Fender Bandmaster Piggyback 1965: superior vintage guitar sounds

Those who know guitar amps know what this combination can do. The Blackface Bandmaster is known for its amazing clean sounds, but it also responds sublimely to overdrive and fuzz pedals. In addition to the Normal channel, there's a second channel that goes by the name Vibrato. Both have their own Bright potentiometer to add some extra sparkle to the overall sound. What's more, you can freely adjust the rich sound of this legendary Fender effect to your liking using the Speed and Intensity controls. Are you looking for superior vintage guitar sounds? Then check out this Bandmaster Piggyback! It is the perfect amp for you, whether you play soul, rhythm and blues or classic rock.

Original '60s speakers and the Piggyback system

The speaker cabinet houses two original '60s 12-inch speakers: a 1965 CTS and a 1964 Fender Oxford Special Design. The overall combination ensures a clear, traditional Fender sound. Also, you can tilt the Blackface top and speaker cabinet thanks to the Piggyback hardware. The Bandmaster tube amp features special clip bars and the cabinet is fitted with bushings, thumb screws and matching tilt-back legs. This Fender AB763 Blackface is a genuine relic with a gorgeous patina on its metal components.
