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. I know that i could make me a 5e7 clone using a mission kit or whatever. 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. #Bandmaster for sale windowsits 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. #Bandmaster for sale serialback to the local store, me and my mosrite mark II.

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. Ronnie Montrose found a tweed Bandmaster for 90 at a garage sale, and used it to record his bands first. When the eBay seller saw 'Elkhart, Ind.' on the bell he maybe assumed that it was a Conn since Conn owned that company 1923-1927 but did not own it when the trumpet was allegedly manufactured in the 1930s. There are well-known recordings of tweed Bandmasters. i've tried it at a local store and the sound was so nice, the controls so effective and interactive.
