Hey everyone, up for sale is my Fender Bandmaster. It's a blackface from 1963 and the reason I'm selling it is simply because I do not have the ability to put in any time/money to fix a few issues due to school.
I'm looking to get $325 plus shipping.
I thought it was a killer deal when I bought it and the seller said it worked perfectly fine. In fact, it DOES work fine but there are some issues that need to be addressed:
1) There's rust inside the chassis
2) Several wires from the tranny look pretty crispy however the amp DOES work, play, and sound fine. It's a bit noisy like most old amps but the tone is pretty sweet, not too loud.
3) The pilot light doesn't work due to one of these wires not making a good connection.
So the good news:
1) It DOES work, nothing is dead, aside from the pilot light. I'm not sure if someone can simply replace the wires since the transformer is still good but if so, it would be an easy fix I guess.
2) It has been recapped fairly recently according to the dude I bought it from.
3) Has a new grounded power cable
Here are some pix:
I can take more photos if you wish and I'll be glad to answer any questions ya might have. Paypal or postal money orders (and only postal money orders) are preferred. I have 100% positive ebay feedback and references on various boards including: esp, ada depot, harmony central, rig-talk, the gear page, seymour duncan, jemsite, sevenstring.org, and huge racks inc.
Please EMAIL me (I don't always get my PMs for some reason) if you're interested:
