Cool '57 Bandmaster reissue - Yeah!

This is the Custom Shop hand wired '57 Bandmaster. It lasted 5 minutes before we each took turns having our way with it. The look on Gary's face is priceless! What an awesome amp. Great breakup without having to get stupid loud.

Default '57 Bandmaster reissue - Yeah!

Cool, I didn't know there was a Tweed Bandmaster. I have the '57 Tweed Twin CS. It's awesome but loud.
Nice riffing.

It and chicken and egg thing - the grin is because of the sound! Pat Simmons and Tommy Johnston of the Doobie Brothers often shared one of those in the studio. I think it belonged to Pat.

They aren't cheap ($2499) but they are such great amps. And... since they are hand wired they are easier to repair so I can always justify it the that value sense.

Not to mention the TONE!!!

You could strap a couple of those things to the fat end of a Saturn V and shortly thereafter you'd be whizzing past the moon.

I've been wanting to try one of these for quite some time but there are none in my area.
