A Bandmaster should be perfect for guitar. If you want it to have a lower volume at break-up, like the Tremolux, have a technician put in a resistor to drop the high voltage. That’s about the only difference between the two amps. The Tremolux also had a tube rectifier. I believe there is enough room in the Bandmaster to install one.

I have a vertical standing Fender 2×12 cabinet with blue back Utah speakers dated to ’65. The cab/amp mount holes measure to 24 1/2 inches. I assume this cab was made for the Bandmaster. It’s dimensions are 29×39×11 1/2. There is a small metal plate on the bottom of the cab with a number P09342. I read a couple comments elsewhere on the net about these cabs only being produced for a few moths between the fall of ’66 to early spring ’67. I’m looking for more info on this. I assume a Bassman from this period would be OK to run through this and am trying to decide which to get a Bassman or Bandmaster. I play loud blues/rock-a-billy style with no effects, just natural break-up. I had a ’64 Tremolux that I liked, sold it in a fit a fit of stupid.

The Bandmaster head is 4 ohms. As long as you don’t drive the power amp into clipping, 16 ohms should be fine, but it won’t be as loud as a 4 ohm cabinet.
