That's right, I'm going to make a knock off fender and there's nothing you can do to stop me.

Just purchased a bass with a blank headstock and then i bought a fender decal and neck plate.

I more like the idea that if any one steals it thinking they'll get some money off of selling it will be greatly disappointed.

That and I can't afford what I want, but I can afford something that looks like what I want

Do you equally like the idea that the person who buys the stolen bass will be getting ripped off? Someone will end up buying it thinking it's a Fender.

Not everyone out there buying a bass sits on TalkBass all day.
 
I just bought a new bass off rondomusic.com and I had the idea of cloning it just cause I'm cheap.

Now that I've had hands on it over the past week and had a chance to play it next to the real thing (did a side by side when i took it to guutar center for set up) I've totally steered away from the idea. Not to put fender down or anything, but I actually prefer my no name bass to the fender equivalent.

And yes, I posted the cloning adea to see some reactions. Cause I'm an @$$ and figured it would be worth a few chuckles. But then again, that's just stating the obvious. Cause, well, its was meant to be obvious.
