Members angus_old Posted September 7, 2006 Members Share Posted September 7, 2006 "I had played it about a month before I noticed I had been playing through it without the rectifier tube! Looking at the face I do not know why someone would cut out that part of the chasis! " it's all yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wilbo26 Posted September 7, 2006 Members Share Posted September 7, 2006 Yeah I saw this yesterday. I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. The guts look like they've been hacked, metal plate bolted on the front, etc. No way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ZachOmega Posted September 7, 2006 Members Share Posted September 7, 2006 Maybe for 60$...but not 160$... -Zach Omega Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dbx Posted September 7, 2006 Members Share Posted September 7, 2006 Even at $160 I would have it checked out before buying...can't see from the detail what the rectifier tube was replaced with but I can't understand why the chassis would need to be cut to do that mod...

Members CapnMarvel Posted September 7, 2006 Members Share Posted September 7, 2006 That guys sure likes to use exclamation points! Like this!: The amp looks like it's been mangled by Freddy Kreuger! Welding courtesy of Stevie Wonder! Will probably blow up and set fire to your house! Me? I'm shopping for cool Bandmaster/Bassmaster heads... But nothing today, it seems.

Members KillingAllJoy Posted September 7, 2006 Author Members Share Posted September 7, 2006 Oh yeah it has been modded and hacked for sure! Still not a bad price to get for modding or learning to mod. It would still beat the hell out of a Valve jr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RoboPimp Posted September 7, 2006 Members Share Posted September 7, 2006 must be a SS rectifier mod cuz I don't think an amp will work without a rectifier tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh. Right. The '66-'68 Bandmasters I'm bidding on have SS rectifiers. I'd assume a SF Champ would, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members angus_old Posted September 7, 2006 Members Share Posted September 7, 2006 Originally posted by RoboPimp yeap, bandmaster is SS rectified, Bandmaster Reverbs are tube rectified. that's wierd... why would the reverb change that part of the circuit?

Members ZachOmega Posted September 7, 2006 Members Share Posted September 7, 2006 Because then they could use a Pro Reverb Chassis with a Bandmaster Reverb faceplate. Also, Tremolux Amps are tube rectified. I love mine! -Zach Omega Originally posted by onbongos that's wierd... why would the reverb change that part of the circuit?
