I found the slight decrease in perceived low-end compared with a bassman made it easy to work and sound great in a band context, especially where there was a second guitar, keys, and/or horns.

Thanks to AJ for the attention and the quick delivery. The new reissue is the max Fender has a real winner, the amp is so touch sensitive and with an outrageous tone when cranked. My old amp was some what unreliable and sounded good when it worked.

The bigger cab and extra speaker made for a bigger sound than say, a tweed super, but not as big as a bassman.īottom line - it was a really nice amp (and I probably should have kept it and continued to break in the speakers). Having owned an original 3-10 Bandmaster I was real anxious to try the reissue. The Bandmaster's touch-sensitive overdrive tone is perfect for classic rock, country, and blues styles. The 57 Tweed Band Kemper Profile Pack seeks to recreate the sound of an original 1957 5E7 Fender Bandmaster with original 1957 Jensen Alnico P10 speakers. Using the classic 5E7 circuit, the Bandmaster boasts 26 watts of all-tube tone through 3 x 10' Alnico-magnet Jensen speakers. For current Euro pricing check our US dollar amount.

The cleans and overdriven sounds are certainly tweed, but not identical to a bassman (or a deluxe, for that matter). The Fender '57 Bandmaster has been added to Fender's prestigious Custom Series amplifiers. Fender / Bandmaster / 1959 / Tweed / Amp 1 2 Instrument Description: Tweed 3x10 Bandmaster original tweed with 1954 p 10 R speakers. Certainly less overall volume than a tweed bassman. There are a lot of things to like about that amp - it had a bassman-sized cabinet (but still just 3x10's), was surprisingly light weight and easy to carry (especially compared to my Super Reverb), was very responsive, and had great clean and overdriven sounds.
