Not a bad idea Moto. I guess I'm wanting a Fender more for nostalgic reasons. My first bass was a Fender, and I regret selling it 28 years ago.
Marko - I thought about building one. My only issue is time. I recently moved, and my shop isn't set up for any projects at the moment, and I have a list of home repairs and misc projects that I don't know where I'd get around to building my next bass. Although, if I go the Warmouth route, I could buy it all finished and just assemble it.
Lots of good thoughts to chew on here guys. Thanks.
No, I know the G&L story. I love my G&L, but there's also something special about Fenders. They're iconic. They play and sound fantastic. They're so versitile.
