and also, I havent been the ONLY one who has been ranting. at least my rants each bring up new points each time, unlike the morality police droning on about "it's illegal! it's illegal!" come up with a new point, jeez. and i assure you, regardless of the legal ramifications of me putting a decal on a bass I OWN, if an objective outsider were to read this thread, I would not be the one who comes off as ridiculous. It would be the people who were saying "Youre immoral. Ill never deal with you" (which is ridiculous, and cant possibly offend me, considering I ALREADY SAID THAT IVE NEVER SOLD A BASS IN MY LIFE) out of nowhere who would seem as if theyve gone over the deep end. Ive stated my points very concisely and effectively for the most part, which is something a lot of you have not. I mean, we ALREADY KNOW that it's "illegal". Let me ask you guys something: Have any of you never done something that's "illegal"? I mean, get a grip, man. Live and think in the REAL WORLD, not some idealistic fairytale land where everything that's "illegal" (notice the repeated quotation marks around that word) is so so so so wrong.

Blah, blah, blah...

My simple contention the whole time is that it's trademark infringement and as such it's illegal. Ranting about it isn't going to change that.

hahahahaha. you can rest assured that im not getting ANYTHING in a bunch. i mean, its a moot point now, from my perspective. i already ordered the decal, and fully intend to put it on my squier. at NO POINT WHATSOEVER was i considering not doing this. once I got the link to the website to buy the decal (which happened within the first 5 replies), the real issue was taken care of, in my eyes. Everything that has been posted since then serves no other purpose for me other than some sick, twisted, absurd comedy. hahahahahahah. what a riot!

Sure has the tone of an angry rant to me. Whats the ole saying,"Its better to keep your mouth shut (not post) and let people think you are whacky than to open it (or post) and remove all doubt.

and now 10 pages later it's really clear why TB discussion on Fender decals was prohibited in the past. threads like this serve no purpose except to pit TBers (who would otherwise be friends) against each other

threads like this make the old "Ford or Chevy" threads on GearHead appear civil


this thread no longer delivers and the slapstick is no longer producing a laugh ...

all the best,

that post really hit a nerve with some of these people here. the truth hurts. its not like any of you stand to gain or lose a damn dime by me putting a decal on a bass, so put your cocks away dudes, youre not convincing anybody. if you wanna prove how "loyal" you are to fender, go to GC and drop a grand on a MIA jazz just for the hell of it. but let me assure you, bickering with someone cause they're putting a decal on a bass doesnt make you "loyal". it makes you an overbearingly anal and annoying weirdo. seriously, have any of you thought about how vehemently you are opposed to me doing this and how disproportionate your anger is when compared to the tone and innocent intent of the original post? personality disorders are abundant here at talkbass.

I NEVER ONCE said anything about hating Fender, or its customers. I own a MIA jazz. i love it. that post was to address the OBVIOUS macho-bravado "i dont want this guy with a squier putting a fender logo on his bass, because having a fender makes me feel SPECIAL" sentiment that a couple of the holier-than-thous seem to have. like someone else said, this is beyond stupid now. i have nothing else to say about this. i gotta go put my decal on now. pics coming soon.

If, and that's a big "if", the thread had remained on topic and if, that's a bigger "if", no personal attacks and/or judgements were made, the thread would have been finished on Page 1.

I feel kinda bad now ...

Once many years ago when I was young and foolish, at a weak moment I did change a logo.

Ya see I had this old Fender amp and just thought it would be a cool idea to change the logo ... it seemed OK at the time (and actually looked pretty cool) so I switched the stock logo to one from a Dodge Dart Swinger









My apologies to the good people at Dodge/Mopar
