Jono Bolton Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Yuck! Because I'm using my work computer, a lot of pictures wont load up if they've been posted using Photobuckets and the like, so I had to do a wee Google search to find a picture.

Find out next week on... Basschat (Cue music from "soap") [/quote] Not enough strings and no upper fretboard access so it's not for me. I don't have anything against bolt-on necks - just the ones that limit access to the upper frets. I have basses from Lightwave and Traben that have bolt-on necks but they've been designed so that I can get to all the notes I want without the neck joint getting in the way. For those who've never tried it there's something massively pleasing about the tone of notes between the 12th and 19th frets on the E and A strings. I certainly couldn't be without them.

No idea who's in charge at Fender these days!! [/quote] They're between a rock and hard place though, if they come up with some actual "new" designs, they'll never get it right, Fender heads will hate them, and non-fender players won't really be interested anyway. They could do a lot better than just bringing out new(ish) colours every so often, or slight tweaks, they could develop things a bit more, refine shapes, improve the weight and handling of instruments, while keeping some more classic examples around too, and I'm sure everyone would be happy to see an improvement in Quality Control. I guess they do this to a certain degree, but they could always do a bit more, it's not as if they don't have the budget for it, a proper Fender Jazz 6 string for instance, folks have been asking for one of those for a very long time, the Steve Bailey sig got close, but it was astronomically expensive, and didn't quite nail it for most folks. I also thought the Roscoe Beck sig was a nice example of what Fender could be doing and should have filtered down to more affordable lines, but it didn't seem to catch on. Mind you, Ernie Ball seem to come up with new and interesting ideas while keeping their brand style, ethos and rabid fan base, there's something Fender are missing... </my other 2p> Eude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
