    Just to get things straight, as it's a particular bugbear of mine, please refrain from using 'lawsuit' or 'lawsuit era', because it's not.

    Ibanez were the only manufacturer subject to any litigation and that came from Gibson and the primary thing came down to headstock design.  Fernandes were no more subject to a lawsuit than Aria (Precise/Primary series) or Tokai (Jazz Sound or Hard Puncher basses).

    Wasn't aware of this

    just read a cracking article on the very subject , very interesting and points to the facts. The statement as above is perfectly correct. Every day is a school day..keep up the good work ..

    Treat yourself to this one BeeBop, and bring back those happy memories! 😉

    I d  love to have this ..but my 57 reissue Japanese Fender doesn't do back seat .. .. the only alternative would be a real 57 or one of they Fullerton jobs fae the eighties heard good things about those ..don't see them that much and when they do come up I cant put ma hands on 2K

    it actually crossed my mind to rip oot the frets and go full circle as the Tokai I had was fretless..

    Help ma Boab

    My first decent bass was one of these ..sadly it was borrowed and I had to give it back .. I often wonder where it went ..

    I suspect it was smashed to pieces in a domestic, the guys then partner was a total head case who loved a right good argument

    most of the time she ended up smashing something... all his gear was lost this way ...mind you he was a head case as well took a hammer to

    a lovely steel road bike the cost of the repair was close to the cost of a new frame

    You guys are the best ...thanks for all the comments ..as suspected never trust a salesman

    I play a 94 MIJ 57 reissue (it bumps like a big bumpy thing... a sound to die for )  ..it has some neck dive hence why I wasn't 100% sure if all P Bass s were the same or similar .. ..

    Have a good weekend when it comes .... Cheers

    Fender P Bass Neck Dive

    in General Discussion

    I have a question which I have been wanting to ask

    Do all Fender P Bass s have neck dive ... I recently went to my local guitar store to try out an American Fender P Bass ...

    the first thing that struck me was ooft that's some neck dive ...the sales guy was messing about with the amp as I sat .. I couldn't help myself and mentioned to the sales guy that the neck was diving ...he gave me one of the most disgusting looks ever ..it was as if I had plopped in his handbag  look ..

    He then proceeds to tell me that all P Bass s have neck dive ...I tend not to believe a word these creatures tell me as its their job to sell sell sell ...(unless your lucky enough to have a wee independent store where your needs are what really matter) ...

    Cheers in advance ...probably a daft question but I simply don't know the answer ...
