Your Favorite Fender Bass?

[GK Growl]

I can't vote. I like passive P/Js and I don't see any on the list. I'm waiting for Bongolation to post and tell me how bad my ears must be and how wrong I am to like them.

Big fan of all the possibilities with tone in a Deluxe Precision. My vote.

 

[MoeTown1986]

my favorites are always 80's MIJ's. they're just SWEET! and you didn't even make them a choice.

Mine would have to be the newest a av62 reissue. Just love the feel.

Then you are a huge supporter of FMIC, huh? The more they sell, the stronger the company is.

Love my California P-Special, lust over the 60th Anniversary P!

I have an MIA Deluxe Precision 5 and as it's my only Fender bass I guess that's my favourite, though far from the favourite counting my other basses. It's actually the least liked, I haven't played it for years. It looks nice hanging on the wall though.

Is this the one with the pretty chunky neck?

I LOVE the way my 60th Anniversary P looks - it's the most beautiful bass I own. But I would definitely say that unless you're accustomed to a fairly thick neck, it does feel on the chunkier side to me. I'm used to a Jazz neck, so take it with a grain of salt, but I often find myself preferring the tone and feel of my Highway One Precision over the 60th (I guess, neck, finish and bridge all play factors into that as well).

Different strokes and all.

My current favorite production model is the Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar Shortscale.

 

[Jim Carr]

Got a whole lotta love for my MIM Roadworn Jazz which has incredible vintage tone, vintage style frets and a comfortable neck profile.

+1

Not listed in the poll? hmmmm.... :scowl:

 

[Randyt]

I really dug my 62 RI P-Bass!!

 

[drummer5359]

In the poll the MIA Precision had an early lead, the MIA Jazz has caught up and passed it. (Just slightly.)

Will hell freeze over too?

As far as current Fender offerings, I like the American reissues the best.

 

[Doug Parent]

MIA = "American Standard"
MIA Deluxe = "American Deluxe"

That would make a little more clear differentiation for folks FYI.

 

[lpdeluxe]

I voted "MIM P"

but I could have voted "MIA P" as well.

Come to think of it, I could have voted "CIJ" too....

I love 'em all. Whichever one I'm playing is my "favorite."

 

[sj_bass]

Sorry... no Fender Carrots bass = no poll.

 

[lomo]

Roscoe Beck sig 4 or 5.

 

[Woodsbass]

Fender Precision Elite bass, dang smexy.

 

[P-oddz]

MIA = "American Standard"
MIA Deluxe = "American Deluxe"

That would make a little more clear differentiation for folks FYI.

If the MIA is the American Standard, then I want to change my vote!

It wasn't an option, but I was really voting for my American Vintage '62 Reissue Jazz, which I would choose over the American Standard any day of the week.
I feel cheated by the internet now.

Poll redo!
