The O bass art deco pickguard sets it apart from every other LP-shaped bass. Here's an example of poor pickguard design. On the left we have the glaringly bad "Let's put some thought into the top half but cut off the bottom because we can't come up with anything better" Telecaster. On the right we have an example with more thought put into it.

I've owned quite a few Fenders, but they're all gone. This Squier isn't going anywhere! Proper strings were the only thing it needed.

Sure, several good ones, but let's narrow it down to the great ones. G&L L2500

You're not talking about another same old, same old, are you? Dare to be different! Reverend Thundergun. One of the best-kept secrets in the bass world. Passive, pure and potent! You won't find a better bass for the money.

I finally had the chance to play one a few weeks ago. I didn't expect anything special, but I was wrong. Tried one out for about 20 minutes. Enjoyed the pure passive tone so much that I forgot to switch to active!

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that should be able to get the job done.

Is there anything particularly wrong with the 50th anniversary T-bird? I tried one once, maybe four years ago, and it was nice enough to buy. Didn't have the money for it, though, even though the price was right.

Hey, people can simply buy one of the Gene Simmons basses, instead...even though there's really nothing special about them...no active electronics, no upgraded pickups, but Gene 𝘸𝘢𝘴 known for playing T-birds, so...

Such fine basses made me forget all about Fender.

With so many ever-changing Fender P basses...Fender Professional I and II, Fender Performer, American Ultra, American Vintage, American Original, American Original 50s, American Original 60s, and whatever they decide to go with next time they make an unnecessary name change, the best advice is to forget Fender and go G&L.

Gold pearl would look good.

Good bassist, good basses, but...

https://www.talkbass.com/threads/fender-japan-aerodyne-special-precision.1567598/ Hey, let's call them Aerodynes, even though they're not. That way, we can count on Aerodyne and Boxer fans buying them! Other than that, I have to say I've never heard anyone call white and two-color-burst vibrant before! By the way, nice touch putting the white access plate on the green one. That's some heads-up thinking there.

...but pulled it out today and it was still in tune! Due to financial difficulties, I had this listed on Facebook Marketplace, but after playing it today, I decided I'd be a fool to sell it. Did I mention it only weighs 7.3 lbs?

I always use gig bags, but whenever I talk about them, countless hardshell case lovers chime in about them. (I also have a Gator Pro Go.)

Sure, but it doesn't change the fact that most people prefer hardshell cases. Mono cases run from $180 to $270...and this new one sure isn't the Vertigo.

For the price they ask, it's a shame they're no longer including hardshell cases...and I'm big on gigbags!

I've always liked the smoked lucite one. Wouldn't buy one, but...

My Italia Imola.

Some people simply don't like the way they look. Some opt for these, instead.

Quickguards has many interesting colors, if you're looking for something different.

I think the song in the video would be the perfect backing track for the new Frogger 5000 video game due to hit the shelves next month.

I wonder what it will look like when it's finished.
