Hi!
I am in the UK and I have recently purchased a Bandmaster VM Head. It says 2008 on the valve label inside the cabinet and it came as unused from a seller in Bulgaria in the original box with all accessories in unopened packages and is absolutely like new.

I have read in various places that the early production ones had a problem with an uninsulated jumper shorting to a track on a PCB and there was a Service Bulletin issued. It is working fine at the moment, but I want to pre-empt any possible issues, so does anyone have any information on this Service Bulletin?

The amp is obviously well out of warranty, but as a retired photocopier tech, I am able to follow wiring and circuit diagrams and know how to use a soldering iron!

Many thanks,

Steve.

I have the schematic and circuit board picture. No service bulletin.
You could write to Fender consumer service, they alway answer to you. ( scroll back to Support)

Somebody talk about that service bulletin but no link :(

If you are a tech, why don't you open the amp and see where is this jumper. It might be easy to see wich one could have a issue and replace it .

Or wait for more information.
