Description

While it may not be mentioned as often as other similarly sized Fenders, the blonde-era Bandmaster is a fantastic sounding amp. Its tone is not far removed from the 6G6-A Bassman, and it features that wonderful harmonic tremolo we all love. This example has received a high-quality re-cover on the original cabinet, and the back panel has been replaced. The original tube chart inside reads 6G7, but it has been confirmed as a 6G7-A.

Internally, the power cord and electrolytic caps have been replaced, along with the screen grid resistors. The rest of the preamp appears to be all original, including mismatched caps on the phase inverter—uncommon, but not unheard of when parts ran short and production needed to continue. See the circuit photos for further details.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
