It's finally home, I went to pick it up last friday. It was more of a 5 hrs drive (back and forth) than the 4 I had in mind but I'm glad I did.
So, here is my new vintage amp, a Bandmaster Reverb rehoused in a Twin or Vibrolux enclosure.
And yep, it's blue, and really like it :
I just need to clean it up a bit.
The seller sold it to me as an all original '74 amp. But from what I read and understand it's a '68, right??
Which is fun because when I've trade my NR Princeton the seller claimed it was a '71ish model. But it was a '68 drip edge.
So both my vintage Fender amps are from the same year.
Here are the speakers, seem original to me :
One question : Is the toggle the right way or not? The seller didn't recall what he had done
The amp is everything I hoped, even more.
The reverb is glorious, the cleans are incredible, especially the normal channel.
The trem needs to be verified though, it's very weak. But for the price I had it it's a no-brainer to get it to the amp tech.
I will test the stereo set up I had in mind with the Princeton but so far I've found my other dream amp.
And it's not that heavy
As for the other amp I might have bought (there was two actually), to many red flags from the seller. For the record it was a Selmer Treble and Bass with its matching cab and a '62 Ampeg reverbrocket...
