What's your favorite brand?

Ernie Ball Music Man by a mile. They're very distinctive tonally, and only slightly less so in terms of appearance and feel, so it's not really surprising that most of us who love them for their purposes really couldn't imagine trying to use something else. I know it's blasphemy, but I really haven't cared for any of the pre-EB Music Man instruments I've played. They're just Fenders with better(?) electronics.
