The Fender Bandmaster was produced, in various forms, from 1953 to 1974. Output ranged from around 25 watts at first, to 40 watts. Originally a combo, the piggyback head-and cabinet design appeared in 196i, and this configuration is used for most professional grade, higher powered amps to this day.
