  2. [quote name='silddx' post='1238785' date='May 20 2011, 10:20 PM']I'm sorry mate, but I wholeheartedly disagree. Anyone who says Fenders sound great just as they probably have been bloody lucky. Fenders are more diverse in their characters than dogs. Some, including recent ones can be downright sh*te. Some of the rubbish I've played in Vintage and Rare beggars belief. The beauty of a Fender is that when you get a good one they can be so lovely and organic. I'll never buy one again.[/quote]

    I respect your point of view completely silddx :) but your not wholeheartedly disagreeing with me here!!
    you've decided you don't like them, given your reasons and said you will not buy another one .. my point exactly!
    .. why buy something you don't like or doesn't sound right to you .. then try change it?, try been the operative word!

    I agree Fenders are diverse in sound .. which is no bad thing, find one you like.
    I understand there are lots of people out there blind with fashion who want a old Fender because it's cool, and it maybe more important that there friends say WOW you gotta 69 Fender!(which is fine by the way if thats what you want) but deep down they don't like what they sound like, so they try to change it! .. the truth is you cannot change what is sonically inherent in an instrument however hard you try! people just think you can! and continue to mod and eq .. etc, only to ever achieve a masking of what is fundamentally there and always will be. So my point is .. if your not happy with the sonic property of a Bass acoustically then preamps won't do it for you! ask any luthier worth his salt (Mike Tobias springs to mind)
    love em or hate em .. they've worked for me everytime for over 30 years, they've been perfect for me as standard.
    If they wasn't and I wanted the sound of a Warwick I would sell the Fender and get a Warwick for sure and save loads of money and maybe take the family to Disney World :)

    much love brother silddx x
