To Me, Fender Is.......
- Thread starter faulknersj
- Start date
It's pretty wide for a five string. I just looked at mine and visually compared it with a 4 string Fender. I'd say not quite 19, but pretty close.
Note the "space" between Fender&Bassist, You sir look nothing like my initial comment
Lol you're right. Still, it was the first time in a while I got to use that line
Your defense was both valiant and entertaining. Thanks for making the thread fun!!
Just learned this for my current band...what a great deal of fun(K)! Our sax player is doing his best, but he (and his instrument) are NO Fred Wesley!
The root of a lot of stress...... Definitely!!! Especially in your case!!! But, when it's all said & done, I bet my left nut that there's no regrets on you about owning what you own. I know damn good & well that I'd go thru hell n' high water to get what you stumbled across. That story STILL amazes me to this very day. Unreal.......
...but clearly the kind of bass that others are after - Sadowsky, Lull, A.C., Lakland, Dingwall, Kallas, M, and many more..."As a learning tool"
Yes...
To Me, Fender is...
...A learning tool that taught other luthiers how to build a bass!

once you have the income and are willing to buy a Sadowsky you have done a big enough part of your learning and your are ready to move to something else.
Many people got a Fender as their first instrument, so they learn basic thing, past a certain level they seek out what won't hold them to attaint the next level
Many people also have a Fender learn to mod to suit their need ... and mod so much that only the body or the neck is still a Fender.

So, if I stay with a Fender, it will 'hold me back from attaining the next level,' is that what you are saying? You're serious? Ever heard of a guy named Jaco Pastorius?
Lol. Just lol.
I hear ya' Clef...
Although a Sadowsky is basically a Custom Shop Fender. I mean, c'mon. Right?
And seriously...if you haven't already done so, go and play some 2012 MIA Standard P's and J's.
Clef...go and do that.
Promise.
So, the Fender policeman did his job.
I'm sorry, did it go over your head?
Sheesh. You can't take a little ribbing?
Wanna buy my Fender Jazz?

i think that OneShot is the guy that found/bought a vintage Fender Jazz Bass for under $200 (in mint condition)!!! i also believe it was said to be his first bass!!!
someone else will fill in the details, of course.
To me Fender is the Stradivarius of our time among a lot of other things.
Oh and Turock.
Did you by a chance notice how there was no disagreements and no arguing in this thread before you started posting?
Also I was wondering if you had put any thought into how this reflects on you as a board member and as well just for kicks is it possible for you to answer this in at least a two paragraph 100 or more character format?
Thanks in advance.
