Fender Music Master Bass Amp
Price Paid (ebay)/ Price New: Example: $285/n/a (out of production)
Year Manufactured: 1970-1982

Specs: http://www.ampwares.com/ffg/musicmaster_bass.html

Sound: 5/5: I'm used to playing on solid state amps, however was in the market for a tube amp for practice and recording. Before I bought this amp I tested out several other vintage amps (most of them Fenders as well). I have to say that this amp was all I ever dreamed of in a nice little 12 Watter. It is a pretty loud amp, and really warms up when you push the volume past 4. It has that classic tube tone that Fender amps are so famous for.

Instrument Quality: 5/5: Its a vintage Fender amp, its built like a tank. The first week I had it it was on an end table and fell off onto a hardwood floor. I almost poo poo my pants, but after checking it over there was absolutely no damage (physical or otherwise). Solid.

Playbility: 4/5: While this is technically a bass amp, many people (myself included) use it as a guitar amp. It plays really well and really complements each players unique guitar sound. There are only two knobs on the amp, a volume and tone, and it takes pedals really well. I have a digitech distortion factory hooked up to it and its amazong how many different sounds I can get out of the thing.

Overall Value: 4/5: The reason I gave this a 4/5 is simply because the speaker in the amp is a bit dissapointing. Don't get me wrong it sounds great, but I have heard amps with weber blue dogs in them that have improved headroom. Overall however the amp is great and I would recommend it to anyone without thinking twice.
