1963 Fender Bandmaster
I have been wanting one of these for years and finally found a buy-it-now price within reach!

Awesome. Good ol' Fender "vibrato" tremolo. Or is it actually real vibrato?

It's trem.
And a great amp too.

One of the few shops in Glasgow that seems to actually deal in second hand stuff has one of those for about 400 notes in at the moment. Though it might be a blackface Bandmaster

Just got it in. Has a few issues:
1. Replaced choke and output xfmrs.
2. Grill wood had some pieces gouged out behind the cloth.
Plays nice, needs new power tubes. I'm buying a matched pair of EH 6L6s for it.

Do you also build amps, or do you just buy vintage amps and repair them.

I have built amps before (built an 18 watt Vox clone), but mostly just repair the amps I buy.

someone gouged it out?
Sorry about the OT, that's never a nice expensive. but glad you have it all up and running - nicely done.
