To add my opinion on this subject,I think Fender wasn't trying to copy
the original 59 bassman,but to build a quality BASS amp that resembles the
59.I don't think Fender had harp in mind when designing this amp.It may be a
great harp amp,who knows?It wouldn't surprise me if it was.I'd like to see
this same amp with the 4 -10 configuration,now that would grab the attention
of harp players!...Dave

Bob,

I'm not so sure this answers the question in my mind.  If your real
'59 Bassman has Jensen P10R speakers and that is what the Victoria has and
Fender puts the Celestion Vintage 30 in the custom shop '59 Bassman, why is
that people are saying the Jensen P10R reissues are some of the worst
speakers on the market and why is it that Fender is putting the Celestion
Vintage 30 in the custom '59?  Again, the real question is not
duplication of equipment, but tone.  Who has the closest duplication of
tone that you can get from a speaker: Fender or Victoria?  Why didn't
Fender go back to the original speaker (P10R) themselves?  They kept to
the other specifications of the amp.

Best regards,

Boogie
