![]() ![]() But to do that even, I would have to change the power transformer or add a small filament transformer somewhere to augment as the 40-18100 PT only delivers 1.1 amp (and it runs pretty hot even with the one 12AX7 and two 6AQ5's I used). I too have left plenty of room on the board for further modification but, in my case, because I started with a little Acoustic G-20 as the donor amp, my chassis would be the more limiting part for me to expand should I later decide to redo with added tubes (as well as the space around the speaker when mounted in the cabinet). I built one last year, but mine was only slight modded from the original, So I used the solid state rectifier and the replacement transformer set for the Musicmaster from Classictone (PT = 40-18100, OT = 40-18101, Driver = 40-18093). ![]() They will tell the story.What power transformer is being used? I see that you have modded yours using a different one as you have switched to one that supports a 5V rectifier tube. Chrome chassis and handle supports are pitted, scratched and a little rusted. The instrument control bezel does have some minor scratches. A few light scratches, scuffs and minor tears. Gig Ready on Arrival!Ĭosmetics: Excellent Condition.

This is a affordable USA Fender Tube Amp from the 1970's. It should be noted here that, as is often the case, what is good for a guitar is also good for harp, and the Musicmaster Bass amp really shines with the sounds of a little tin sandwich being pumped into it through a decent microphone. If cranked, the clean becomes a fabulous dirty crunch with plenty of room to be heard in a smaller combo situation. The amp can provide excellent clean tones at lower volumes. Nothing fancy here, but it delivers in the sound department. There is a simple slider on/off switch, one knob for volume, one for tone. The speaker is a single 12” Eminence Alnico. Laid out simply, the amp produces twelve watts with either 6v6 or 6aq5 preamp tubes. The Musicmaster Bass amp is a great way to get good tone from an honest vintage Fender tube amp without needing to take out a bank loan. Gradually the news spread that the Musicmaster Bass, while doing little for bass amplification, could flat scorch with a guitar, a situation which was something of a mirror of Fender’s initial bass amp offering, the Bassman. Somewhere along the line, however, a guitarist was hard up for something to power his six string, and a guitar got plugged into one of these things. Created as a practice amplifier for bedroom work, the amp really doesn’t do much at all for bass, with many bassists feeling that above 4 on the volume knob there really just isn’t much to it. One particular piece of equipment that illustrates this point well is Fender’s Musicmaster Bass amplifier. As is often the case, those low-dollar pieces of past years that got passed over so readily have become items of value to players these days.
