A no-expense-spared build, this amp boasts a trio of genuine vintage Jensen P10R alnico magnet speakers, a full vintage tube set, and Mercury Magnetics transformers. Easily one of the rarest and most desirable tube amps from the latter half of the '50s, this narrow panel Tweed Bandmaster-style circuit is faithful in every detail, delivering the throaty overdriven roar and glassy clean snap indicative of Fender's Tweed era of production.\n\nA two-channel affair with individual Volume controls as well as Treble, Bass, and Presence controls shared between the four inputs, the Bandmaster hits that perfect sweet spot output-wise to deliver quintessential sizzle and roar at volumes that can keep up in a live situation yet are still manageable enough for smaller rooms and at-home noodling. While both channels have unique voicing characteristics, the real magic happens when you jumper the inputs and cascade the Volumes for additional thickness and power.\n\nThe circuit boasts top-tier components throughout, with a trio of Mercury Magnetics transformers, F\u0026amp;T filter caps, tubular Jupiter capacitors in the preamp, CTS pots, and cloth-covered leads. A combination of carbon comp and low-noise metal film resistors and mica caps round out the premium component choices. The tube compliment includes a matched pair of vintage Tung Sol 6L6GBs, with an RCA rectifier and a combination of GE and RCA valves in the preamp.\n \nThe Jensen P10Q speakers are a vintage trio, and the two bottom speakers feature immaculate blue\/green frames with original Jensen foil labels and clean 1957 date stamps. The upper Jensen P10R features a silver frame and a 1956 date code. These speakers are worth a small fortune on their own, integral to the rich response of the Bandmaster circuit.\n\nCosmetically, this amp is near mint with a lacquered tweed finger-jointed enclosure, premium leather handle, gleaming chrome faceplate, and black chicken head knobs.","brand":"Custom","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39732217839802,"sku":"rev-39970343","price":2999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/4437\/4714\/products\/medium_b7e7a6ae-3e78-495c-82f6-687714bb30ca.jpg?v=1751542721","url":"https:\/\/mmguitarbar.com\/products\/tweed-bandmaster-custom-built-boutique-tube-guitar-amp-3x10-w-1950s-jensen-p10r-speakers","provider":"Mike \u0026 Mike's Guitar Bar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
