I was just wondering recently, why do the controls on the 59 Bassman reissue go to 12? The obvious answer is the amp is based on the original '59 design, which also went to 12. Why did Fender design it that way? after all, this is decades before Spinal Tap's innovation of an amp that goes to 1. :-)
