well,last time when i just started playin bass,i heard bout fender's reputation,people boast bout the feel of fender's instrument,the whole talking bout fender really got me interested,really really interested...
as my budget was less than 1k that time and i didnt know that MIJ fender do exist [ok, kill me]...i decided to go to sweelee to check it out,that time i already had a bass which is yamaha bb404...
tried the mexican fender,the first time i try it, i was like 'shit,how come fender like this one'... i went home and try to consult myself,maybe im still a noob,perhaps it is good and it takes time for me to get used to the feel of fender...
then the 2nd time i came to sweelee after few months,tried the same bass again,awww,the instrument really horrible,my yamaha has much" better neck and setting compared to that fender and it cost like $1100 bfore discount...there's no way that im gonna fork out my money for that piece of nonsense
untill one day i decided to try the p bass that luther brings in,really fall in love with that piece man,and finally i realised the 'thing' that make fender famous,so i assume that MIM is just not my type of bass,i would put it on the last of my list...with its workmanship and durability,its just piece of nonsense with 'fender' words on it,you pay $800 for it,$600 for the fender decals and 200$ for the rest...
the feel,the quality,the sound, the price,everything that MIJ offer you,it is bloody reasonable...remember,apart from the cute girls,those jappies do produce some serious quality guitar and bass with world class workmanship
ok MIM fanatics,you may flame me now...just stating the facts,MIM's not worth the money...haha
But I gotta tahan for my Lakland
