Does anyone here...

[SanDiegoHarry]

I have owned many fenders, and will likely own a few more before I cash my check...

But I currently have 4 basses with none of them being fender...

 

[P Model]

6 basses. No fender. Never plan on getting one.

 

[Curtybob]

Nope. Fight tha powah!

I dislike their lack of innovation. I see some cool things in pictures from NAMM and such, but nothing in stores besides 497,000 parts substitutions, color choices, and fancy names on the same 2 basses.

"But why mess with perfection?"

Bah.

I own 5 bass guitars and not one is a Fender or a J or P copy.

 

[StarscreamG1]

I own 4 Peaveys, 1 Memphis lawsuit Pbass, 1 Yammy RBX200, 1 Rickenbacker 4003, and....a Fender... >_> '95 MIM P-special (p/j hybrid). Funny, 2 years ago if someone would have told me Id own a Fender Id have said they were nuts... that 'Cowpoke' is my first Fender. So sadly I cant say I have multiple basses and no Fender in the stable. I fully appreciate and understand that people dont like them, I used to be in the crowd myself. But what can I say. This p/j flippin rawks. I dont keep it /because/ its a Fender. I keep it because its frankly one hell of a bass and one of the best basses Ive ever owned and own!!!

 

[NoobOnRoad]

I don't own a Fender because of the beefy necks.

3 basses no Fender neither Fender styled bass.

 

[Greevus]

I have 18 basses, and one Squier P. However, I do have 3 Ibanez Blazers, 1 Roadstar II, 1 Schecter P, and one Modulus Bassstar P. So, count me out. Sorry. Are you crazy??? Get you a Fender style bass man!

I dislike beefy necks totally. My Fender does not have a beefy neck whatsoever. Its very sweet and fast. My 4003 doesnt have a beefy neck either for that matter. Its one of the real thin necked Rics which is good. LOL I really do not like thick necks.

For me, Fender(and copies I played) are beefy. Epiphone and Yamaha's RBX's, now, that's thin!

 

[StarscreamG1]

Yea my Memphis copy doesnt exactly have a thin neck. My Cowpoke does have a great neck though, its sweet. My RBX200 has a nice neck but nothing beats a Peavey Dyna bass when it comes to the neck.

 

[NoobOnRoad]

There is always thinner! But I think that Hagstroms are on pole position on this, I've heard they were very very very very thin!

IMO, a bad neck for me can be the best for you. That's why I love subjectivity!

I once tried a violin(the wood instrument not a violin bass) now THATS THIN!!

 

[NKUSigEp]

Yup. Both Spectors.

And TECHNICALLY, Music Man and G&L basses ARE Fender basses!!!! LOL

 

[bassman03]

No Fender here. There great instruments, but I can't justify the crazy costs for one of them.

 

[TheVoiceless]

I own Alembic, Ibanez, and Music Man. No Fender. Not my bag baby!!! I first played Ibanez like most beginners from the 90's. Then when I was ready to upgrade I knew that I did not want a Fender. Mainly because I wanted to be different. But then I found my tone in a Music Man SR4. Now I play an Alembic in drop C. Very different tone then the Music Man SR4 in drop D.

 

[MNAirHead]

.... nice neck but nothing beats a Peavey Dyna bass when it comes to the neck.

Bquad

 

[Nightlyraider]

I have a Gibson SG Supreme; and a LowEnd Jazz. Which isn't a Fender, so I qualify?

Nothing will be said about the Stratocaster's however...

 

[Ski Ball]

2 ibanez, i ric, 1 dean. no fender here.

 

[Alvaro Martín Gómez A.]

This is my current stable. I've never owned a Fender/Fender style bass.
