Fender · cabinet
The Fender Dual Showman, introduced in the mid-1960s, was Fenders top output solid-state-rectified tube head, typically paired with a 2x15 cabinet of the kind catalogued here, built for bass-heavy headroom well beyond the smaller Fender combos. This 1968 example carries the silverface cosmetic era, identified by the drip-edge grille surround Fender used briefly before switching to the later aluminium trim, and post-dates the black-panel period collectors generally prize most, though silverface examples remain sought after in their own right. It is associated in this catalogue with Peter Green.
