Black, brown, blonde, tweed even, they're all the same electronicly.
I bought a black tolex reissue when they first came out in 1993. I got the
black to match the Super Amp I had at the time. When I got my blonde
Showman in 1994, I traded my black reverb for a blonde one from a friend who
had a blackface Bassman. Kept the blonde until I got my mits on a genie '63
brown reverb I still have. Both the black and blonde sounded the same
stock, and upgraded to 6K6 tubes.
I think MF is getting away with charging a premium since Fender stopped the
regular production black tolex reverbs a while ago, making these "limited"
editions.

Subject: RE: [SurfGuitar101] Fender RI '63 Reverb Tank - Black - MF
Special
Hi,
Cool, but what is the difference between a Black tank and Blonde
Re-issue tank?
I got the chance to buy a used/new Blonde "63 reverb tank for a "Low"
European price...
(still way more expensive then in the U.S.....)
Any opinions are most welcome,
Jerry S. from Belgium.
The Tank comes with the original box, diagram foot switch etc....I gave
it a test drive and is sounded just great....
New tanks are 750$ here in Belgium, and that is the "bottom"
price.....They are listed at a huge 800$....Aaaaaagggghhhhh....what a
ripoff...

For all you GAS sufferers out there: Just spotted a post on the FDP
about this . . . Musicians' Friend has a "web special" on the Black
RI reverb tanks - $349.99, with free shipping, I believe. Not a bad
deal if you're looking for one of those black tanks . . .
