Something that I've been giving a lot of thought to: general consensus being that Joe Public can't tell one bass apart from another (gross generalisation, but SOME truth per chance, and read often on here!!), so what is the tangible distinction, [b]mixed through a band PA[/b], between old school pups from say a 72 Fender Jazz, which has a definite period sound, in comparison to the more recent MIA Jazz circa 2009/2010??
Ergo: why spend the money on vintage prices in the first place!!
Any opinions?
