I just scored a really clean '65 Blackface Bassman Head
for $595.00, and man, am I stoked!!! It's got the original
transformers, new NOS tubes, and very little wear. The
only downside is that the original caps are in there, and
it'll need a cap job before long. I haven't had time to put
it through the paces, but in the short time that I demo'd
it in the store, and at home tonight, it sounds SWEET!!!
I'll surely provide more details in the months ahead.
Yeeeee......eeeeee......eeeeee.......ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Killer deal!
congrats!

I just picked up a 65 Bandmaster in great shape for $400 two weeks ago.
I'm loving it.

The Thunderchiefs

Man congrats!!! Bassmans YEAH! Laughing
here's my 64-65 AA864 everything dates 64 but the chassis date early 65
all stock but new filter caps, new JJ's,one orange drop in the second gain stage,
Last week The Kilaueas stayed at our place and saw my bassman Ralf & Volker had to plug in and fell in love with the tone! and the next night at The 'Verb/The Verbtones/The Kilaueas show in Portland Oregon, by special request Ralf asked if he could play through my bassman and 65' tank out of all the fenders that night "Bandmaster"-"VibroVerb"-"Deluxe Reverb", he was floored by the tone and sound I said hell yeah!!

I am also in the market for a bandmaster or tremolux any feedback would be awesome guys thanks!

Congratulations. I just picked up a blonde 63 Bassman to go with my 64 Blonde Tremolux head. It's in the shop right now but I'm realy looking forward towards teaming them up. These things are great for that vintage surf tone but go figure, they could have been used originally.

There is Surf east of Sepulveda.

Congrats.
I'm guessing that you're going to love that amp. I've got an early 1964 6G6B and it sounds great, especially through the bass channel with the '64 Reverb Unit and Jaguar. I've got a near mint '66 Bandmaster, too, but I like the Bassman better.

Kyle, great photos! Small favor, if you don't mind, try to limit the size of the photo to the frame, otherwise it expands the entire frame beyond the monitor and all the text gets stretched out too.

Thanks,

Great Score Bob, congrats! I've always wanted to play through one of those, maybe at some future gig some day you can haul it out and we can really put it through it's paces. Drool

Sorry about that man I'm working off a 19inch screen Very Happy but I made the fix and spaced the photo of Ralf so it should be good now
