Fender Jazzmaster Ultralight amp head - trades? - $395 (Waynesboro)
QR Code Link to This Post
My daily player is an old Polytone Mega Brute head. I have been curious about these Jazzmaster amps for some time. I bought this on Reverb recently. Although I could get some good tones with my ES 125 and Tele, my ear is attuned to the darker Polytone; so, sharing this one on. The IEC power cord and a speakon to ¼” adapter are included. These heads were designed to be used with the matching Fender 2 ohm 12” cab. I have no problem getting it loud enough through my 8 ohm cab to keep up with a drummer.
As far as I can tell, the built in effects are the same as those in the Fender Super Champ XD amps of the same era. Tasty in small doses. Overall condition is good. Some long unused pots a little scratchy. Some chips in the rear mounted speakon jack. The adapter still twist locks and makes a good speaker out connection.
The 2nd channel is designed to yield edge of breakup tones. This video lets you hear the range the amp is capable of. Fender Jazzmaster Ultralight Guitar Amp Demo video
