Passport:
The new PRO and EXECUTIVE models are the latest step in the ongoing evolution of Passport into the very finest in portable PA solutions. The new lineup keeps the best of previous Passport generations and adds new features and improved functionality that make them ideal for myriad applications, from education, sporting and worship events to meetings, seminars and presentations to gigs at parties, small clubs and coffee houses.
The Passport 500 PRO, 300 PRO and 150 PRO systems build on the strengths of their predecessors— each one is lighter; each one boasts updated, more natural-sounding reverb; each has an improved mixer and control layout with a clean new look and recessed LEDs; each speaker enclosure has standard 35mm stand sockets and each system is actually more affordable than its earlier version. The 300 and 500 models boast a sub-out line, and the 500 model includes USB playback and record features.
The Passport EXECUTIVE is an ideal sound system for the mobile presenter on the go; perfect for meetings, seminars, tours and presentations. About the size of a small briefcase, it’s easy to use, easy to move and easy to set up, all of which make it a compact and efficient solution to many different small- group audio support needs. It delivers 100 watts of clear stereo sound through state-of-the-art NXT flat- panel speaker technology, all in a slim, lightweight design that slips easily into its included laptop-style form-fitted travel bag.
Jim Root Strata:
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (Jan. 14, 2010) – Fender continues its successful partnership with Slipknot/Stone Sour guitarist Jim Root with the introduction of the Jim Root Stratocaster guitar.
Every bit as cutting edge as the oft-bemasked guitarist himself, the Jim Root Stratocaster is a formidable instrument and an unusual take on the Stratocaster, with a mahogany body, compound radius neck with jumbo frets and no fingerboard position dots, active EMG® pickups, black hardware and satin lacquer finish in flat black and flat white. Minimalist utilitarian looks; utterly molten tone.
The Jim Root Stratocaster joins Root’s previous signature model, the Jim Root Telecaster, introduced in summer 2007.
Special Series Guitars:
The three instruments in the new series—the American Special Telecaster, American Special Stratocaster and American Special Stratocaster HSS—are highly-affordable U.S.-made Fender electric guitars that are within the reach of an entire spectrum of players. As such, they share many features with their cousins in the acclaimed Highway One™ and American Standard series.
All three American Special guitars feature alder bodies with gloss urethane finishes, 9.5”-radius maple necks with jumbo frets, and Fender’s best-selling Texas Special™ pickups (the Stratocaster HSS also has an Atomic™ humbucking bridge pickup).
The American Special Telecaster has a vintage-style string-through-body Telecaster bridge with three brass saddles, a black pickguard, and is available in Olympic White and Three-color Sunburst. American Special Stratocaster has a vintage-style synchronized tremolo and white pickguard, and is available in Candy Apple Red and Two-color Sunburst. The American Special Stratocaster HSS has a rosewood fingerboard, black pickguard and vintage-style synchronized tremolo, and is available in Black and Three-color Sunburst.
“These new instruments are a result of listening to direct player feedback and acting on it,” said Justin Norvell, marketing director for Fender electric guitars. ”The challenge was to maximize the value without compromising at all – in fact, in many ways, we upgraded the feature sets. Fender has long been considered the ‘workingman’s guitar’ by the player community – and these guitars have been brought to life in that spirit.”
G-Dec 3 Amps:
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (Jan. 14, 2010) – Fender introduces the next step in the ongoing evolution of its acclaimed and highly successful G-DEC (Guitar Digital Entertainment Center) amp series, the G-DEC 3. Available in 30-watt and 15-watt versions, the G-DEC 3 series takes an exciting leap forward in technology and content in that the world’s top artists and session aces created many of its 100 presets and audio performance loops—delivering genre-accurate, non-generic audio.
Further, both amps can be connected to your computer by USB to engage the exclusive Fender® FUSE™ software interface, which lets you customize your G-DEC 3. Fender® FUSE™ is the key to creating, connecting and configuring with your G-DEC 3 by downloading and uploading backing tracks; editing, storing and deep-editing the performance parameters of both amps, and swapping files with other members of the worldwide Fender® FUSE™ community.
Included in the 30-watt G-DEC 3 Thirty and 15-watt G-DEC 3 Fifteen are presets and performance loops by a diverse wealth of rock, blues, metal and country artists including Eric Johnson, Charlie Benante and Frank Bello of Anthrax, Def Leppard’s Phil Collen, Fall Out Boy’s Joe Trohman, Brad Paisley, Dweezil Zappa, Jim “Rev. Horton Heat” Heath, Keith Urban, Hatebreed, Nils Lofgren, Gary Hoey, Crooked X, bassist Tony Franklin, Strung Out and many others.
