But not me! [/quote] Nor me! I had a USA Fender, years back Also owned a Fender Musicmaster Now I have as a backup bass, an Indonesian built Squire P bass It's much better than the USA Fender ever was! Honestly...... It's lighter, it sounds much better - it has 2 pickups And it's the model released with the J bass neck So all in all, it's much more playable I'm more than pleased with it and wouldn't swap it for a USA Fender - well, except to flog it & buy another Indonesian one! Cheers EDIT: Welcome from another newbie BTW Edited August 27, 2013 by Marc S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc S Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 When I first bought a bass - a few years ago now The general attitude at the time was you either buy a Fender, a Gibson or a Rickenbacker..... or you buy rubbish This may have been true in many cases, but there were some real gems around I once owned a Shaftesbury Rick copy and it was brilliant! You can't get them for love nor money now and I wish I'd paid the dosh to have it re-fretted, and hung on to it I also recall playing a couple of good Ibanez basses, and a really nice Aria bass Yamaha made some pretty good models too at the time A pal also owned a cheap Jazz copy, and that was really good But I can't recall the manufacturer..... At the time, I was influenced by the way many people thought, and bought a Fender P. It was well built, sounded pretty good, but weighed a ton, and had a really thick neck which wasn't too easy to play either There's much more choice out there now and I've played some really nice cheap basses Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
