TUBES
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.

I have an April 1963 Band Master cream tolex blonde knobs..Brown grille..only one with blonde knobs I’ve ever seen..
It’s a 5G7 circuit. At least that’s what it says on mine.
How could he possibly ruin the amp….he just slips it out of the head box and puts in a 3×10 combo cab….whats he going to do throw the empty head box away…he would be a fool and I doubt that would be done….if he wants to go back to a head he slips it back into the hard box, no harm done….by the way they are all 4 ohm and no prob with three 8 0hm speakers….I have a 1958 Tweed Bandmaster 3c10, it has three 8 ohm speakers and the amp is 4 ohm.

Please don’t do this. Don’t ruin the value of your amp.
