Ok Mighty Warrior which will you choose?

................what the H kind of comparison is this? vintage fender verses an alembic??? Could you have chosen more polar opposites?

would you like a 59 Cadillac or a custom made bugatti veyron?

A bugatti is already custom made so would that be a double custom?
 
The wizard eyes you angrily. "I see you failed your intelligence roll young warrior". "The magical bass IS the key to winning the princess's heart". He explains that you are to take your pick and head forth over the mountain to the tavern in the nearby village. There you will find the rest of the members of your band and begin to practice your serenade for the princess.

Usually princesses are easier to reach using the fingers, though a few may prefer the sharp edge of the pick. C'est l'amore...
 
The Fender P-bass is my favorite bass of all time. I love the neck, the punch, the feel, the grind...

...but, even *I* have to admit-- if you've played one, you've played 'em all.

Therefore, I'd take the Alembic. Especially if it was an Orion, and the wizard was able to predict exactly how I'd like it.
 
I'm feeling geeky today so for fun.......

Congratulations you have defeated the dragon! You make your way to the Wizard's cave and he lays out before you your prize! He tells you that you may choose only one. On the altar before you in a bright glowing light lies a true 1950's model Fender P all original and next to it a high dollar custom series II Alembic. Before you choose he explains that once chosen it becomes bound to you and you can never sell it only play it for the rest of your days. Choose wisely chosen one for your new quest awaits!:hiding:

What size neck is the Fender? If it's an A then the choice is harder to make for me. I really am not crazy about anything Fender and I do own an Alembic Triple Omega. I would probably choose the Alembic anyway.

Provisionally, the Fender; that's assuming I can try it first.

Contrary to the seemingly prevalent ignorance, Fender made some real dogs in ALL years.
