    I have two 1970 BANTAM bass amps and you’ve misspelled it. Best kept secret of all fender amps and I’ve played quite a few. 30 watts tube rectified bliss. One of the fattest fender tones I’ve ever heard from your guitar not bass of course. The first thing you do is to build a new baffle to support two twelve inch speakers and throw out the old yamaha trapizoid thingy. Plug in your favorite les paul or strat and off you go. There kinda rare and only made from 1969 thru 1971.
