Music man Stingray

[Rich Terry]

I speak with some authority on what the hipsters favor because I live in Brooklyn, the Mecca of Hipsters.

What?

This whole Indie band thing is new to me since I'm a good bit older. Don't get me wrong but is Indie more about looks or music. I just listened to some on you tube and just sounded like a bunch of high pitched kids with a lot of drums.

If you just need to look cool go with the Fender,
Both do a great job if you're playing music.

Hear hear! I'm open to new music but I can't tell what indie is SUPPOSED to be any more. It used to mean rock backed by small labels but now it seems to be "secular emo I-V-vi-IV music played by large groups of people who hit things".
I got that Milk music app and dialed in an indie station...listened in my shop via headphones for several hours. That stuff is a lot more generic and unoriginal than any of it's fans or players will ever care to admit.
Though I was kinda disappointed at this because I was looking for some new originality, I also remembered that what happens in music is often a reflection of what's happening in society. Is it possible that raising an entire generation under crushing debt in wartime with a politically correct mentality killed their tendancy to vocalize rebellion through music?

Not at all, this thread is very much about Indie music and what bass looks good with it.