These great names, however, aren’t the only reason that both new G-DEC 3 amps are amazing for rehearsing and recording. With so many loops available in so many styles, and much like many media players, G-DEC 3 amps can be customized to be all-metal, all-blues, all-country, etc.—whatever you want. Both offer digital amp and effects models that let you create your own arsenal of guitar tones suited to every style of playing, onboard mp3 and wav file storage and playback, and a multi-function SD card slot for unlimited storage of presets and audio content. Presets and onboard backing tracks can easily be mixed and matched for exciting solo jam sessions in many musical styles.
“This is really a unique project,” said Shane Nicholas, senior marketing manager for Fender guitar amps. “Because we have metal guys like Anthrax playing the metal rhythm section stuff; we have blues guys doing the blues backing tracks and the blues presets; country guys and actual R&B legends doing tracks. So it has a very authentic feel and sound, unlike things that are done strictly in the lab under a microscope. Add in the incredible potential of Fender FUSE, and you have what we believe is the finest practice amp in the world, connected to the world.
” The new G-DEC 3 amplifiers will be in stores worldwide in April 2010.

Akustiska gitarrer
To commemorate the 45th anniversary of the release of genre-defining 1962 album Surfer’s Choice by the “King of Surf Guitar” himself, Dick Dale, Fender Acoustics presents the Dick Dale Limited Edition Malibu™ CE. Features include 3”-deep body bearing Surfer’s Choice album artwork and photos of the man himself in action, laminated spruce top, mahogany back and sides, reverse headstock, onboard preamp with built-in tuner, and gloss finish. Also new is the Dick Dale Signature Malibu™ SCE, gloss- finished in beautiful “Surfin’ Red” and boasting a solid spruce top, solid mahogany back and sides, reverse headstock, dual matching pickguards, 3” body depth and Fishman® pickup system with built-in tuner.
Dale’s son, Jimmy—no slouch on six strings in his own right—also has a new signature acoustic model, the Jimmy Dale Signature Kingman™ SCE. The younger Dale helped design his own take on the Kingman model, with features including a 3”-deep all solid-mahogany body, dual pickguards, Fishman® preamp with built-in tuner, and natural satin finish.
Fender Acoustics pays homage to the groovy exotic-wood guitars of the ’60s with the new Sonoran™ ’67 Limited. The laminated milkwood back and sides impart a classic exotic look; the scalloped X bracing and solid rosewood bridge plate deliver bright sound and good projection. Modern touches include a soft “C”-shaped neck and onboard preamp with built-in tuner.
Akustisk Telecaster:
The Acoustasonic Tele is like no other Telecaster model in Fender history in that it was designed specifically to produce lush, full and authentic acoustic guitar sounds. Listeners may do a double-take when they see and hear it—far from the model’s traditional twang and bright, biting electric tone, the Acoustasonic Tele produces sounds with all the resonance and complexity of a full-bodied acoustic guitar.
This unusual sonic feat is accomplished using the digital audio wizardry of the Fishman® Aura™ system, a groundbreaking musical technology that allows several uncannily genuine acoustic guitar tones to emanate from the iconic form of a Telecaster. The Acoustasonic Tele’s unusual rosewood bridge, chambered body and Twisted Tele neck pickup conspire to produce a truly unique new take on Fender’s original and ever-versatile guitar.
Bas Combo:
Fender’s Rumble series bass combo amps take a giant step forward with a redesigned series of five amps that significantly raise the line’s power and profile. Once offered in a range from 15 to 100 watts, the Rumble series now takes bassists from 15 to 350 watts of exemplary Fender bass tone and power.
Now available in 15, 30, 75, 150 and 350-watt configurations all boasting rugged Fender Special Design Speakers and easy portability, the Rumble series now presents the best sound, look, performance and value the series has ever offered. All models (except the Rumble 15) feature adjust-to-taste overdrive that can be blended with pure, clean bass tone for first-rate bass sound. The 1×10” Rumble 30 and 1×12” Rumble 75 models offer convenient tilt-back design for improved monitoring. The Rumble 75, 1×15” Rumble 150 and 2×10” Rumble 350 all boast special EQ features; the latter two also feature XLR outputs, high-frequency piezo horns with on/off switches, and ported enclosures.
The new Rumble series is smartly designed to cover today’s bass player with outstanding design and the features they really need and use in the real world, whether it’s for playing quietly at home or serious stage/studio work with serious power and performance requirements.
”Rumble is one of the best selling bass amp families in the world, said Jay Piccirillo, senior marketing manager Fender Bass Products. “This complete reinvention of the line is better looking, better sounding, more powerful, has more features and is lower priced.”
Great bass sound started with Fender back in the early 1950s, founding a tradition of sonic excellence that continues today with the all-new Rumble series. For more information, visit www.fender.com.
