Hello, and welcome to my listing. This listing is for the Fender Silverface Bandmaster Reverb Combo Amp you see here in the photos. It is a one owner, pristine 1969 model with all of it's original 606 transformers with numbers from either 1968 or 1969. The chassis and JBL speaker is installed in a custom Pine Finger Joined Combo cabinet built by Soultone Music Supply, an renowned expert in building accurate well built retro Fender cabinets. It retains it's original 1969 reverb tank and bag, along with a set of new rca reverb cables and a vintage F-plug speaker cable. The cabinet measures 25"W x 20 1/2"H x 10 1/2"D. Chassis is serial number A 36390. Producing that legendary Fender tone is a beautiful JBL Signature Series D-140F 15" grey basket speaker, just re-coned by Vin-Tone out of New York at 4 ohms to match the amp's output transformer. The speaker, one of the cleanest I have ever seen, has been installed on a original style Fender 15" Vibroverb speaker baffle with original 1969 Silverface speaker cloth and original 1969 drip edge and drip edge corners, just as Fender would have done in this era. This amp is simply amazing. It looks and sounds like it just came out of the box. I have an original mint 1967 Deluxe Reverb, and in a side by side comparison, this amp really holds up. I was quite surprised myself. The tremolo is perfect, and the reverb is so lush and vintage. Amp is dead quiet at idle. All the pots are smooth and quiet. The cabinet has all new Fender hardware installed in the correct locations, and the chassis retains it's original BMR faceplate. I bought this amp from the original owner who purchased it in California in 1969 and only used it in his home studio. It is super original and works perfectly. This is an amp that Fender should have produced in the Silverface era, but never did. Essentially the same as the 1964 Vibroverb amp, 40 watts of vintage Fender tube amp and Fender JBL tone. It includes a re-issue Fender 2 button rca footswitch. You will probably never see another beautiful amp like this one again. It will be professionally packed with care and shipped promptly. What you see is what you will be getting. The Deluxe Reverb and the Bassman amp shown in the background are not included of course. I will be completing the Blonde Bassman soon. Original cabinets and speakers. As always, thanks for looking and appreciating what I have to offer. Make me an offer!
