Comments: Part of quintet of amps that Fender called "The Professional Amplifiers." The series included the Bandmaster, Concert, Super, and Vibrosonic. Within a year the Bandmaster evolved into the Blonde piggyback head and 2x12 cabinet. The controls on the early Brown Bandmaster changed from the "Center Volume" faceplate to "Volume, Treble, Bass" faceplate in the spring of 1960.
