New Guitar!!
Tartar Martyr:
--- Quote from: Johnny C ---Frankly, I just love semi-hollowbody guitars and Fender (according to their webpage) doesn't make them, instead making their highly-overrated Strats, Squiers and Telecasters.
Gibson 4 Life.

How are the strat or tele any more "overrated" than LPs? Strats and Teles give unique tones that forged rock and roll in the days of yore. LPs have their own set of unique tones, but at nearly half the price, half the weight and a much greater chance that I will not get a lemon with the frets hanging over the sides, crappy wiring, or glue hanging off in various places, I will take my American made Fender. Gibson makes some nice stuff, but their quality control is shite.
Not trying to argue, they are both good brands, I am just not seeing/understanding the "Fender is crap compared to Gibson" argument.
ColdSteelRain:
I have a Epiphone bass and a Fender amp; personally I'm quite happy with both. However part of this might have to do with the fact that I am simply increadably happy to be playing anything but the squier I learned on. That thing was a piece of shit.
wheriend_ndyubgn:
starting out with a shitty bass really is the best thing that ever happened to me as a bassist. because then once i got my hands on a bass with decent action (the Ibanez EDA 900 and Standard Jazz Bass I use now) my fingers fly like a mother fucker.

Dude, tell me about it. That's exactly how it was for me.
SuperSUGA:
The bass I learned on was by no means good, a Peavey Milestone III. But it made me a much better player in the long run, as when I moved up to my current bass (OLP Stingray) I was able to play so much better after being used to playing on something I pretty much had to strangle the notes out of.
Strangely though, I still enjoy playing my Peavey with it's dirty old strings I never got around to changing. That dull, barely-any-sustain sound really appeals to me sometimes for some reason.
