Why is Fender the best?

It's not...

 

[CereBassum]

Who's the best bandmate to fire for metal...

 

[Axstar]

Fretboard oil.

 

[Kevan Campbell]

Firing the drummer or leaving the band.

One bass or many.

Stock instruments with mods or boutique instruments.

The best bass for metal.

 

[Liam Wald]

Pick guards.

 

[ProgressiveDoom]

It's not...

But how can we be sure?

 

[Gizmot]

There are lots of controversies:

Fender vs Musicman vs G&L

Fender vs Sadowsky

Fender vs Rickenbacker

Spector vs Warwick

4x 10s vs 2 x 15s

Class AB vs Class D

Neodymium vs Ferrite

15"s for deep bass, 10"s for punch. Overpower my amps to prevent square clipping. Put my favorite driver in any cab I want for maximum toanz. Drop D tuning is better than a 5 string. Exposed poles sound better than covered. Fender is underappreciated. Rick's are ergonomic. Tube watts > SS watts. That Wal can't possibly be worth more than my ***.

That hits about 2% of the last couple weeks.

Learning music theory can improve your performance vs. play what’s in your heart (I guess?). I still haven’t figured out the downside to knowing more about a subject and why someone would argue that ignorance is preferable.

I havent been around here for a long time but the subject of wellmade budget bass X being as good/almost as good as bass model X of higher price tag (especially if its USA made) is interesting..

 

[Deleted member 165050]

Fretless lined or unlined?

 

[scubaduba]

None of the above. Most devisive is does tone woods make a difference.

 

[Whil57]

For you "fact" people. Maybe the "most divisive topic" ? Lets see if this thread goes 30 pages.
Or maybe "facts" themselves.
Facts versus carrots?
Marsha, Marsha, Marsha! (i never got it, think my first crush was Jaclyn Smith)

 

[Spidey2112]

Anything about Gibson.

But shoot... we fight about anything, everything, even nothing sometimes in here.

And Mary Ann was okay, but I only have eyes for Jeannie.

We must be sharing pupils, then...

 

[gidbass]

Anything about Rickenbacker...(wasn't an option so no vote from me)...

Good Luck!

 

[Spidey2112]

Ginger vs Mary Ann

BTW, it's Mary Ann. No contest.

I will follow you to the ends of the Earth...

... unless @EdwardofHuncote is going to Basenji...

... then I will follow him.

This is in bass humor because I want to keep it lighthearted and fun. I have noticed, this morning alone, multiple posts about hot button issues that inevitably open a huge can of worms with riots in the streets, burning buildings, and the collapse of society as we know it ensuing. Example, the classic fender vs musicman: civil war or the INFAMOUS best bass for metal,punk, or postmodern classical progressive jazz gaelic fusion with Uncle Dave on the uilleann pipes. The new one unknown to me was pike electronics vs Darkglass. We've all seen THAT GUY post some rant about how the fender elite, or stingray, or ric, or [insert your favorite brand here] he bought was an overpriced POS. Then Fenderboy1986 or MMRay511 comes swinging in from the moral high ground with his lasso of superiority (apologies if that is actually someones TB tag no offense intended) and begins WWIII. So why is it that we cant just get along? Poll for kicks. Also carrots.

You forgot mixing cabs?

 

[jmattbassplaya]

Tort vs. whatever.

I vote paisley.

 

[Dogbertday]

Def the intellectual stuff. Theory vs. Not. Sightreading vs. Not. Etc. Etc. Etc.
