Still great sounding amps.  The Fender Twin seemed to be the local favorite among the musicians in my A.O. when I was gigging throughout the 70's and 80's.



ETA:  Oh, and it sounds really...odd...to hear these things referred to as 'vintage'...sonny.

There's a big discussion on TGP what should and shouldn't be "vintage".  I figure a 38 year old amp has earned that title;)

I know this one has 1965 BF Vibrolux Reverb

Vintage...this stuff can't be vintage. I remember when it was all new.

Congrats.

I still remember when those silverfaces were dirt cheap because everybody wanted blackfaces.

Used to have a 1970 Vibrolux Reverb.  That was a great sounding amp with a strat or a tele

No shit.  And then fender RI'd them and was charging more than the real thing.....like Marshall bringing out the Vietnamese DSL when the old British ones were all over CL for $600

Beautiful...

I've got a couple of relatively stock 60's Fenders, one's a BF Bassman and the other is a '69 Vibrolux, which IMO is the perfect size Fender.

I've also built a couple of tweed / BF circuit one-offs from scratch as well for the folks who don't want the modern PCB amps but can't afford what the 60's examples are going for.

Old Fender amps are wonderous beasts.
