Funny you asked :) I was just thinking the other day, one of my first cars was my Mum's old Austin A35 in Old English White, a good match for my Fender '57 AV P-bass in White Blonde.

Think my 2 US Fender Precisions are probably the Vauxhall Astras of the bass world - nothing fancy, but very reliable, and you can get spare parts for them virtually anywhere.

i'd liken all jazz basses to porches- they're curvy, decent for the money, and give or take a few bits of chrome have never actually changed appearance

i agree with most of that- but i'd say fender precisions are more the ford transits becasue thay got everything else where they are

Amen to that!

[quote name='charic' post='1241269' date='May 23 2011, 10:17 AM']For some reason the first car that comes to mind for my ACG is a TVR...

No idea why.[/quote]
Runs hot, plastic and creates a whole load of noise?
I know, I had one!

My Squier CV = probably a decent Skoda: lot of bang for buck
My HW1 = Ford Mustang

Just suggesting that ACG made you think TVR because they were both Three-Letter Acronyms.

I have to go with BigRedX on this one though. No car could even come close to my Hondo Precision copy.

God knows. If I was to compare my basses to cars I've driven it would be

Shuker - Audi RS6
Spectors - Audi RS4 avant
Pedulla Pentabuzz - Ferrari 360
Celinder P and J update - Audi S3
Pre EB Musicman Stingray - Lancia Delta Integrale
Alembic Series 1 - Aston Martin DB5

What a cooooool car!! My Dad had two of 'em when I was a wee lad. Completely nothing to do with the thread, but that car needed pointing out!

Not many J/M's out there and even fewer that switch to a J.J. So, 'cos the name's not fashionable, I reckon my GB74 - see pic on left - is a bit of a top end Skoda Octavia, but not the VRS.

Open E and A; think of the keyboard generated bass from "Bohemian LIke you" by the Dandy Warhols.
