Fender 1963 Blonde Showman Head & 1×12 Cab with Lansing Speaker & Tone Ring
Here's a Vintage Fender 1963 Blonde Showman Head & 1 x 12 Cab - with 'Tone Ring' - Tolex re-covered by late legendary cabinet builder Kerry Wright.
OVERVIEW
In blending the output stage of the high-powered tweed Twin and the preamp, tone stack, and tremolo effect of Fender’s first official Tolex-covered amp (the new Vibrasonic of 1959) the Showman was nothing entirely new. It was, however, Fender’s first piggyback amp, and therefore its first real leap from bandstand to arena stage. Also, it represented a depth of research and development that was perhaps more intense than that required by the majority of Fender’s new amplifier products, which were themselves no slouch in the R&D department.
