Free Fender amp t-shirt deal!

[Brian Krashpad]

The Fender website makes it seem like you have to go to your local Fender dealer and "test-drive" a Fender amp to get a free t-shirt, but... not so!

Call musician's friend with the code they give you after watching a 3 minute video and they send you a t-shirt. Dunno if this has been posted but I haven't seen it anywhere.

I just did this and it took maybe 5 minutes. They even ship it to you free, and you can pick the size of the t-shirt. They put you on Fender's mailing list, but I was already on that anyhow.

Enjoy your free shirts, brothers and sisters!

Thanks for the heads up, Krash. :AOK:

On the one hand, I don't know if I want to become a corporate tool/walking billboard for Fender, but OTOH, I like free stuff. :D

My greedy nature won out.

Well, that was painless, and one can never have too many T-shirts. Thanks!

Since I'm the proud owner of a '66 Super Reverb and numerous Fender guitars and basses, I didn't have a prob with it. But don't forget, you can always cut off the tag and wear it inside out!

I'm already a walking tool and endorse Fender... may as well get a freeB-T.
(Experience with MF predicts it won't show up anyway!)

[sunvalleylaw]

Yeah, I was going to go get a new one next time I was at GC, but now I don't have to deal with the paperwork, and can just do my customary wankin' on their stuff next time I go in and not have to do the paperwork with them.

The guy at MF tried to talk me into a deal on a '65 Princeton (($659 down from the "normal" price of $1060, I am not sure if it is a real mark down or not), but no go for me today. Just the T-shirt thank you! :AOK:

Well MF isn't really doing the shipping, they come direct from Fender, so unless they botched typing your name/address you should be good.

I've bought a batch of things from MF with no problems, although nothing in the last several years. Never mess with stuff that's not in stock though, that's a real black hole with them.

I have one from my guitar test drive.

Maybe I will add to the collection of one.

[street music]

I have been WAITING & WAITING & WAITING- Fender told me they were out of the shirts at this time but that I should receive mine soon.

That's the back, right?

Their "make history" campaign is the one that my micro-tiny photo is in one of their print ads.

Rolling Stones on the front of this one. Stones - Shine a Light.

[just strum]

I ordered mine - 2 to 3 weeks (eyes roll)

No free amp or Strat though.

Ah, OK, that makes more sense. I didn't see anything about anything being on the back of the Soul of Tone shirts.

[sunvalleylaw]

I have that t-shirt (with the Stones) after the last time I did this program. I used to get all my t-shirts from running races when I did them. Now I get them this way!

[pes_laul]

I didn't get mine. I didn't know what to do after I called them.

Yeah, I've heard it can easily take over a month.

For what I paid, I can't complain!

;)

Seems like a decent markdown to me.

The MF guy wasn't pushy when I just called for the t-shirt. he only said that they were authorized to give me a deal. I said no thanks.

I was waiting for a sales pitch, but the guy took my info and thanked me for calling.

If he would have said "Hi, Billy Mays here for Fender...." I would have freaked, just freaked.

Sasme here. Ambivalent non-specific pitch.

I told my gal I already had a vintage '66 Super Reverb, so I was set for Fender amps.

Perfectly pleasant exchange. They're nice for Yankees.

[Perfect Stranger]

I've been waiting over 2 months for mine....nada!

[duhvoodooman]

I spoke to a very nice young lady, and mine is one the way (in however long it takes....). She asked if I had bought from MF before and I answered "several times." She said "Great!" and didn't try to sell me anything. Painless process, better than I expected....

[sunvalleylaw]

Kris, you just tell them you want to take advantage of the Fender T-shirt offer and give them the code that popped up in the vid window after you watched the vid. It is only good for two hours so you probably have to re-watch.

[Rocket]

I'd be interested if it's the same "code" for everyone.

Edit: Got my answer... I ran the video again and got a diff code.

Same deal, just a quick offer. If I was looking for a nice little tube amph, I might have looked into that deal more closely.

[street music]

I received another reply today from FENDER that they are out of the shirts and it could be 6 weeks before they can replenish their supply. Maybe they didn't expect to ship so many out.

I don't recall being asked for an email address - how are they contacting you?

[tunghaichuan]

The nice young lady I spoke with asked me if I wished to purchase any of tha amphs shown in the video. I replied that I was pretty well set as I build my own. She didn't know what to say to that :rotflmao:

I emailed them and Ed Treat replied back to me, they got my email from my card and my new guitar and amp purchases.
