Shame cos it was a nicely produced mag.. Had a quality feel to it, glossy with excellent photography.. The reviews could have been better, and was a bit repetitive in the editorial, but it inspired to look elsewhere for more detail.

Is that not just the paint finish design to allude to 'reliccyness' ... ?

So things haven't improved since I gave up with it then....

Just been back on Fender site and the Performer series is back listed again. So must have been just a website error...

I see what you did there...!!☺️

Mmm. So Fender won't show 'em to you on the site but you can order one..... And then Snorkie gets an email showing 'em as still being buyable...! Would any one else deduce they are in fact discontinued... Fender floggin' off remaining stock?... Cos there is a new one due...??

Paul Thompson...?

Roxy... Fabulous.....!! Saw 'em with Eno not long before he left. I was just a teenager... And... WOW....! He released 'Here come the warm Jets'.. His first release after leaving, and it blew me.... Not heard anything like it, as revolutionary to me as 'Iggy' was.... Not Roxy I know but I'd put the Ferry version of 'Hard rains a gonna fall' in my all time top 10.....

Have Fender discontinued it..? Seems to have disappeared from site...

Astonishingly good..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHy1iKBtTq4

What an excellent photograph.... Those strings... You can almost hear that 'B' from here...!

Who is that then...? Sounds very interesting...

Apologies. I have no idea who he is.....

Thanks.

Now 'Gear4music' aren't they...?

I've used both 'GAK' and 'BAX' for all sorts of stuff. I don't feel confident to try and use them again... If they return to trading...

Update on my situation is: I did get a refund of my subs for Feb & Mar..... Dan did say he'd send those two missing issues (as a good will gesture I feel) BUT... Only issue 13 arrived a few days ago. No sign of issue 12... or the strings I spoke to him about....! I have since cancelled my subscription... Which is a shame 'cos I liked the mag, but couldn't carry on with what seems to be a shambles...! And it would appear I'm not the only one who has had similar problems...

SO..... I have had a reply from Dan.... He has refunded my last two subs for Feb and Mar... And says has had distribution 'niggles'.... Also is gonna send those two missing issues, somehow I don't think I'll get them... I have also sadly cancelled my ongoing subs as I am fed up with the whole thing and I don't think his problems are gonna get fixed anytime soon... I also suspect (as a result of the situation) he has lost advertisers, which must be a big blow... Which is a shame 'cos I like the mag and Dan does seem a really nice guy... But....! Has anyone else ever received issues 12 &13...? Regards.

Did you like what you were hearing? Was what you were hearing good? Was what you were hearing well executed? If yes, yes and yes then it doesn't matter..! Some of the best bands on the planet don't do it all 'live on stage'... But it's still them....!!

Worrying times. There seems to be talk of a management buyout with 2 directors Max McKellan and Ian Stephens seeking help with funding from a Private Equity fund. Sometimes though these deals don't happen in time..... And firms go under...

Issue 11 was the last one I received. Issue 14 will be due soon. I have contacted Dan (again) to ask what's happening...? Will report back...!!

These are limited editions right..? Andertons have an 'Ocean Turquoise' P bass listed on their site... which I guess is from the same range, but no mention of it anywhere on the Fender site...? Anyone know 'owt about that...
