender amp today in the pawn shop may check it out a little more this week. I think it was a 112?
