Does anyone have any experience with this rare old bass amp? I just picked one up a few days ago, and it's pretty cool!

The father of one of my bandmates passed away around five months ago. In addition to being an all-around nice guy, he was also a longtime country music bassist. His wife has asked me to help her identify and perhaps sell some of the equipment he had. I told her to be sure to hang on to his 1966 Fender Jazz Bass which was given to him by his father. It's certainly a great heirloom for the family. He also had 2 Kustom 250 tuck and roll bass stacks. She's hanging on to these for now.

Anyway, I went over to the house a few days ago and among a shop full of stuff I found the Maverick bass amp. It's in decent shape, so I took it home and fired it up. It's a tube amp with a 15-inch speaker. The only problem I see with it is that I should probably get the 2-pronged cord changed to a 3-prong. This thing gets fairly loud, and has a nice tone with anything I plug into it, including guitars.

I plan on buying it, and I will give Mike's wife a fair price. I am honored to have a piece of gear that a friend used to make music for many people. It's going to be a great amp to play around the house.

Anyone have any experience with this amplifier model?

Pictures. Looks like the blue face was the basic amp, and the red face added reverb and tremolo.
