    @geridg SM57 will not sound right you need a high impedance mic, SM57 is low impedance, for further questions ask goldenbug he is selling good mics

    I agree: I think the reissue siounds a bit clearer and brighter, but who the knows. Can use use any mic to plug into an amp or do you need to get a special chord with an amp jack, because my sm57 only came with a typical mic jack?

    Great job with the side by side comparison! Just wondering if the reissue has the original pre amp, power , and rectifier tube set up. Thanks!!

    reissue is brittle sounding while the vintage Bassman is smooth and warm

  • johnnyleetone says:

    The original sounds much warmer and more broken in. I figure the reissue will sound as great when it’s had some 40 years of break in time too, sounds great already anyway! Nice playing btw, I’ve been trying to learn harmonica for awhile.
