Fender Precision Mexican against Gibson SG re-issue

Sign in to disble this ad
I have been given a mexican made Fender Precision, about 5 years old and I am surprised how much louder it is than my 2009 Gibson SG bass .
It had a Fender sticker on the pick guard that said upgraded pickups so that may be why, I thought the Gibson would be louder ??

Hmm, well the two basses have different types of pickups in them. Are all other things equal? Strings, string height, scale length?

I don't understand why this is surprising.

I don't think the sticker makes the bass any louder

but those awesome flame stickers people put on their cars. they don't realize that those stickers add 5 horsepower per sticker... so I think the sticker does make it louder

I bet the Gibson also sounds like a wall of mud compared to the Precision.
