Drew's passion is music and restoring old beat up vintage amplifiers to players condition. He might even be willing to sell some of these although he's having a hard time parting with them once completed.

The list to the left and below shows what he's accomplished so far. Have a look and feel free to send an e-mail with your comments.

Fender Bandmaster 6G7 1960 Started out as a beat up orphaned chassis. Probably was a head, but was restored as a 3x10 combo.

 

Fender Bassman 1958 An orphaned chassis restored to the form that inspired Jim Marshall's amps and fueled the British invasion.
