Fender '57 Bandmaster Guitar Amplifier

- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- The late-'50s tweed-covered Fender BandmasterTM guitar amplifier combined great looks with sweet tone and powerful performance. Hailed as one of the true holy-grail amps among guitarists and collectors, vintage examples are rare and highly sought after.
The new '57 Bandmaster amp now joins our prestigious Custom series, with all-tube hand-wired circuitry and premium components. We've faithfully reproduced the classic 5E7 circuit, which pumps about 26 watts through three 10" alnico-magnet speakers, and we enlisted Jensen® to help create the P10R-F driver (a Fender exclusive), which is voiced for warm, sensitive response. The Bandmaster amp's harmonically rich clean tones are perfect for vintage rock, blues and country styles, and its naturally touch-sensitive overdrive tone sounds electrifying--especially when cranked up.

great review. so refreshing to see someone actually demo something and not trying to highlight their abilities(or lack of them in some cases). I watched quite a few videos and was really interested to see what basic pedals (which I frustratingly couldnt find) would do so thanks for that. not all of us want to widdle self indulgently away in the fender clean. Thanks!
The amp sounds way better than what you hear in this demo, I have one and it's a big difference. The first part sounds like a little CHAMP but trust me it's better, way better.
Saw recently Ronnie Montrose on YT saying he bought a used Bandmaster with 3 10's for 90 bucks at a garage sale and used it for his first album.....every song. No distortion boxes (except bad motor scooter-big muff) Had to rebuild his speakers every-so often...as he 'ran it full up." Hah! I always thought he used a Marshall. You see? It 'is' in the hands.......and the producer......and the amp......but mostly in the hands.
Won’t get fooled again by The Who is a tweed bandmaster also...I’ve also seen Live concert Photo’s with the amp. Joe Walsh sent it to him.
Amp really came alive with the reverb. Probably the best review I saw on this amp so far.
Beautiful playing with that tele!
That's the charm and a common tonal characteristic among these old ("tweed era") Fender amps!
What an awesome sounding amp
I've got Clarks version of this amp, the Tyger. I've found you can get a much smoother overdrive while using a Les Paul by jumping the channels, like this chap has done, turning both volumes up to around 9, but then turn down the treble to 2 1/2 and the bass to round 1, or thereabouts. Not a bash on this guy but to my ear his overdrive sounds a little too trebley and fuzzy. The controls on this circuit are very interactive.
Thanks---good to know.
The Bassman is 50 watts, 4x10" speakers and just has a little fuller sound. It does not break up as fast as the Bandmaster.
First good demo of this cool amp. Thanks
Note to self: the good stuff starts at 5:22!
FABULOUS DEMO!!!!!!!!!!
A pretty good review of the Fender '57 Bandmaster and, it would appear, a pretty good amp! NstuffMusic gives consistently good demo's in my opinion.
That is a Fender American Vintage 52 Telecaster and it is for sale at nstuffmusic
Fantastic Demo.
You guys always do such excellent reviews! Hope business is good as a result. =)
Great demo . Great sound!
Guitars and amps have to sound like this - very tasteful anyway!
Add to that the preamp is slightly different ,, the phase inverter is very different.. the bandmaster uses a cathodyne PI and the bassman the long tail PI. This affectss sound a lot. Bassman should sound more modern and the bandmaster more vintage.. The cathodyne tends to break up in a nasty fashion so putting a grid stopper in front of the cathodyne limits this.. Oh and put a 12ay7 in the V1.
@ MrAnders1976. It also had a 12AT7 driven PI like the Bassman.
@ MrAnders1976. The Bandmaster had a 7025 in V1. A low noise 12AX7.
Great demo, btw!
Nice video!! nice amp but I love my vintage 68 Band Master TFL I got for 60 bucks last week at a yard sale.
Great sounding amp
Beautiful clean on this amp,, Classic fender through 3 p10r jensen speakers.. The only thing i wander is why Fender added a 12ax7 in V1,, This should be a 12ay7 with a gain factor of 45 instead of the 12ax7 with a gain factor of 100 (most gainy 12an7 type).
Walking on the moon!!
I’ve had Vintage Noiseless pickups on my Tele.
What'd you think?
N Stuff Music they are great, especially with distortion.
I agree, I like them a lot as well, its so nice to plug in and just hear tone.

Beautiful vintage sounding amp. Not a pedal platform. Reverb and delay enhance tone not necessarily overwhelm it.
good review!
It's better to have mark lucas on this review as he do a lot more precise and balance review, detailed in a manner of honest opinion as well.
I own both a Victoria 35310 and Clark Tyger. The Fender looks/sounds nice. The Vicky and Clark each sound and look better than the Fender.
Is their a difference in cost?
Sounds glorious with the Tele!What delay is being used at 8:24?Is the telecaster a 52 reissue?
+modo03 No idea at this point. None of that info was included with the video...
Great sound but how loud was it in the room at Vol.at 9? Probably not bedroom volume. LOL
Other than one less speaker, what is the difference between this amp and the '59 ltd?
is this thing ridicously loud like a super or can i get by using this in small venues too
MONTROSE! - 1st lp...
that amp rips brosky
The mids and highs sound great when you jump it, but the low end seems blatty...? I wish it had more focus.
What is blatty?
Poor miking, small alnicos, tube rectifier all act to make bass flubby...
What kind of telecaster is that?
LIKE
не лучшая гитара для демонстрации этого усилителя. Она совсем для других целей предназначен.
Even with reverb it sounds dead.
Is everyone at n stuff bald?
sounds poorly miked and boomy/boxy, as most amp demos do. i don't understand whats so difficult about it.
+michael Woods Check out any of our videos that were uploaded from 2014 and on. they will sound 1000% better!!
You tell em Mikey!
