Here we’re looking at a Fender Bandmaster head and cabinet set, built during 1964 at the Fender plant in Fullerton, California. This was immediately referred to as the ‘Piggyback’ design and every other manufacturer soon followed. This solution makes so much sense and became so common that it seems obvious now, but simply separating the amplifier and speakers into separate cabinets was a breakthrough. So a highly innovative solution was found. As power levels started to rise, physically repairing amps took more and more space.
