An interesting vintage semi-hollow electric made in San Antonio Texas in about 1965 (maybe earlier – I’m not sure). As always – excuse the poor playing and sound quality.
I’m having trouble uploading my videos so I am having to break them up into 2-3 minute segments. Please watch Bandmaster 2 video which is this continued. I am still experimenting on microphone placement but I think I’ve got it now. This is the 1959 Bandmaster with my 1963 Tele which is a great combo. I also kick in a 1964 Super Reverb and my vintage TS808 Tube Screamer.
This is my #1 gigging amp. It is pure amp and nothing like the reissues. This amp has a lot of headroom and you really need a Tube Screamer to get this amp to go into overdrive. If you were going to buy one vintage amp, this would be the one, the Holy Grail. I will demo it on my next videos. Watch the Bandmaster video first. Disclaimer: I don’t play this amp in this video but I do have several videos playing this amp. Look at all of my videos.
