In local stores, I have the option of:
(1) $1620 US for a blonde 63/64 in average condition, with period
but non-original speakers in the cab; or,
(2) $1400 US for a '64 BF with white knobs & presence control &
original Oxfords in the cab, in very good condition
any comments, recommendations?
I'd go with #2 because of the original speakers!

I would go with #1 if the speakers are decent speakers. Blonde
cosmetics go for more money than black cosmetics so it is more of an
investment. But if the speakers aren't very good ones you could go
with the '64 BF. Those white knobs look pretty cool.
And I hate you for having the option to buy both of those amps at
your local store. I haven't found any Fender piggy back or BF amps at
our local stores.

To me it's kind of a toss up. Play 'em both and pick the one that sounds good to
you. Also bring cash and bargain hard. I personally would invest in a Vibrolux
or "Verb" when spending that kinda cash.

although I am no expert, but It really might be the same animal
underneith, since it has the midrange control.... I prefer the later
64 version with no middle control.
I like the blackface tone better than the blonde bassman.
My two cents.

I meant Presence not Middle... Got Showman on the brain
go to
Thanks to everybody for their input.
I did the deal this afternoon. This should link up to a photo &
description:
The head is a very clean, black tolex 1964 w white knobs & presence
control. It comes with two cabs, both with their original Oxfords,
but the baffle board in each has a 4" x 6" port due to some mod,
long reversed (it's no big deal to me). The price for the whole rig
translates to about $1400US (before tax).
It sounds absolutely killer, and it's way cleaner than the
blonde '64 I also looked at. And having the extra speaker cab is
cool, I can use it as an extension to both the Bassman, and my BF
Bandmaster, on larger stages.
