Hot.

What I love from that era is the Tremolux though

Like a better sounding Bassman...

Whats the wattage on that? Bandmasters have always seemed really loud to me...

[Help!I'maRock!]

should be rated at 35 watts.

[Mark Wein]

Bandmaster at 35 watts? Why did I think they were always higher? Maybe I'm just thinking of the Silverfaces....

nope. all Bandmasters and their Reverb'd counterparts were between 35-38 watts. a head version of the Vibrolux. the high powered ones were the Showman and Dual Showman.

[Mark Wein]

AH. That would be a hugely useful amp, then....I might have to look at Bandmaster heads...

[JModius1972]

Is the Band Master the amp of choice of Brian Setzer? If so, then I'd absolutely LOVE to have one.

no, Brian uses two Tonemaster heads. they're 100 watt, channel switching monsters. though after watching that clip, its entirely possible that's what he's using there.

Nice amp!!

I love the Fenders from that era. I was able to plug into a real deal (not a reissue) Fender Vibroverb not that long ago and loved what I heard...

[Aahzz]

Want!!!

[Phil513]

Double want. AOK

[telecaster911]

Our singer is supposed to be bringing a band master to me on Saturday. heavy-metal-044 Will report back with pics if he brings it. He's not the most reliable guy like that.


The above amps are hot by the way AOK

[warren0728]

might be a bit much for my condo....but....want! Totally_jammin_out
