1968 Fender Bandmaster Drip Edge – AB763 Circuit – Early Silverface – Vintage Tube Head
Our users rate Reverb
his is a 1968 Fender Bandmaster from the highly desirable “drip edge” transition period — silverface cosmetics with the legendary AB763 blackface circuit still intact.
For players who know, this is the sweet spot.
You get the classic mid-’60s Fender circuit design before later CBS revisions changed the tone and feel — just dressed in the early silverface look with aluminum grille trim.
Specs:
- Approx. 40 watts
- 2x 6L6 power section
- AB763 circuit
- Normal & Vibrato channels
- Original silverface panel with blue lettering
- Aluminum “drip edge” trim
- 3-prong power cord
- Head only
Tone:
Big, piano-like cleans with depth and authority.
Smooth top end without harshness.
Warm, touch-responsive breakup when pushed.
An outstanding pedal platform long before that term was trendy.
This is not a later 70s master-volume model.
This is the early version players look for.
Condition shows honest vintage wear consistent with age. Nothing unusual for a nearly 60-year-old amplifier. Fully functional and sounds exactly how a great Bandmaster should.
If you’ve been looking for blackface tone without blackface panel pricing — this is the move.
Shipping
Local pickup preferred due to age and weight.
Will pack professionally if shipping is requested — message first to discuss.
