Chickenbacker basses. Are they good?

The title says it all. Are they good, and are they worth the money?

Yes, chickenbackers are good, especially with biscuits, mashed potatoes and gravy. Oh, and carrots.

I like the gravy, but, honestly, I could do without the biscuit.

I only like the fair trade, cruelty free chickenbackers. The fast ones often have their wings clipped and the headstock cut off.

Doesn't the Chickenbacker always get into huge fights with the Peter bass?

That's what they cost at Target. They're a little more at Costco, but you get 20 of them in a box.
