1962 Fender Bandmaster 6G7-A 1962 Blond Head and Cabinet
No sales tax for customers outside California.
This 1962 Fender Bandmaster is a stunning example of one of Fender's most iconic 60s amps.
The amp has been serviced. There is a grounded power cable in place, new filter caps, replaced bypass caps, and some work in the bias section. All the work was professionally performed before we received the amp.
The power transformer is from 1967. I have no idea what happened to require the change, but it is good to see a vintage transformer in place of the original. As you may or may not know, this likely has no effect on the tone of the amp, which is influenced most when an output transformer is swapped out.
Everything else is original to the amp with the exception of three of the knobs. I kind of dig the idea of having those brown knobs there on the vibrato and presence controls, separating them off visually from the volume and tone knobs.
The speakers are original Oxfords and they sound spectacular. All the tubes were tested on the way through our process. Everything here is 100% good to go! Shipping will be expensive as it will require a lot of time and two big boxes to get this sweet baby in your hands.
