1966 Fender Bandmaster 40w 2x12" Piggyback Blackface Combo Amplifier Set with Covers

Serial Number: A18146, Includes Head, Cabinet & Covers !

The 1966 Fender Bandmaster is indeed legendary in the realm of guitar amplifiers. Featuring the coveted AB763 circuit, the two 6L6 power tubes and solid state rectification provide a roaring 40 watts of Fender clean tone that can be pushed into rich, vintage overdrive.

The "Piggyback" configuration refers to the separate head and speaker cabinet design, where the amplifier head sits on top of the speaker cabinet, hence the term "piggyback." This design allowed for easier transportation and also provided flexibility in speaker cabinet options.

The 2x12" speaker configuration is a popular choice for guitar amplifiers, offering a balance between portability and sound dispersion. The two original fender branded Utah 12-inch speakers provide ample volume and depth, making it suitable for both small gigs and larger venues.

Overall, the combination of the 1966 Fender Bandmaster amplifier head with a 2x12" speaker cabinet in a piggyback configuration is indeed legendary, sought after by guitarists for its classic tone and vintage appeal.

CONDITION: This set is absolutely Beautiful, Set Includes the original Covers. The capacitors have been replaced inside the doghouse. The original transformers date to 1966 and the original 1966 Fender branded Utah speakers are clean as can be. There is one tear in the speaker cabinet grill cloth.

SHIPPING: This would need to be shipped in 2 boxes, Head packaged weight is 40 lbs, Cabinet packaged weight is 69lbs. If shipping costs are less, I'll be happy to refund that difference.  I would also prefer to keep this as a set these have been together for so long.
