    Very sensible decision 👏 I've had a few Squiers in the past and it's never occurred to me scrub the Squier name off for a Fender one.
  2. Terry M.
    The Classic Vibe range from Squier at least use alnico magnets in their pickups. I used to have one.
  3. Terry M.
    A sub £300 Squier I would say. The ceramic pickups put it in line with the Affinity line. This "new" line of Fender are Squiers with a posher label.

    These are Mexican made and finished in the USA. Highway One runs between the two countries. The made in USA sticker doesn't mean all parts were made there. Just so we're all clear on that. It doesn't mean they're not good,I'm just saying not be overly seduced by the USA label 😊👍

    Depending who you ask there hasn't been a proper Fender since Leo sold the company to CBS. Not necessarily my view btw.
  6. Terry M.
    That might not be such a bad thing?

    The bassist insisted his 5 string was in fact a 4 string? I'm not doubting that you can count btw 🤣

    Sadowsky is easily my favourite fso bass. Would love to snag an older Japanese 5 string variant at some point in time. Congratulations on your purchase 👏

    I had to Google "Savant". Never too old to learn. I like it 👌

    And look at the prices of 70s Fenders now. Part romanticism maybe 🤔

    They'll get away with it. Some people HAVE to have that F word on the headstock.

    Cool. I stick around if I'm feeling the song 👍
  13. Terry M.
    Even if you really like the song?
  14. Terry M.
    I'm sooooo pleased I'm not the only one who feels this way 🤣

    And then there's Charlie Hunter who can play guitar and bass parts simultaneously and extremely competently. I learned about him through the D'Angelo album Voodoo. How he does that is beyond me.

    Warwick Streamer and Thumb owner here. The Streamer hangs more "traditionally" for want of a better word. The Thumb was a bass I had to get to know. We're now so well acquainted that all other basses to me almost feel like the first fret is now right under my nose! It's what you play repeatedly and get used to in my opinion. I'd never get rid of it as that tone seems unavailable anywhere else.
  17. Terry M.
    No I'm very strict with unplugging them in between uses. I do practice more than 3 hours daily so that might play a part.
  18. Terry M.
    That's impressive. I also have a couple of Warwick basses but I've never had a battery even last a year on either of them.
  19. Terry M.
    Agreed. It does require a particular skill which as stated previously won't be for everybody. Calling it stupid however...well...
  20. Terry M.
    This is a fair analysis. I liked the 3rd YouTube link but can objectively see how it won't appeal to everybody. It's number 2 for me of the 3 and your take on it is pretty accurate to me. Number 1,while it appealed to several individuals on here and was played well,just didn't excite me. And yes ironically there is a slap/pop section on the original 😊
  21. Terry M.
    Wow has that been your experience? You got me 🤣
  22. Terry M.
    I liked them all but found the 2nd link a little more exciting than the others. I appreciate thumpin and plucking (the original term for the technique) isn't for everybody but I'm not sure it's fair to call it stupid.

    When I had my EBMM SR5 I actually wondered why their way wasn't an industry standard 🤔
  24. Terry M.
    I had a black one of these and loved it dearly. I say had because the bridge string spacing eventually wore me down,got big hands. This will make someone very happy. I preferred the ceramic pickup to the alnico sometimes found on the Stingray 5,loved my ceramic era Stingray 5 but again these bear paws of mine 🐾

    Very disappointing from such an established brand.
