Mexican Fenders
in Bass Guitars
Posted
Looking for some input and your very own, highly prejudiced opinions.
I am thinking about getting a MiM P-Bass. At the moment, I am playing a very cheap P-Bass copy, which is a mix between a musical instrument and a device to build some serious forearm muscles. Testing some Fender basses at my local instruments dealer felt like a delight and as I postponed my plans on robbing a bank, my budget won't allow for any Fender American Somethings (by the way, I heard rumors stating Mexico is a part of America, too).
Which leaves me with two options.
a) The Fender Standard P- Bass MiM
b) Classic Series 50s P - Bass (also MiM)
I played both of them and I actually preferred the feel of the MiM, mainly because the slightly thinner neck felt more comfortable, but I am quite certain I might get used to the Classic Series' neck, as I am a bit of giant with relatively large hands, anyway. The only problem is it is about 200GBP more expensive. Will it be worth it?
As far as I understand it, the Classic is using a better pickup and the wood is looking a bit nicer. I didn't have the time to properly check the difference in sound, which I will do in the coming days, but for now, I'm just looking for some feedback.
