MikeZ	1968 Fender Bandmaster...just got it at GC my friend and i went into boston today, he was looking for a jcm 900. i convinced him that the 900 didnt sound that great (those things have a really bad clean tone if you ask me), and we found a 1968 bandmaster head in the corner for 500 bucks and bought. is this a good deal? its a silverface, but in really good condition. how many watts will its pair of 6L6GC's put out? whats the general consenseus on this amp? i know its not one of the blackface ones, but it had a great clean tone. any comments much appreciated! mikez
