This bassman that's been converted into a 1x12 combo seems like a very nice idea (maybe priced a bit high?)

Fine. They're fine on everything. OK maybe not kick drum. But great on electric guitar, great as an overhead, great on percussion, it's just a really nice sounding mic.

Yeah, great amp idea but bad price for a chop-job

I have a bandmaster reverb as a 2x10 combo. Fucking rules.
That posting has the make offer option. Go low and try to get lucky.

Well, since you want to be talked out of it, I had a 1965 AA165 that I put in a 1x12" blonde combo cab I had made and dropped a 4-ohm Weber Chicago in it. Was really heavy and kinda too small for casters. I also greatly preferred how it sounded with the original 2x12" closed back cabinet with Webers in it. It only lived in the combo cab for about 4 months before I went back to the original format. Was actually easier to gig with, and sounded better that way.

You're welcome.

Had a similar experience with a '64 AA864 Bassman, put it in a 1x12 combo cab (w/ a 4 ohm 90 watt WGS ET-65 that I still have and need to put in a 1x12 cab already) and just never really got along with it in that format. I think in general I prefer closed back or partial open back cabs, and that combo was kinda unwieldy.

Yes. Not really a one-hand carry.
