First appearing in 1954 and built to 1974, the Fender Bandmaster amplifier transformed from a 26 watt single-15 inch tweed combo to, in 1961, a 40 watt head and 2×12 cabinet set. Along the way it was also available, from 1955 to 1960, as a 28 watt 3×10 inch speaker combo.

In the early 1960s Fender was realizing that combo amplifiers carried service issues in the ever-larger cabinets. As power levels started to rise, physically repairing amps took more and more space. So a highly innovative solution was found. This solution makes so much sense and became so common that it seems obvious now, but simply separating the amplifier and speakers into separate cabinets was a breakthrough. This was immediately referred to as the ‘Piggyback’ design and every other manufacturer soon followed.

Here we’re looking at a Fender Bandmaster head and cabinet set, built during 1964 at the Fender plant in Fullerton, California. The head is in Blackface garb – white script logo lettering on a black panel, with black Tolex covering.
