Ok so I have a really really nice frankenstein set, bought from original owner....who bought it new when he was in high school. This amp has the paper tag, with handwritten model and serial number. Model number is L795. The cabinet has two 15's in it. My question: based on the model number the amp appears to have JBL D-140F speakers ( this based on the 1966 catalog)...and the amps is an extraordinarily good sounding guitar amp, and was purchased by original owner as a guitar amp....and the head has reverb and tremolo...BUT in researching the JBL D-140F speakers it appears that they are bass speakers? Anyone have any thoughts on this? i guess i could turn all those screws and have a look...but were the JBL speakers in 1966 supposed to be used in bass amps only? or where they offered as guitar amps. It seems Jensens were also offered in 1966. thanks for any thoughts
