Dave Pegg with Fairport Convention and Jethro Tull excellent player. Of course Wetton, Levin, Lee, Squire, what about John Paul Jones? He is pretty progressive, guess it depends on the definition.

Does your uncle not like you very much?

Best (non-Fender) bass I ever owned was the toilet seat bass (EBMM Bongo 4HH) and I have owned Alembic (Epic 5), Rickenbacker (2 x 4003 including a 4003S5 which I stupidly traded away in college), Warwick (thumb), Spector (NS-2A), many Fenders, Peavey Cirrus. My all time favorite bass was the...

If it is anything like my '76 (and it looks identical) weight will be something along the order of "heavy as sin". That being said the best Fender neck I have ever played is on my '76 and this one is a doggleganger of mine same maple fretboard, same inlays, etc. *Bump for an awesome Fender*

I think what this guy is asking is by buying direct from the manufacturer avoiding distribution and 3rd party handling plus supporting the music stores, IF the basses are boutique quality why isn't their business model more popular certainly you should get more bang for your buck. My answer...

I have two Basses right now, a 1976 FrankenFender Jazz Bass/P-Bass Hybrid (1976 Jazz Neck, Pre-CBS P-Bass body, Bartolini Passive P/U's...Neck Split-Coil, Bridge Jazz Style and before I get flamed for routing out a pre-CBS P-Bass it was done before me so I just made it work) that I have had...

I am involved in a writing project and having an issue settling into a pocket and grooving because we don't have a drummer and the drums are being built with a drum machine, anyone have this issue, anyone have any suggestions?

My new baby, I love it.

This is my old standby Fender Jazz/Precision Hybrid (going on 14 years with this bass) And my new addition a Carvin LB70

Just My Imagination from the Temptations is a great basic motown/Jamerson line, great groove. Others.... Standing in the Shadows of Love - Fout Tops Ball of Confusion - Temptations Shotgun - Junior Walker Dancing in the Streets - Martha and the Vandelas Tears of a Clown - Smokey...

For the money this is the bass to get IMHO. I realize the question was Jackson vs. Epi T-Bird but when confronted with two bad choices the better option is to pick option 3.

I had a Warwick Thumb, played one gig with it and brought it back to the store, great practice bass didn't punch through the PA at all. Had the same issue with a Stingray, it was a single humbucker, came back and tried a Bongo about 15 years later with 2 Humbuckers and fell in love. Also...

Might want to look at a Musicman Bongo 4HH, great bass Lots of variety on the tone, if you need it to sound like a P it can if you want it to sound like something else, it can. I have a Jazz and backed it with the Bongo love that bass.
