Fender Pro 5G5 1960

Early 1960 non-center knob brown Pro.
Came with a reissue C15N that I changed out for a vintage JBL D130F.
Amp is very clean.
Triad transformers. All stock.
This amp has these caps across the bass pot not shown on the Pro 6G5 schematic and layout diagrams. They are shown on the Blonde Twin 6G8 6-pretube layout digram. These don't seem to suck the power and tone on this 5G5 5-pretube Pro as they did on my 6-pretube 6G7 Bandmaster and 6-pretube Super 6G4.
