...or the qintar. Edit: I'd like to answer your question, but none of these brands are/is my 'favorite'. I'm not sure I have a favorite brand. My favorite bass is my Stambaugh- does that help?
Crap... im average..:upset: Fender.. Though i Prefer CIJ to that Crap(IMO) Fender USA and Mexico put out now adays...
I don't think I have played any brand where I liked every or at least even a majority of their basses. Out of whats up there in the list I'd say: fender, ibanez [old ones] & ernie ball.
..he didn't say 'which one do you like best', he said "which is your favorite." How/why would one 'vote' for one's 'favorite'?
..maybe your favorite is(like mine)a Stambaugh. The brand of bass on the aforementioned list which I like best is Fender. Your 'favorite' & the 'one(of the basses on the list)you like best' can be two different things. I know- picky, picky, picky. But to answer your question, 1 string & $2,000.
For funk I love me Ernie Ball SR, but i equally love my frettless warwick and (not my) the fender jazz bass.
