Not really a product, but still a suggestion.

Would be nice to be able to just cut and paste guitar pictures onto a post instead of uploading to Photobucket then the URL to the post.

Stop modifying and "customizing" reliable time proven circuits, use better components in your amps, and make reliable new products. People are willing to pay a premium for a good product, but don't gouge pricing like you did with the EC Tweeds. Make new innovative guitar amps, just don't attach the name with the true "Classic Fender Sound" because they're not. Other companies can do it, you can too. Your guitars are amazing though and keep making an American Made affordable line of electrics. Don't worry about the acoustic line, there are so many better acoustics out there for the money. Sorry, just giving an honest opinion.

^ Good point. I've been running the Bassman Pro series of heads. (100T and Super) My 100T has been experiencing trouble with the bias board and the auto-bias sensor. I know there are many people out there who like new technology and high tech features, and that's cool.

However, as a working musician I just want Fender gear that plays like Fender gear and is reliable like Fender gear used to be.

So, again. Please expand the American Vintage Bass line to include an early 50's Single Coil and maybe a humbucker equipped Tele Bass II for us guys who still want Fenders that sound and play like a Fender should. Also, please trim back the "cutting edge" technology on the pro series amps. I don't need an amp that tries to think for me. I need an amp I can count on. Like I could count on my old 1974 Bassman 100. Both of these new heads sound out of this world, but I shouldn't have to worry about whether the auto-bias sensor is going to power down my rig for no good reason in the middle of a show.

Thanks.

I'd love 22 (or 21) fret options for other basses besides, too. Hell, maybe another version of the 24 fret Jazz might be cool. I just like at least having that high "E" note available. Sometimes, I use it for certain things.
