How to pick a troll?

The internet has allowed the beauty of bass music to turn into either a herd of mindless tort obsessed gear heads filled with spite and animosity or folks whose posts I find boring.

So you don't find the heard of mindless tort obsessed gear heads filled with spite boring then?

But, what if we just have abrasive personalities, and 8th grade ejukashins... We are bass players after all...


( tbh most of my posts will have crazy word substitutions... Someone messed with my phones autocorrect one night and I still haven't figured out how to fix it entirely...even after reverting the autocorrect like 3 times. I'll recheck everything I typed in but plunked down in the middle of the post it'll say like" I was wearing a silly cat for giggles" or something...oh and some words get replaced by themselves but with a period(.) Idk. It sucks I need to get a new phone)

Most of your disclaimer is spelled correctly...:rolleyes:
 
I think overrating Fenders is overrated.
+1... I totally agree. Fender hasn't produced anything halfway decent in 15-20 years. If you like what they play/ sound like ,There is no real reason not to buy a squire. Other than the name anymore... I have a neck from a vintage vibe p/j that I bought on a record advance( that's another story altogether) that I've transplanted on 5 or 6 different basses. Plays better than any fender I've ever had. I used to think I was nuts or that it's a fluke neck till I saw one used a gc and it played the same.should have bought that one to. Fender needs to reevaluate what they are doing and who they are doing it for.NO TOURING MUSICIANS WANT TO SPEND $1700 for an almost decent road bass when squire sells essentially the same thing for. Under $400. I know there used to be a noticeable difference.before I switched from the j to the p bass I had a early 80s fender that was boobies.I bought replacement in the late 90s and it was trash.a jazz bass that sounds muddy, never stayed in tune and had MAJOR FRET PROBLEMS.Idk but it soured me on the "fender" basses. Squiers do have their problems, but don't come with a pretentious price tag, leaving plenty of pocket lining to fix them/ make them better.

Oooops I meant to say that rating Fenders was overrated. My bad.




EDIT: Should I edit that later?
