You find great tones in the reissue plus more stability. https://reverb.com/item/495254-fender-custom-shop-57-handwired-tweed-bandmaster-3x10 https://reverb.com/item/10817724-fender-57-bandmaster-custom-shop-tweed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members onelife Posted October 12, 2018 Members Share Posted October 12, 2018 The Vibro King is a good choice but it's brutal to carry around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted October 13, 2018 Members Share Posted October 13, 2018 The re-series was in a local store in the 90s. They are brutal to play as well. They don't sing until extremerly loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Daehtihs Posted October 19, 2018 Author Members Share Posted October 19, 2018 Those do sound great, if I find a good deal on one I may pull the trigger, probably buy an attenuator while at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Blackface Posted November 19, 2018 Members Share Posted November 19, 2018 Weber speakers could probably build you something like that for a reasonable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Daehtihs Posted January 16, 2019 Author Members Share Posted January 16, 2019 Weber speakers could probably build you something like that for a reasonable price. That's a thought! And of course it would come with Weber speakers which are my fav. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WRGKMC Posted January 21, 2019 Members Share Posted January 21, 2019 I bought a new pair of 12" Weber on sale to try with my Blackface Bassman. Wound up pulling them back out. I don't know if it was just the particular model or the set being a poor match but they were one or the worst set of crap speakers I've ever used. I suspected they would sound bad when I first unboxed them. They produced an almost basket ball tone when you tapped the cones. They might sound better in an open backed can but they sounded like garbage in a closed back 2X12. Too much bass, mids barked like a dog with laryngitis and the highs were practically non existent. I'll likely sell them on eBay at some point. They only have a hour or two use on them. Eminence, Jensen, Oxford, CTS, Altec, JBL, and even some Celestion like the Creamback's sound great on Fenders. Maybe some of the other Weber's sound better but I don't plan on wasting time and money finding out. If I had one of those bandmasters I'd definitely use the Jensen P10R on that amp. I use 4 of them with my Bassman in an open backed 4X10 cab and they sound excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
