Stopped by the local guitar store today and tried one. Nice. I'll own one soon. Looking forward to hearing it through a 15" powered PA speaker via the XLR line out. I have had a GDEC3 for ~ 6 months and can immediately tell that the BRONCO would be a blast connected to a FUSEd laptop. Disappointed, like others, that there isn't an LCD to see what effects are engaged. Understand, however, that the sales volume on BASS amps must be much lower than guitar amps and in order to keep an attractive price point at lower volumes certain features must be compromised. I appreciate the lower price tag.

So... has anyone considered (or hopefully even developing) a simple GUI interface for an Android Smart Phone? Tablet? that could provide easier access to the effects being played than booting up a Windows laptop? In its simplest form, an "app" like this could be as simple as a display of the settings... just like the LCD on the GDEC3. It wouldn't even have to accept inputs... the user can still use the knobs on the amp to change things. Just show us what's in there.

Food for thought. Would love to hear Fender's feedback on this.

If it were an Android app it could even come preloaded on this phone :-)
