Possible NAD

[Robb]

I'm looking to buy a 15 watts amp for Xmas and tomorrow morning I'm heading out to Montreal to check out 3 amps a guy has to show me, he didn't want to tell me what they are but he says I'll be impressed
He owns a Montreal North recording studio and seems to have an impressive collection.
Suspense... more tomorrow

Good luck sir.

Don’t remember if you gig or not. And pretty sure I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know. In a bedroom setting like I play in, 15w is plenty loud. The 20w Traynor will rattle windows if I turn it up. Heck. Even the 5w Fender I have will have Mrs. IbLive suggesting I’m too loud.

Which would be why I practice thru headphones.

 

[iblive]

Oh yeah…. I’ll speak for TTR masses. Buy all three. You have our permission.

Take note of what speaker being used if you can. Huge influence

Update : Got to try 3 amps.

1979 Fender princeton reverb

2006 Fender Princeton Recording amp

1965 Fender Band Master BF amp

The 1979 Princeton was ok, clean and getting dirty at around 7 and felt powerful.

The 2006 Princeton recording was good and sounded more round than the previous and I loved the attenuator.

The 1965 Band Master was awesome and was a clean beast with great classic rock tones and more tweakable tonality than both aforementioned.

Gave a deposit on the Band Master and bringing it home next monday , it'll be the perfect fit for my 1967 Band master 2x12 cab I already had .

Few pics (not mine but same condition) mine has the back panel.

I know, I said I was looking for a 15 watt amp but I'm so easy to tame

 

[CoyotesGator]

Headroom…all about the headroom.
Congratulations!!!

Congrats! Bandmasters are awesome! This is probably one of my best sounding amps.

Congrats! Nice amp! Fun ,Fun , Fun.

I'm looking for a grill cloth for the 1967 Band master cab, hard to find one that looks old and clean at the same time.

The Voodooman might be able to help you out Robb

Nice choice on the ‘65 Band Master. Also known for being very loud for just 15 watts…

Will you be inspecting its innards for functional integrity?

 

[67plexi]

Jump on the Bandmaster

 

[dmatthews]

Good choice!
