I was kidding. I'm not taking any of it seriously.
*I had a 66 Gibson EB-3. It wasn't being played. I figured it should go to a good home so I sold it. Within a month, I developed a need for a short scale for some of our gigs. The TBird is too long[the headstock woulda been in the drummer's ear]and the Ibanez wasn't right for the material being played. I s'pose I coulda used the LPB-2/5 but it's heavy. So I bought the Squier

I have downsized from Two to One now. It was a bit much for what I do now. I had 2 15's for many years and loved it. No problem with Volume!
There are different color shirts???Funny...and really odd. I remember him as a very cool dude who made really interesting music. Doesn’t seem like one to troll. Not like he’s totally wrong about fender haters here sometimes. The tort thing is beyond tiresome and way too predictable. Still, it’s a rather extreme reaction. Personally, I love Fender basses and was a P bass guy most of my life. I just happen to love T Birds a whole bunch. That’s why they make different colored shirts, I reckon

I know Mark.
Congrats! Nice bass!
Another unwitting player has fallen into the vortex of the back nest of the Thunderbirds. You can't get out, so don't try!
Ain't sayin' they're fer everyone. They give me all the tones I want with a small twist of the tone knob. Thanks again, Jeff!

Some of my favourite bass players play Ps and Js (and some play PJs). I have my one FSO (a Yamaha; those are very under-rated) but I know that Fender/Squier just isn't me. I like my Thunderbird. But I also like my JC, Midtown, and EB-3. My go to bass, when I am not sure what want to play is the JC. And the JC is the one that I get the most compliments on (`cause it ain't the playing); there aren't enough good things to say about it. Just such great low mids. But semi-hollow isn't for everyone.
My teacher plays 7ender/Squier almost exclusively. As he puts it, he is a very conservative player and those are the most conservative basses.
Don't worry, they are all just shades of black.
I think you have every color of the spectrum in your shirt in your avatar.
Nah, I have no interest in them. Raw-sounding roundwounds are my bag.
Whew!! Had me goin' there fer a minute.
Liner notes? I really like to know about the production of the album I'm listening to. Where it was recorded, who played on it, etc. You find out some really interesting things in those notes.
