Fender or not???

[Stride000]

Hey there,

After reading some articles about different type of basses, I was wondering what most people would choose if availability and money was no object.

So, would you go for a real deal P or J MIA Fender or with a P or J type Sadowsky or P or J type Lakland???

If money were no object I wound probably go for a Sodowsky. But since it is an object for me, I can't even touch a Sodowsky so all I can do is dream.

Knowing what I know now, I'd probably go with a Sadowsky...

that being said: I'm not really into active basses, I just feel like... Idk, this site is some great subliminal advertising.

On the other hand, fender is fender; it's an institution and I feel like everyone ends up there sooner or later (unless they have legitimate issues with them). I have 2 good ones--an american and a mexican--maybe I lucked out, but I love them.

if money was no object I'd get (1) 1962 Fender Jazz and (1) 1962 Fender Jazz Fretless

fender all the way. passive all the way.

I wish everyone would stop buying Fenders. That would make mine more valuable more quickly because of reduced supply on the used market I am suprised that so many people need hand holding and approval to pick a bass guitar. Some things you need to figure out for yourself! BTW, I would and did go for a Fender; and for me price is no object within reason. I certainly could have several kit basses if I wanted them

i'd go for a Custom Shop Fender Jazz or a Sadowsky Jazz.

Custom Shop Fender, no doubt, i would even have made em do the old 70's logo....

Hey there,
I was wondering what most people would choose if availability and money was no object.

I chose Sadowsky even though availabilty and money was a huge object. I'm not rich. I work HARD for my money.

I have never regretted it.

The only fender I want is on my truck!



Seriously, my choice would be a Sadowsky.

I would get a fretted KSD, since I already have my fretless

I would get an all original 60's Jazz, with much of the sunburst finish worn away through years of use. That's some sexy bass right there. Then I'd get a P-bass with the same finish, and top it off with a Sadowsky in some other colour as my 'working' bass. When the opportunity presented itself, I'd sell the two 60s basses and put my kids through university and I'd still have a Sadowsky to gig with. Result!

Love my Fenders! MIA J Deluxe IV and V (gotta be parallel there with the Roman numerals! <g>) and a Highway 1 P - love 'em love 'em love 'em!

If money were no object, I'd love to have a pre-CBS vintage J or P - can't make up mind.

 

[Fretless5verfan]

If money was no object i'd get both and pick the one i liked better .....which would most likely be the Sadowsky

5-string, 35" scale Rickenbacker 4004 with active electronics that are switchable to passive mode.

If that was impossible (which it is, Ric seems to have a problem making things with more than 20 frets) I'd settle for a Bongo with a single coil and humbucker.

Custom Shop Fenders over vintage Fenders for sure.



I wish money was no object. Oh I wish....

 

[SuperDuck]

I would buy either a USA Lakland or a Mike Lull.
