The D-series circuits represented Fender's shift from octal preamp tubes, e.g. Like the other larger Fender amps, the Bandmaster used cathode-biased 6L6G output tubes, a 6SC7 paraphase inverter, and two more 6SC7s in the preamp with a 5U4 rectifier. BANDMASTER PROThe first Bandmaster was in all respects almost identical to the Fender Pro, a dual-6L6 26-watt amp with a 1x15 speaker, with one difference: separate treble and bass controls, where the Pro like all other Fender amps to that time only had a single "Tone" knob. ![]() Transition models had this period features with smooth blonde tolex covering/sparkle gold grille ![]() In the third, Dudrow sits at bottom left and Parsons at bottom right.6G7-A Feb 1961-1962: Oxblood grille 1962-July 1963 gold wheat grille It’s easy to imagine that these three photographs depict the 1942 transfer of the baton from Chief Bandmaster Dudrow, conducting the band in the top photo, to Mus1c James Parsons, who’s conducting it in the second photo.

The San Diego band may have been featured after the war at Balboa Park, the site of the Expo, but until more details about Dudrow’s remarkable career are known, it’s impossible to know. Note: The above referenced article suggests that Dudrow’s service as bandleader at the San Diego station came after World War I but also that his band “was one of the features of the San Diego Exposition.” Both could not have happened as the Expo closed on January 1, 1917, and he couldn’t have been in charge of a band at the San Diego station during the years of the Expo because the Navy didn’t establish its San Diego station until about 1920.

He once “tooted a horn and heard the echo rebound agains the sinister rock walls of the channels of the Straits of Magellan,” in 1907, as he sailed with Theodore Roosevelt and the battleships Washington and Tennessee. He visited Greensboro several times in early 1942 and auditioned the A&T College and Dudley High School students who would form the nucleus of B-1, and he was B-1’s first leader.ĭudrow’s father was a drummer boy with the Union Army during the Civil War, and he “inherited his father’s musical ability, to become a skilled trap drummer.” He enlisted in the Navy in 1906 and spent most of his career at sea, “and he has a salty yarn for every year.” Dudrow was brought out of retirement by the Navy to recruit the bandsmen who would form B-1. ![]()
