Glad you like the Studio 40. I haven't done much with adding my own presets yet. Looks like it's pretty easy.(Much easier than some multi-effects pedals I've had in the past.) I still am having issues with the bluetooth functionality, though. It doesn't want to recognize my phone when pairing to stream music for practicing. It does pair when using the Fender Tone App on both my tablet and my phone. I did have problems when using the Tone App on my tablet. It would lose the connection and I would have to go through a certain order to get it back. Fender gave me those instructions and told me that it isn't as friendly with a tablet as it is with the phone. I will have to use it more with both to see if those issues are fixed or if that is why the original owner got rid of it. The pairing for streaming is not that big of an issue, as I have a cord to plug it in, anyway. Plus couldn't use the Tone App at the same. Time will tell. Part of the risk you take when you buy used, I suppose. Still have time to take back to GC if I can't get it squared away.

I had the same experience.

I can stream music over Bluetooth, but I cannot use the Tone App at the same time. I suppose that's a technical limitation with Bluetooth more than anything. But I really don't need to modify presets while I'm playing anyway, but it would have been nice to be able to select presets from the app while streaming.

So far I am liking it, I need to figure out what I want to do for my own presets, or try to figure out how to re-create the ones I like that are in my Line6 BassPOD XT.

Hey, also, I need a Rumble club member number! Where do I sign up!?!

For us bass players that would be since 1951, or 68 years. Leo Fender and his inventions changed the world for the better. :bassist: Fenders Are Fantastic! :bassist:

Where I started!

I got into bass in '67. My first purchases were a used '63 Fender Jazz and a used Fender Bassman brownface.

My first purchase after I started playing again in 2013?

A MIM '63 Jazz repro. And then a Rumble v3 200 combo on release.

Once hooked...

The only 'problem' with the '63 Jazz?

Having to bust the neck loose for truss rod adjustments. Forgot about that. :banghead:

Grrrr...

and the first brownfaced Bassman 'piggy-back' head & cab. Also first tolex Bassman as Fender moved away from tweed. Most don't know that Leo Fender invented the first amp head and separate speaker cabinet with the 1960 brownfaced Showman also in blonde tolex & oxblood grilleclothe.

Must be a gas to play through one of those old bassman amps, specially if it has been gone through by a good tech!!
