A great sounding classic tube amp by Fender. The 6G(n) (“brownface”) circuit was used in several Fender amplifiers, including the Bandmaster. It produces 40 watts into 4 ohms. The circuit was used from 1960 until July 1963 when the “AB763” circuit was introduced. “Blonde” aficionados feel this circuit has superior tonal characteristics when overdriven, to the AB763 circuit. The 6G7 and revised 7-A circuit used the long-tail pair phase inverter introduced with the 1957 Bassman, used a solid-state rather than a tube rectifier, and also included a vibrato that is heralded as Fender’s best by many enthusiasts. Power tubes were now 5881s (6L6WGBs). The new model was covered in Tolex rather than “tweed;” still a combo in brown Tolex for 1960, and then a blonde-covered head-and-cab piggyback 1961-63. This appears to have been re-covered with a “thicker than stock” custom Tolex and oversized gold Fender logos. The electrical components look all original, the amp still has a 2-prong power cord, The grill cloth looks like it could be original gold wheat grill and the speakers have been replaced (currently with Realistic speakers that actually sound quite good!).
