I heard Fender Corporate Shills were seen having breakfast with The Groundhogs Legal Team, and some guys from Magic Images and Light's production company.
I think it's probably gonna come out that the groundhog's coming out was shot in Area 51.

Ciao Bassisti
there seems to be some rumors going around out there amongst the various bass forums about impending demise of GENZ-BENZ
while I have yet to receive a definitive answer from my inside sales rep, here’s what I do know:
- yes, Fender does own GENZ BENZ: about 4 years ago, Fender purchased Kaman Music, which owned GENZ at the time –
- up until recently, Fender has pretty much allowed GENZ to do their own thing, but I was informed in mid-January that GENZ was being relocated from Arizona to the Fender HQ in California
- GENZ did not have a presence at NAMM in January, and us dealers have no new product information to share
- in light of all this, there has been some significant price reductions throughout the product line – if you are considering a purchase of any new gear from GENZ BENZ, no is the time to take advantage of some great pricing – give me a call if interested!

Is there really no new news?
The Agency nor NSA are able to keep secrets this well... |

The beginning of the "fire sales"? I hope not.

I guess we'll find out everything soon enough. In the meantime, the amps are still for sale so that's what should really matter to everyone.
