Good luck! If everything is in prime shape (no ripped Tolex) and the amp has been re-capped you might get 75% of that.
I sold my 68 Bandmaster Reverb amp separately form the 69 'large style' 2x12 cabinet. Both were road-worn and the head had cutouts in the front for 4" speaker and fan. It had been recapped and re-transformered, and needed new tubes. Think I got $650 total. Cost me $250 in 1975!

Mike I gotta disagree. I've seen really ratty looking blackface Super Reverbs go for over $1000, good looking Silverface combos for $800 and better, my 73 Super Reverb was evaluated by a friend at a vintage guitar store for around $1200 (it's in better shape than 80% of the pre 1975 Fenders you'll see, I'm second owner, and it's been kept in a vinyl cover for 30 years)

I think a 67 Bandmaster in good shape could easily go for $1000 or better if he wants to hold out for the right buyer. Completely vintage without a cap job, all original, it might go for more to a vintage nut. Especially with no rips and tears, and minimum yellowing of the grille cloth. That can be cleaned up by the way but you have to be careful.

If it's in good shape, just keep advertising, you might find a buyer some day. Try an Ebay sale and set the starting price high and specify 'local sale only' so you don't have to worry about shipping. That's how I eventually sold my cabinet - a guy in New York, but he had a friend locally who picked it up for him.

Billy - the Super Reverbs were much louder than the Bandmaster, which was rated at 40 watts. That was my problem using it in a band where we didn't mic everything to the PA - I had to crank that sucker up most of the way, then use a booster pedal for leads.

So I had the amp tech I use install a new pot and while he had it, recap it.

Now it sounds so good I can't sell it...


Well nothing wrong with that! Man, I hated lugging that 90 lb cabinet around. The head was not light, either.
If I hadn't modified the head as I had done in the early 80s I no doubt would have got more money for mine, but it was just collecting dust in my spare bedroom.

I can relate. I had heating issues with my super reverb (ab763), so I took it in for service.

After I got it back, I just couldn't get rid of it because it just sounds too good. (nothing distorted is decent, but the cleans just blow you away and I don't like a waffling cone very much, so it's pretty much at the top barring an old Fender Bassman Ten that I've been screwing with for years and accidentally got to a good place as far as tone goes.

Once they sound that good, you can't get rid of them or you'll regret it.

Makes you feel like a puss though, as all of a sudden the regular workhorse amps don't cut the mustard like the fender stuff does..

What's next JAZZ? oh gawd help us.. lol
