Members Fission Hole Posted January 1, 2013 Members Share Posted January 1, 2013 A 68 should be a non-reverb BM if that factors in for you. Especially already having a suitable cab (4 ohm), I'd lean to the BM still, but I like effect-y 'verb more than amp 'verb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Psyre Posted January 1, 2013 Members Share Posted January 1, 2013 68 fenders are my fav. Have 2. The drip edge makes them look so hot roddish in a skinny jean way. That being said, bandmasters are awesome enough as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Van_Muddlestein Posted January 1, 2013 Members Share Posted January 1, 2013 Bandmaster. Those amps are awesome clean and beautiful and if you get the chance to crank them up or run them with an attenuator their crunch is a force to be reckoned with.

Members echodeluxe Posted January 1, 2013 Members Share Posted January 1, 2013 Bf and SF bandmasters are awesome. But the bandmaster reverb is a whole different beast altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mlabbee Posted January 1, 2013 Members Share Posted January 1, 2013 The Bandmaster is all headroom - I can't get mine over about 3 and it's not even close to breaking up. I can't imagine how loud it would be if I cranked it. Perfect pedal platform, classic BF tone - really cuts through the mix. If you want crunchy amp distortion, though, go with the PRRI.

Members Mr. Friendly Posted January 2, 2013 Members Share Posted January 2, 2013 Originally Posted by echodeluxe Bf and SF bandmasters are awesome.

I ask because I'm going to check out an early 70's Bandmaster Reverb this weekend that's for sale locally. I'm interested in the BM Reverb because I've read such glowing accounts of regular Bandmaster's, and I assumed they were essentially the same sound.

Good sounding but they sound a bit different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree; love those old bandmasters... they sound a bit 'hotter' than a bassman, which are good as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
