Jack Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 (edited) It's nice to see a company doing something different. I've wanted a bass like that one for a while but I just don't like Fender. Now that another company with such a long pedigree of instrument manufacturing is making a similar bass at such a low price point I'm sure they get lots of business.

WHUFC BASS Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Really can't see the point of this bass. The headstock reminds me of a cross between the new SX range and the only Peavey headstocks. For that money I'd want something a bit special, not some re-hashed Fender copy with a moody headstock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingus Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Maybe it's intended as some kind of revenge- if bass makers keep selling their own brand strings the La Bella want to turn the tables by making basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Jamin Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I'm sure it's a great P bass though. Like all the other ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico@Bass Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 (edited) Another Fender copy... Sure it's a great sounding / playing bass but there are so many of them! Edited November 5, 2012 by Nico@Bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle psychosis Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Sometimes I wonder if companies in the music business actually know *anything* about their customers. For £3k, if I wanted a vintage Precision bass, I could get a real vintage Fender or even get a Fender custom shop and probably have some change. WTF is the point in this?

StephenFerguson Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 (edited) I like my P Bass, its by Fender? although it was a third of the price so its probs sh*te. Edited November 5, 2012 by StephenFerguson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Yep my first bass was a Peavey Foundation with that headstock shape. Boring boring boring but plenty of people buy these boring basses, many of them play and sound great but they are still boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
