1965 Fender Bandmaster AB763 Piggyback Head and Cab Set *Fully Serviced* w/ TAD Capacitors, JBL D131 Speaker, Original Parts Included


For Sale, we have a true vintage gem: a 1965 Fender Bandmaster amplifier, featuring both the head and cabinet set. This classic piece of gear is a fantastic example of Fender's golden era, delivering that unmistakable vintage tone. The head has undergone a comprehensive full service, ensuring it performs at its best. We replaced the filter, reservoir, and bypass capacitors, along with the dropping, balancing, screen, and cathode resistors. For modern safety, we upgraded the power cord to a three-prong setup, removed the death cap from the circuit, and thoroughly cleaned the pots, jacks, switches, and sockets. All the tubes have been tested and are in proper working order, giving you peace of mind that this amp is ready to rock.

Adding to the allure of this amplifier is the inclusion of a high-end, super desirable JBL D131 speaker in the cabinet. This highly coveted vintage speaker is renowned for its exceptional clarity and warmth, qualities that made it a favorite of legendary guitarist Duane Allman. The JBL D131 enhances the Bandmaster’s natural sound, providing a rich, full-bodied tone with a punchy low end and sparkling highs.

This Bandmaster is a rare find, as it came to us completely untouched, allowing us to do all the necessary work in one go rather than piecing together years of repairs. The tone of this amp is loud and full, with clear articulation and a lush tremolo that just sounds so good. Included with the amp are the original capacitors and resistors, so you'll have proof of its service history and can appreciate the completeness of the unit. The rich, warm sound that this amp produces is perfect for anyone looking to capture that authentic vintage vibe, whether you're playing classic rock, blues, or smooth RnB.

This Bandmaster isn't just an amplifier; it's a piece of history, and it’s been lovingly restored to ensure it continues to perform for years to come. Don't miss out on the chance to own a piece of Fender's legacy, a true testament to the quality and craftsmanship of the 1960s. This amp has the kind of character and charm that you simply can't find in modern equipment. It's ready to bring that timeless sound to your music, making every note you play a nostalgic journey back to the heyday of rock 'n' roll. With the addition of the JBL D131, you’re not just getting an amplifier; you’re getting a piece of rock history that will make your music truly stand out. Grab this one-of-a-kind vintage amp and let your music shine with the true essence of a 1965 Fender Bandmaster.
