Hi,

I might buy one of these. Is the Fender Vintage Reissue '59 Bassman® LTD that they sell now made in the US? Put together in the US? Are the parts from the US?

Thanks
Simon

I could be wrong, but I think that Fender is transfering most of their circuit board amps over to Mexico, especially these lacquered tweed amps.

I find it a mute point MIA vs. MIM amps. I like the MIM amps better since most of them were revamped before they were transferred. My MIM tweed Blues Jr. sounds way better than several of the MIA BJ that I have A/B (using recordings for my assessment).
