FACTOIDS & TRIVIA
The Fender Pro, model 6G5-A, utilized the same same circuit as
its stablemates, the Bandmaster and Concert. The main
difference was its 8-ohm output transformer and single 15-inch speaker.
Since the Pro, Bandmaster and Concert used different speaker
configurations, they do sound different despite the nearly identical
circuitry. JBL speakers were factory options. Astute Fender
ampaholics will note the grill cloth on the amp shown is
non-original. The wheat grill wasn’t introduced until late
1962. The correct grill color for a 1961 Fender is oxblood
(maroon). The original cloth had been replaced by the previous
owner.
