'59 Bassman question.

So I may be able to get my hands on a new '59 Bassman Reissue for pretty cheap. I absolutely love the sound, but seeing as how it's a reissue and pretty true to the original there is no output in order to hook up another cab.

I'm selling my head, and getting a combo for the sake of simplicity/city living, but I don't necessarily want to sell my cab. Is there any way that I can rewire/pay someone to rewire the Bassman so that it can run with a 412 connected, and all the original speakers working as well?
Also, how much would this cost, if at all possible?

Many thanks in advance,
-Sam

Hmmm....I'm going to say "no". Well, not easily anyway. You would need to have the same impedance with both sets of speakers (total) as you do with "just" the internal speakers.
