HNAD - Vintage Fender Content

Just picked this up for a cool $400.00

 

1949 Fender Deluxe.

 

Man, this thing sounds great - picture a rounder sounding and slightly more polite tweed Deluxe and you'll get the picture.

 

Haven't had the chance to crank it yet but it sounds amazing.

 

Here are some pic with my Broadcaster.

$400?!? Are you serious? Even in that poor cosmetic shape, if everything works that's a steal. Congrats!

 

I would love to hear some clips if you get a chance to record a few.

The mojo is strong with this one.

Spectacular get!

Yeah, it's like I always say here - don't waste your money on low end junk when you can spend the same (or less) and get something cool that will last forever.

This one was on ebay - I was the only bidder.

It shipped yesterday, came today (a tube was broken of course ) but I had a set of JJ 6v6s from my tweed deluxe (56) that were fine - I had replaced them thinking there was a prob but it was a loose solder joint).

I'll post some clips - it is just full and clean and warm down low - kind of compressed. Sounds really pretty for clean stuff.

Amazing find! Congrats!

 

Not quite sure what I'm looking at though, was it spray painted black?

Not only do I approve of the amp and guitar, but you've got the same quote in your signature as me

[EllenGtrGrl]

VERY cool! HNAD!

[Flogger59]

Very nice, indeed.

[milosch]

But there's no thirty channel.

[mrbrown49]

Very cool.

[GuitarSlim101]

Very nice. My main amp is a 5E3 clone I built a couple years ago, but I'd love to get an old Deluxe some day. I dig the way it looks, too. It'd match my old Dano Convertible.

[El Glom-o]

What kind of speaker is in it, please?

[Strung_Out]

very cool find, congrats on getting that amp for a steal of a price.

[mrbrown49]

Is that a two pronger on there?

[Furtive]

$400? I know you get deals, but you gotta be kidding me. Congratulations on a great score.

Sorry mate... it's nowhere near as versatile as a Mustang II, a Super Champ XD or a Valvetronix.

I say throw it in the trash.




































Hopefully my trash!

[guitarcapo]

Does it need a cap job?

grounded AC cord?

[BG76]

It needs a cord.

 

The caps are fine. It's not humming or anything but I'm going to keep my eyes on them.

 

This one was on ebay - nobody else even bid. Bought it yesterday arrived today.

 

The 6v6s fell out and broke but I had a set of JJs, so I'm not even going to bother complaining.

[ExiledCrow]

The fact that you were the ONLY bidder surprises me more than the price ...

[hardtdc]

Bejesus, that's awesome.

[ten56gibby]

SCORE!!! Too cool, man. Congrats and HNAD!

[Doctor Morbius]

Happy New Vintage Fender Amp Day!
