Distressed to impress

Battle-scars straight off the production line

Intense bass overdrive with killer options

Superior octave sounds for double the fun

A direct injection box with a touch of magic

No-nonsense fuzz with added tonal ability

A deluxe addition to the Vintage Active Series and it's a real peach.

Fender gives us a worthy update of the Jazz, using high-quality components and powerful active electronics.

The SG 'Reissue' is actually a brand new model, but to all intents and purposes it is the latest modification of the EB-3, albeit a stripped down version.

It's brimming with Mesa/Boogie features and looks, and it sounds the business.

Built for portability yet man enough to take the strains of gigging, this Bassman combo is squarely aimed at today's working bass player.

Having something this portable packed with so many quality sound abilities makes home rehearsal a joy.
