Fender Bantam Bass Amp? Never seen one of these.

Anyone ever see or hear one of these? Also, that's a crazy looking speaker it has in there!

Local shop has had one for years, they want way too much.
The speaker was made by Yamaha, has a cone made of a type of foam.
Not a bad amp section, not sure why they didn't simply use a standard 15.
Some folks cut a new baffle and use them for jazz guitar, retro bass sounds etc. etc. etc.

It's similar to the Bassman 10 but with the weird styrofoam cone Yamaha speaker, which supposedly doesn't sound too good.
Could be made into a giggablle amp, as Warm Guns mentioned , some folks have made a new baffle ( these amps have the glued in MDF baffle ) and installed a 15, or 4-10s.

It would have to be really cheap though, not $550
