also, no boutique clones because i'm in the EU and i would have to spend way more than 2000 euro for a victoria, clark or tungsten. and besides, i feel like an original fender will hold its value better than a diy clone. but i can't solder, i absolutely suck at diy. Hailed as one of the true holy-grail amps among guitarists and collectors, vintage examples are rare and highly sought after. I know that i could make me a 5e7 clone using a mission kit or whatever. Manufacturer's Description from Fender '57 Bandmaster Reissue The late 50's tweed-covered Fender Bandmaster guitar amplifier combined great looks with sweet tone and powerful performance. SO i feel like the bandmaster '57 is just the perfect middle ground between a bassman and a tweed deluxe!īUT dat price: 2000 euro ain't cheap.
The BMaster is also less bass-heavy at higher volumes, which is a good thing imo and more importantly, it overdrives pretty easy! and we all know a cranked tweed amp is a tone to die for. also, the controls are much more effective, and you can really shape your sound, unlike with the bassman.

its bigger brother still holds its own due to 45 watts and 4 speakers, but it needs volume to really shine, while you can enjoy a full, 3D clean on the BMaster without making the windows rattle. it's got that snappy, mids-heavy clean tone that i just adore. well, i remembered correctly about the bassman: a total beast. bassman '59 ltd and bandmaster '57 were standing there side by side, so i had the chance to make an a/b comparison. back to the local store, me and my mosrite mark II. but i'm afraid i'm a one channel amp guy, after all.īut i digress. i'm starting to think that you can't have an amp that sounds great clean AND has a great dirty channel. I've owned two '59 bassman ltd's in the past, and i sold them because i was trying to get rid of dirt pedals, i wanted to get distortion directly outta the amp.
may very well be the best amp i've ever played. i've tried it at a local store and the sound was so nice, the controls so effective and interactive.
