Just to get this thread sort of back on topic, I'll share a photo I took that I planned on posting tomorrow for Fender Friday. It's of a ad poster hanging in a Maje of Paris store in the market square in the city center where I live. A Jazz and a Tellie! And for those who didn't notice, a model, too.

I [take] your point, but in this case, it was old tech that the newbies couldn't figure out. I'm sure there are other stories along that line, too. For example, I worked with a senior guy at Amoco when I worked for the Pipeline company designing SCADA products. He wouldn't retire, so management replaced him with a couple of newbies. He was too close to retirement for the company to axe him, so he just sat in his office assembling ships inside of bottles (and getting paid 6 figures for it (in the mid '80s!)). Of course, a serious problem arose on a major pipeline running from Texas up to the refinery in Whiting, IN that the newbies were clueless about and couldn't resolve it. They finally asked for his help. He solved the problem in minutes...and retired the next day, once he knew that the company knew that they needed him!
Was it on there? When I first saw mention of it, I went to the Fender web site and it wasn't there. I didn't find any of the usual retail suspects showed it available, either.
I'm gonna take a wild guess: someone 'jumped the gun'. Oopsie!.
Also going back on topic: The new Adam Clayton ACB 50 bass amp has disappeared from the Fender website! What? Are they rethinking it already?
The original link no longer works and a search doesn't find it, either!
But the link to the ACB 50 manual still works, though the PDF no longer has the review page up front, nor does it contain any languages other than English!
Well, not absolutely entirely, mat. See my comments above.
Thank goodness, the Rumble 800 COMBO links on your Wiki still work ... ... ... for now!!

How's about something we can axially see?

Yes, love those Fenders. All 3 of 'em...

I hadn't noticed the necks before. You're right. Holy smokes, they look like crescent moons.Cheesy Pete! I hope it's just the camera's fisheye lens and those guitars don't really need the serious truss-rod adjustments it appears!
I won't comment on what the other model may need with that see-through lace!

Aha! As I thought. Another evil Ampeg conspiracy!

Hello, I'm Gabe and I buy too much gear. I'd like to join the Rumble club. I've had a F.R.40 for years, and have always loved it. Recently purchased a Stage 800 combo +210 cab. So far its incredible. Unlimited tonal possibilities, and all around fun. Have not played it with full band in a live setting. Any advice or warnings would be appreciated.
@gabe878, you are now member #1535 in the Fender Rumble Club. Congratulations and welcome. Please put that number in your TalkBass Signature for safe keeping. Then make yourself at home here and on your Rumble Club Wiki page, the repository of all Rumbling wisdom and knowledge.
