Vienradzis, vispārējs, means the same thing, doesn't it, @nilorius?

Respectfully disagree on the ugly verdict. As for weight, well there are lighter basses at the centre of a black hole

Well I could take it one further and suggest that the J pickup gets replaced with a DiMarzio also, so that the pole pieces also match...

It might look more balanced if the neck pickup is replaced with a DiMarzio Model One with black cover.

Unicorn == unobtainable (or at least super difficult), mythical. The only thing it has in common with the word universal is that it starts with the same three letters. Also, the unicorn is the national animal of Scotland.

muhahahaha...

Is there anything "universal" about you other than you breathe oxygen? You do breathe oxygen, right?

It's really just the pickup placements and types that made me say that, coupled with the fact that this bass might stand a chance of balancing on a strap unlike a long scale EB/SG style.

Is this Fender just saying "ha ha Gibson, look, we can even make an EB-3L better than you"

Perhaps I meta'ed the whole thing because of the use of the word "universal". I saw beyond myself and had a realistic think about bass players/bass playing in general. If it's just another free-for-all scrum of personal opinions then you're all wrong, my basses are the best basses in the world until I sell them and get other ones which are the best basses in the world

You say that, but from a Gibsonhead here - universal == Precision bass. I'll embellish: I like Gibson basses BECAUSE they're weird, because they have foibles, because they're relatively uncommon. All those attributes which I deem to be positive pretty much knock them out of contention when it comes to universality. I'm not that blinkered. Gibson have made several choices along the road which ended up practically guaranteeing that they would forever be outliers in the bass world. Including the latest choice of the past few years - don't bother.

YOU'RE NOT MY REAL DAD!

The Specials, "Nite Klub" If there were any unwitting musicians in the music shop when I was trying/buying my first bass - The Stranglers, "Peaches".

They're pretty rare, relative to Artists and Standards, so you'll have plenty of time to build up your strength in the gym before you find one

Route one?

Bloody poor showing in Scotland north of the central belt - where are all my bass playing teuchters at?

All they'd have to do is not make the body out of maple which was pretreated in a black hole I disagree about messing with the electronics - the circuit in the Victory Artist is pretty clever - good range on the 2 band EQ in active mode, full passive mode (bass and treble cut only) and a notch filter for scoopy, slappy stuff if that's your thing.

So, is this confirmation that the word "mono" means "defective" to Gen-Z?

Epiphone == Gibson. ONE OF US

I don't think this conversation would have been necessary if you'd done it wrong

There's also "roaster", which is a Glaswegian term of endearment... https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=roaster

Despite my reputation, I've been pretty omnivorous the whole time I've been playing. I've played gigs with Gibsons/Epiphones, Fenders/Squiers, and many others on the periphery of the neverending great holy war. I believe that as long as I have roundwounds and humbuckers, I'll sound like me.

Simmer down, it has only been an hour!

You're doing it wrong x2

Sorry, I've heard neither so I can't comment. Why do you want to change? What do you hope for with the change?
