I prefer Gibson/Epiphone but I like my 2 Fenders. I'll never get rid of my P bass. My first real bass.
yeah I noticed, saw one online after posting that question.
I liked the prodigy and jp90 fenders.
A Limelight ! ... uh... no... those basses with the non-legitimate Fender logo ??? Noooo ....
I don't see any virtue or lack thereof in having or not having any particular brand of bass. It happens that I have four Gretsch basses, three Fender/Squier models, a Dean Cabbie, a Gibson EB-0, a Univox 335 copy, an Ovation-style acoustic-electric bass, and a couple of others.
I'll take any of them along to play depending on my mood. (The exception being the AE bass, as it's only suited for certain types of music.)

I'm a proud owner of a few fenders and I was never fende-free since 1978! Here's my '78 natural ash/maple fender jazz bass that I bought new back in 1978 from mannys music shop. I'll never sell this bass.
And here's my '08 am. std. jazz bass and my '00 EBMM Stingray bass:

Nice rumble rig too. 200/500 over a 115 with a rebadge?
Thanks! Yeah, it's a Rumble 500 210 combo on top of a 115 yeah. Not sure what you mean by rebadge though?
The 115 comes with a different fender logo badge, the pic looked like yours had the same badge as the combo.
I think the only way I'd buy a Fender again is if it has something really awesome going on (absolutely non-stock), like MFD pickups (G&L)
At one time I was interested in their Triple Bucker in the Dimension basses, but they seem to have disappeared

The only way I'm getting another fender is if my financial situation changed. I am holding onto my my 3 fender basses and 2 guitars, but recently shifted bass gas to low cost older USA peaveys. I have 3 of them with a total of $252 into all 3, got really lucky on one which evened out the other 2. When funds replenish, it will be another peavey, probably a foundation from the 80s. Not even a fender ripoff, the only thing jazz bass about it is the 1.5" nut and 2 single coils, but super ferrites are nothing like fender pickups. Peavey also had a patented way of assembling 2 piece necks that were entirely maple, and very stable for such a thin neck.I think the only way I'd buy a Fender again is if it has something really awesome going on (absolutely non-stock), like MFD pickups (G&L)

Fury is a p bass in spirit, but smaller sleeker body and that awesome thin neck. The USA peavey stock pickups are pretty good too. $100 is still a common price range, but many people are asking more for them now.
No I got them new from Sam Ash I believe? And I cross-checked on the Fender website and it looks like the Fender logos are the same on both.
Are we counting Fender the company or basses invented by Leo Fender?
I've got a Fender Jazzzz bass that I am trying to sell.
And a Musicman Stingray that I am not selling.
