JM	Re: Throw away your solder iron....CyberTwin From what I've read about Leo Fender he was a businessman who sold equipment to musicians, wanting to be successful, he decided to listen to some of these musician's needs so that he could create a more desirable product. Today Fender has found that they are more successful pushing a boat load of crap on a bunch of people who either don't yet, or never will hear the difference between the junk they are building and a real amp. Rolling in his grave? Hardly, I would say applauding and cheering them on would be more like it. JM
