I love all of this but Fender is no longer manufacturing the Bronco amp frown
It's a sturdy, powerful unit with clean sound and I'd like to buy a 2nd new one if I could.


Steve, I found one. You have the information in a PM I just sent you.

Note I tried to post it here but it really messed up the thread's format.

Thanks Mario,
When I say "new" I really mean new. I've never purchased anything from ebay and when they say "never used" (or similar) I take that with a large grain of salt and wonder what recourse I would have if it showed up as a pile of broken parts or failed in a week. This is why I like GuitarCenter.

This would be a back-up amp and so is not a high priority at all. But there are may features I really like about the bronco; one is it's steel mesh grille. Many manufacturers (including Fender) have gone to the flimsy cloth grille that a well motivated house fly could penetrate, not to mention a wayward foot. What were those engineers thinking?? To save $10.00 per unit? Pass that on to the customer, I'll pay a bit more for enhanced robustness.

I understand that Peavy has a 100W amp and Markbass a 60W unit both ranked well and with steel grilles.

But I do appreciate your effort buddy.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
