Hi Folks. I am a new member, but a guitar and bass player from the DD/Deltones era. A friend suggested that there might be some interest in a near-mint Bandmaster Amp. Description:
Fender Bandmaster amplifier and speaker cabinet combination; All original, including USA tubes, with the exception of brand new replacement of all capacitors (original capacitors available). Original owner; manufactured April, 1966 (See production label photo). Original connecting cables and effects pedal included. Recent full inspection by Fender specialist. One tiny imperfection in speaker cloth covering (see photo). This amplifier has had meticulous care.
WILL DELIVER (within 200 miles of 15090) to avoid damage and save shipping cost.
Contact for additional information: wdesbrow (at sign) zoominternet.net

Looks very nice but I paid 500 less for a 63 Brownface Bandmaster delivered not to long ago. Good luck.

Provenance. Original owner, great condition, all complete... would pair so well with my '66 Jazzmaster and '65 reverb tank. And 4 hours away at that. Have to say its tempting to think about. Sadly, the tax man cometh for my hide this year, and, due to recent sad news and fundraising, doesn't seem like the right time to be spending those kinds of bucks on something Surfy.

Good luck with the sale though!

Just as an additional suggestion to the owner, some shots of any internals of both the head and cab would prolly help spur interest in such an apparently-pristine unit. Particularly if any pix were taken when it got that cap job.

Good idea. This is a great looking unit. I hope it finds a good home soon.

Thanks to all for your comments thus far, particularly Stoopy and Synchro. This is a great site. As soon as I get the time I will disassemble and get interior shots of the head an speaker cabinet. The BandMaster, surprisingly, is still available.
