Yo sabia.

yo se

I speak Spanish. :-)

Aibanizu - that's the winner!

Probably "Ibano"

And there we are, back to Fender Squier/Squire (or logo removed & replaced).

Another one is Rickenbarker.

I was assuming that "ee" is soft and "ban" is hard... But anyway, since they dropped the accent & tilde, it is no longer a Spanish word.

Well, if the name was changed from the Spanish spelling, then it's an eye-ban-ezz. If it is still insisting on its Spanish roots, then it's ee-ban-yeth. Mongrel variations like eye-ban-eth, ee-ban-eth, etc., which pick part this-part that are implicitly wrong.

It looks like it should polish up nicely.

Wow - in another of his guitars for sale... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wide-neck-strat-style-guitar-for-big-hands-a-48mm-nut-width-from-Peavey-PCGC/192506472473?hash=item2cd247a819:g:KqYAAOSwicpafFm5

Well, he is in the entertainment business, anyway!

LOL (yes, I really am!)

Seems like folks are downsizing these days.

How do you say Sei?

Ah yes - the ones who use Spanish pronunciation ("th" for 's') in Latin America (where they say "s"), as in "choritho".

Since the 'n' has a tilde, it would be ee-ban-yeth.

Yep - between the Squiers being advertised as Fenders and the various fake Fenders, including counterfeits and ones with a "cheeky" waterslide applied, it can be difficult to find a real one.

Nice one.

Also people writing Gb when it should be GB!

It seems like it's got to the point where more people write Squire than Squier.

Looks like a good job, too!

Just a reminder - here's its cousin!

The Octaver on the SS seems pretty good and doesn't run out of steam when you get down to A. I do think the number of presets could be a limitation, but I don't know how many different sounds I really want, so it may not be a practical issue. At the moment it's sitting next to an EH Synth 9, which has 9 presets you have to select by turning a knob, so the SS is more usable in that way at least. The SS seems to track very well, which is its key feature. I'll be trying its programmability at some point. The link also complained about the dry sound leaking through; actually I like to run to two amps, one dry, so that's not particularly an issue. Mine is the Mk.II/facelift one - I don't know if there is any difference with the Mk.I, apart from the styling.

He might've not known that Geddy's teardrop bass was a Precision.
