Ford Mustang? Hahaha! Kidding right?... Fender are the basis to what other basses are... They are the midpoint. I'd say more Ford Fiesta than Ford Mustang.

Mine would be a '71 MGB convertible roadster, a true sports car.

Mostly because... hey, that's what I drive.

I like old school vibe, in cars and basses. Who needs more than
4 strings anyway?

currently playing a squier bronco, tried it to see if i was a short scale kind of guy. turns out i really am. hmmmmm.....which car...it's small, handles well, looks good, light.... i'd go for an MG Midget (perhaps a bit biased as i'm in the process of buying one!)
(this isn't the one i'm looking at but it's close enough!)

I guess my surf green Jazz Bass = '57 Chevy in Belair green. The thing is, I'm really a Ford guy...

So, my Hot Rod Red Fender Jaguar = '65 Mustang convertable.

My Peavey Foundation Fretless with natural finish = '38 Ford Woody station wagon.

Still working on what my koa Carvins would be...

Are we supossed to take the year into consideration? My 96' MIM Squier Jazz would probably be a 96 Honda Accord 4 door, not even an ex...lol. Not quite an Acura (Fender), but playing off the name sake of one country and being made in another. Honda is a Japanese company with some vehicles being made in America. Squier is an American company with some basses, atleast in that year, being made in Mexico.

Would my SX be a Hyundai? Would my MIC Squier be a Chevy Aveo?

Alright, I'm out.

My MIA? Seeing Im going for a dead, mellow sound, probably a Ford Pinto.

And my fretless? Probably a Ferrari, seeing they just dont seem to have many limits!

What is an affordable workhorse car that people also find very attractive?

I suppose that would be the automotive equivalent of my J-Bass.

I think of my Lakland's as modern music-makers.

I think a bass I'd want would be similar to a Range Rover. Great vehicle all round in any weather... I'd want a bass that would be great for anything. Ready to smash through a wall and come out the other side without a scratch.
