Up for your consideration is a silverface Fender Bassman 10 from the mid 1970's in great working condition. This unit has seen use in the past 2 years, functions as it should and has seen frequent cleaning that has enabled it to record a few local and international artists since its acquirement.

Preamp: 2 7025's (can use 12AX7's in place), 1 12AT7
Power: 2 6L6GC's
Watts: 50 / 70
Impedence: 8 ohms (1972-76), 4 ohms (1977-82)
Speakers: 4x10, closed back cabinet.
Weight: 35kg
Faceplate: Silverface (1972-80), Blackface (1980-82)

Having recorded on this amp for the past two years, I personally enjoy the harmonic richness of its valve preamplifier and find it an ease to have my tracks recorded on it to sit in any mix. Although I'd personally prefer this amp on guitars, it has also nailed a couple of my jazz tracks on bass.
Pros:
- Easy to maintain
- Nice harmonic additions / Warmer tones
- Sits well in mixes
Cons:
- Slight crackling heard when Master knob is turned (Does not affect usual functioning)
- Not easy to lug around
Further reviews can help to testify the versatility of this combo amp:

The current market price of this unit in such working condition has been appraised locally at S$1,400.
Price on sale: Firm @ S$1,200
Do PM for more clarification.
Thanks for viewing!
