Again, Fender being overrated BS

#121
I just finished piecing together this abomination. I can only fit a business card in the lower neck gap, but that's enough to make me pee on it and throw it down the stairs.

THAT's a thing of beauty!!!

I used to have a '78 Precision... if you peed on it and threw it down a flight of stairs, it would sound just as good (if not better) when you picked it up off the ground, wiped it off, and plugged it in. It was a tank.

Oh... but, I took my lunch box out of the gap in the neck pocket BEFORE peeing on it and hucking it down a few flights...

I have yet to find a Fender 5'r that I like aside from the Japan Marcus Millers. It's just plain hard to make a great 5 string neck. As for Fender 4 strings, Me Love dem. I switch between my Ric and Fender P-Bass for gigs. Either one is perfect for our entire Show.

I can understand feeling that way but I've never had an issue with any hi end bass five string neck or even every Warmoth V string bass I ever built. It's not hard, it just has to be done right.

well one should always play and select their bass regardless of brand or price and hopefully you'll find a decent bass. whats the point of this thread?? BTW i have a mimjb and a miadjb... and i love them like they were my kids

The point of this thread is to bitch about Fender basses and their sucky quality, big neck gaps and lousy and excessive maple use.

But we don't hate, we're just messing with the OP...

Picking a bass is a matter of preference, comfort and how much space you need in the lower neck gap for your stuff.

Two Cents-INCOMING!

I own IBBY SG 1000 and a BTB 505-Great basses! Easy to work on and adjust. Filed and polished frets and plays like a dream. Many people like this under-rated brand, I sure think it is a lot of bass for the money
