Super- Like a louder Pro with more thump. More focused but somehow seems quieter Bassman- Head/Cab Kinda its own thing. This amp has plenty of power and headroom. Bandmaster- Head/Cab version of the Pro Closed back cab has big effect on sound. This amp sounds amazing! A very powerful, plucky Fender tone that can drive a 212 or 412 cab like nobody's business! The tremolo is rich and capable of any speed or intensity you'd most likely ever want or need. Items that appear to have been replaced are some board components (see pic) and the power cable. The knobs are all present and look very good! Much appears to be original to the amp, including Tolex, grillcloth, transformers, handle, and back panel. There is oxidation on the metal corners and screw heads. The grill cloth is intact, and the tolex looks very good aside from a few snags here and there (see pics). in 1997 in Pensacola, Florida, has been named by NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) as one of the 'TOP 100' music stores in the USA since 2011!!! Your satisfaction is our #1 objective!ġ968 Vintage Fender Band-Master AB763 Guitar Amp Head, All Working Order! #34776īlues Angel Music is pleased to present this 1968 Fender Band-Master Head! This was the first-year of the Silverface, and only year with the Aluminum Drip Edge frame around the grille cloth, yet retaining the AB763 circuit! This amp is in Very Good to Excellent Condition for an amp of this vintage. Consider this, thousands of Fender amp heads from the 60's still floating around,a majority of them have 4 ohm OT's and are still working fine after almost 50 years and only god knows what speakers were plugged in along the way ! A good bet would be 4 ohms or higher.Thank you for taking the time to visit Blues Angel Music's Reverb store! Blues Angel Music, est. You can safely go UP in speaker impedance, 8 ohm speaker/ 4 ohm transformer.the theory is 2x up.but not 2 x down, the current load could cause damage. I would be curious to know the OT p/n used in the 8 ohm Bandmaster chassis mentioned above. Now I'm not saying that Fender never used an 8 ohm OT in a 2x12 Bandmaster, but if they did, there is no listed reference for it.

Dual Showmans are the exact same amp with a 4 ohm OT. Now there are 8 Ohm Output transformers that Fender used, but typically they are found in single Showmans and capable of 85 watts.

Supposedly gives the BMSTER a bit of clean boost.

Many times players or techs would use the 50 watt Bassman Output Transformer in the Bandmaster chassis, also 4 ohms, pn 125A13A. The Bandmaster chassis standard issue is a 4 ohm Output Transformer, 125A6A.Speakers were either Utah or Oxfords, 8 Ohms each, in a parallel configuration making it 4 ohms. One of the coolest features ofthis amp, which I dont have a picture of, is that on Tagged: AB763,Bandmaster, blackface, Fender, layout, schematic, tube amp.
