I am 100% all Fender now

I think if I didn't have an '87 Peavey Patriot with the super ferrite pickup then I would be 100% Fender as well. If I were to only have 2 basses in my collection. I like variety with by basses to suit my mood. Most of my basses are Fender though.
 
Well, Fender makes a great product, and no wonder many guys adopt them as "their brand."

There is something to be said about variety and choices. Certainly, a Stingray has a unique voice, and some of us want variety. That would be me... My go-to is generally a Pbass for many things, but I love picking what suits me.

To each his own, and I get the attraction to the Fender sound. If you have a collection of basses, adding some variety might be beneficial in giving you some new inspiration. The sound of the instrument often informs you about what to play.

Highway 1 P, American Standard Jazz, and "Magnificent Seven" PJ. She's my favorite.
