So, the gloves are off... Thomann is now suing Fender: https://www.thomann.de/blog/en/inside/thomann-takes-legal-action-against-fender/

I've developed quite the addiction. It started with a Yamaha BP-1 I got for 120 Euros. My stable so far: Green Audio ME-1 Yamaha BP-1 Eden Navigator SWR M2 Marcus Miller SWR Interstellar Overdrive Trace-Elliot SMX Trace-Elliot V-Type Ada MB-1 Hughes& Kettner B.A.T.T./ Bass Master...

I just got this and it sounds really nice. Really hard to find here in Germany. Time to build a TE-only pedal board - SMX Dual Compressor, SM-7 EQ and Quad Chorus! 🥰

I'm still using my old Nady 201 bought in the early 90s. Back then it was illegal to use in Germany, today it is legal - and works just fine.
