I have a really sweet sounding Tweed Bandmaster clone professionally built by Jack Kolb of International Vintage Guitar in New Orleans from a Weber 5E7 kit. Looks great, nice aged patina to the tweed, excellent cosmetic condition with some very light scuffing in a couple of spots.
According to Jack all caps were upgraded from the ones that came with the kit to USA made caps, including Sozos. One of the 3 Weber Signature Alnico 10" speakers was upgraded to a Weber 10A125. Jacks and other components were upgraded as well.
Tweed tone for days, very versatile due to the different amounts of gain you can get by choosing or jumping channels and using the very interactive tone knobs. Great amp, but I've got too many and this one has to make room for some holiday cheer.
$650 shipped in con US. No trades please.

| Well that's a screamin' deal. Even if you don't like 10's, throw a 15 in there. Wow. |

Marc, I'd love some pics when you get them. I'm interested. My old bandmate played a real one for years (I played a '59 Bassman) and I loved the sound of it.
Thanks.

John, send me your email addy and i can send some crapy camera phone pics now, will try to get better tomorrow. All in all, it looks like a tweed Bandmaster with no faceplate and a more aged patina than most RI Bassmans. Very little wear except slight wear/scuffing on the top corners.
Cartwright, thanks man! It's a screamin' amp. |
