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.  For those astute Fender ampaholics… 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.  The original cloth had been replaced with wheat cloth by the previous owner.
