I didn't say that. I said all amps produce more wattage with lower impedance. That is how electricity works.

I didn't say you did...? You were being serious, I was being un-serious. Thanks for the info regardless!
Yeah, but Dav, we're talking about FENDER electricity here!
Leo invented THAT, too! Seriously, since Leo got his start with amps, I think you can argue that they are more Fender-esque than guitars/basses.Yeah, but Dav, we're talking about FENDER electricity here!
So there are AC, DC, and FC?Yeah, but Dav, we're talking about FENDER electricity here!
Thanks. Learn something every day.
But i was told that tone is in your fingers
. So Finger Current seems appropriate.
But, ... , but. ..., Sharpie! ... It can be argued that Leo also invented, or at the very least revolutionized, the mass produced solid-body electric guitar and bass!
Sure, there were various electrified hollowbody guitars and the Rickebacher(sic) solid-body Hawaiian lap steel guitars, Les Paul's experimental "log" and "clunker", Tutmarc's electric (bass) "fiddle", and a few custom Bigsby solid-body electrics. But it took Leo to make the modern solid-body electric guitar, and bass guitar, industry.

Totally agree with his HUGE impact on the guitar and bass industry. My point is that even more so, he was an amp visionary, and this has been underrecognized due to the blinding success of the instrument side of things. IOW, all Fender amps (and especially Rumbles!
) ROCK! 
PS: Why are there no AMP smileys? This is unacceptable!
Since I bought my first real bass amp*, I've always preferred 7enders-for amps. But I'm a Gibson man(or Epi)when it comes to basses.Totally agree with his HUGE impact on the guitar and bass industry.

I may be the only bass player-at least in North America-to have never held, much less played, a P bass.
*one-later 2-of these
I built a Deluxe Reverb (mojotone kit) and had a great time doing it. Would love to find an amp kit for a 6G6 bassman.
I was going to say "Try a P Bass, they don't bite.", but realized, well, they do--and they don't let go.

And you said that to @GonePlaid, the Gibson Man???
You are brave...
Reason: I started with a 66ish EB-3-in 67, got used to Gibson's neck profile, and at 78 y/o, my somewhat arthritic hands don't do well with wide necks. Not even a (ugh!) J.I built a Deluxe Reverb (mojotone kit) and had a great time doing it. Would love to find an amp kit for a 6G6 bassman.

I experience 350vFC when I was working on a Tweed Champ and was having issues, I was tired and got careless and didn't discharge the electrolytics and my fingers found the current!But, FC can also stand for Finger Current
The R200 combo still louder, clearer and no distort/fart on high volume compare to R100.
