$2500??.. Those guys need to cut down on their reefer intake... For that kind of money I could buy an original BF Showman head, BF Bassman head,, and a damn nice speaker cab, and still have enough left over for a clean modern pedal steel amp....

| The 1959 Fender Price list has the original Bandmaster priced at $309.50,and that's what most Bandmaster buyers paid,unless they lived next door to Manny's or were somebody in the biz. MF's $2500 price is equivalent to $294 in 1957 dollars,so what you'd pay for the reissue is as close as makes no difference to what you'd have paid for an original. |

Interestingly enough, the Victoria 35310 costs $2660 new.
But bash Fender for price-gouging all you want.
