MGR/Stevo « Fender Frontman 25R »
Published on 11/20/07 at 15:00I have been playing the bass (Fender custom P-Bass with a Jazz neck) for about 15 years and decided to make the jump to electric guitar. I bought this amp along with a Fender MIM Strat w/ direct mount p/u I have played (the Bass) in a few bands and done some studio work.
I bought this amp from Musicians Friend for $139.99.
I bought this amp to complement a MIM limited run Strat with direct mount pickups. I wanted the genuine Fender sound without investing a lot of money. This amp is great for my purposes (learning the 6 string electric) If you're looking for something to make your neighbors ears bleed, keep looking, but if you're looking for something to jam around the house or mic through a PA at a gig (and dont havve hundreds of dollars to spend
this could be the amp for you. I have been playing around with ir for about a week and get a good variety of sounds out of it with my strat, by playing with all of the knobs and buttons. The clean channel provides a range of sounds from surf to twangy country tones, while the drive channel gives a fair variety of rock sounds from vintage rock to metal. With the built in reverb function, I don't see the need to invest in any effects in the near future.
Like I said it won't make the neighbors ears bleed, but it is loud enough to get me in trouble with the wife.
The construction is light weight and extremely portable. The Quality is as good or exceeding the price range, as far as sound goes, and it boasts a five year warranty according to the tag that came on it. i have not had the opportunity to test Fenders warranty policy ( a testament in it's own right), but a five year warranty on an amp in t his price range is impressive to me.
I recommend this amp to anyone that is a beginner, broke, or just needs a light, substantial, and portable amp for practice. It is even an acceptable giging amp if your band has a substantial PA to mic through. The fender sound at a cheap price.
