1983 Hand-Wired Fender Concert 1x12 Combo All Tube Amp
1983 Hand-Wired Fender Concert 1x12 Combo All Tube Amp
Sep 16, 2024
Description

  You are looking at a hand-wired 1983 Fender Concert 1x12" 60watt Combo Tube Amp. This is one of the last hand-wired Fender amps. It is in great condition for being 27 years old! The Fender Concert II was engineered by Paul Rivera, (of Rivera Amplification), when he worked for Fender in the early 1980's. Rivera's amp designs were Fender's response to Mesa Boogie and other hi-gain amps of the time. The amp has two channels, both with seperate tone controls. The first channel is the classic Fender clean tone and the second channel is a high gain overdrive channel for loud overdriven tube tone! This amp is full of features such as the effects loop in back with seperate SEND and RETURN level knobs, Pull knobs for "Bright" & "Mid" Boost, Real tube driven spring reverb, 2 channels, and a ElectroVoice EVM 12L Speaker you would have to pay $200+ for these days! Hand-Wired, Point to Point circuit for easy repair compared to replacing entire circuit boards these days. You will not find a hand-wired tube amp of this wattage with these features for this price these days. Go check online at Musiciansfriend.com or walk into Guitar Center and see what kinda price you have to pay for quality hand-wired tube amps. A good investment.

  The serial # is F331892.

  This Fender Concert has been upgraded with a Electrovoice Speaker model EVM 12L Series II. It is in fine condition and sounds beautiful.

  Here is a link to specs on the Fender Concert Amp. You will have to copy & paste it into a new browser window.

  The included 2-button footswitch controls the reverb on/off & channel switching functions. This original footswitch is very hard to come by and Fender no longer makes them. You can still control them manually on the front of the amp.

  There are a couple of small scuffs in the tolex at the bottom-rear edge of the amp but the amp is in fantastic shape for being 26 years old. The chrome chassis straps are tarninshed but can be polished or replaced with original Fender parts for under $15. I have replaced the chrome handle pieces and the chrome glides(feet). Electronically, the amp functions excellent without any issues. It sounds great clean or overdriven and there is nothing like the sound of original Fender tube-driven spring reverb

  Have a look at the photos and decide for yourself. If you would like more photos please don't hesitate to ask. I'll be glad to offer higher resolution photos or photos of more specific parts.
