Hi All -

I am looking at buying a Supersonic Twin Combo from a seller that purchased it new in August 2012.

I have been reading all the issues that plagued the 22 series, 60 series, and now the Twin 100 watt heads. Latest Twin head complaints were a known bias issue and reverb in March 2012 .

Have these issues now been addressed by Fender in the Twin Combo?

The quality issues of these series has me pretty worried. The amp works perfectly now but will it stay that way? ( I have had other Fender amps work for decades with no issues).

Are the bugs still there or are they now addressed? Has anyone owned the Twin Combo since the beginning and had no issues?

My understanding is that the warrany is transferable, is that correct? The entire warranty?

Thanks for your help.

Loyal 4 Decade Fender Customer.

Only the balance of the warranty (that remaining since the amp's initial purchase date) is transferrable. And that's conditional upon the new owner having the original bill-of-sale in his possession at the time he requests warranty service. The BOS must be presented.

Great. He has the original bill of sale. That's one issue addressed. Thank you.

Well......

I bought the amp. Just too good of a deal to pass up. Seller bought it and it just sat in his living room unplayed. It sounds amaaaaaaazing!!

No hiss, reverb is perfect. Fingers crossed.

Know any kindly witch doctors or voodoo priestesses who could toss some magic dust over it and say a blessing or two......?

If it eases your mind a little I own a 22, two 60's a black and a blonde, and a blonde 100 and they all work fine. Granted I had to return a few 100's for issues I'm not sure were Fender's or Musicians Friend but it's all good now. Another thing to consider is most times users only post negative issues they're having with a particular model as opposed to those who have the same model working perfectly with no need to post! I love my Super Sonics!

" Are the bugs still there or are they now addressed? "

Prolly one of the biggest reasons there are such good Boards, like this one.

I mean, what did ppl do in the days of blackface Fender amps and no Internet? Plug-&-Play.


:D
