![]() The amp’s owner – musician and VG reader Tommie James, sums it up. Add to that the illusive feature set of this early example and you’ve got an amp that really sets Fender fans’ pulses racing. The tweed 5E7 Bandmaster that preceded it – the first of Fender’s quirkily appealing 3×10″ combos (profiled here in October ’16) – is a rare and exotic beast in its own right, but the short-lived 3×10″ in Tolex with newfangled front-mounted control panel is utter hen’s teeth. Such is the case with the 1960 “center-volume” Fender Bandmaster, model 5G7. The earliest renditions of our gear icons are often the most valuable, but on many occasions it’s the transition models – those that bridged one era to the next – that elicit the most excitement from real enthusiasts.
