    Some of us will remember the Fender American Series from about 20 years ago (not American Standard) that came with the S-1 switch as stock to change between series and parallel mode. I tried a used Jazz 5 string version just a few hours ago in Fair Deal Music in Birmingham and asked the question: Fender why did you stop this feature? In series mode it simply sounded divine. To me anyway 🤤

    The good thing is if you get rid of the Jazz and fancy another one later on they're not exactly hard to come by.

    Take the Z7 out the equation unless you HAVE to have a neck pickup? I tried one in Andertons and found the neck pickup mixed with bridge one didn't give me the Stingray vibe I was after. A leap of faith with a decent return policy I've always found "fun". Done it with success many times.

    You will "allow" me? Your response only proves what I said originally about the phenomenon pre dating the 90s in response to the OP. I neither know or care who the original boyband was whether Monkee, Chimpanzee or Orangutan. And anyway the Beatles initially flopped in the US.

    This should answer or address the OP quite well 👏

    I'm up on current albums featuring groups that appeal to me,they just aren't mainstream acts so a little more "searching" is required 👍
  7. Terry M.
    Totally agree. There's some killer music being produced to this day.

    We're all allowed to pick our favourites which is fine. A boyband is still a boyband regardless. I like the Jackson 5 who completely went through the Motown grooming process so much so that they left the label minus one brother.
  9. Terry M.
    My point is the Boyband phenomenon predates the 90s as the OP mentioned originally.
  10. Terry M.
    Not in the same way that Simon Cowell does but they still went through a "grooming" process even down to their clothing and general image. To achieve their chart successes required a certain amount of applied formula.

    The 90s early 2000s bands pre-existed in some form or other before mass exposure also. I'm aware Epstein didn't create them from scratch.
  12. Terry M.
    They still benefited from a certain degree of moulding.
  13. Terry M.
    How about Brian Epstein with the Beatles?

    This applies to society in general I think. Anyway the music industry has no interest at all in selling products with maximum artistic integrity. It's about the "pop star" lifestyle and maximum capital generation. I'm wondering how many major players in the industry can explain the difference between a major and a minor scale 🤔

    The F word is so powerful that there's a growing number of Squiers in classified ads with the narrative starting "Fender Squier" instead of 'Squier by Fender"

    They're Bass Direct's photos hence the joke from Bass Direct 🤣

    Crazy isn't it? The truss rod wheel made so much practical sense as well. What if Fender went after all the companies that have their own version of their famous designs. I know it's just the headstock that's copyright protected but still. And yes with regards to the Ultra comment. Makes me wonder what they'll do next and at what cost...
  18. Terry M.
    Cool. Hopefully that combination gives you what sound you're after or at least comes close.

    RIP Sam Moore who passed away just last month. January 10th 💐

    Let me know what you think 👍
  21. Terry M.
    So based on that will you look for a Trace Elliott amp if you don't already have one?
  22. Terry M.
    I'm sure you already knew Wilton was also a killer bassist? That's him on bass on the Jackson 5's I Want You Back (as one example)
  23. Terry M.
    REALLY good shout 👏
  24. Terry M.
    Does it include The Sound Table?
  25. Terry M.
    It was YEARS before I clocked it was a cover of an O'Jays original 😎
