Fender and your opinions

[Jacqueslemac]

In my limited experience, the prices charged new do reflect real differences in the quality of wood, components and workmanship. And even though a CNC machine can operate the same wherever it is in the world, the ground rent and the wages of those paid to use and maintain them vary hugely.

Whether or not the differences in quality justify the difference in cost is subjective.

I buy almost all my basses secondhand, which does bring the difference down a fair bit. My Mexican Precision could well be twice as good as the Squier Precision I owned for a short time, but whether the MIA Jazz is six times as good is far less clear.

That said, having bought the Squier I was very happy to let it go pretty quickly, while I have no intention of letting my Jazz go, ever.

He's spelled his name correctly.

Yes, I know. I know full well. I was inferring that the vast majority of folk spell [i]Squier[/i] incorrectly

I must remember that dry wit is sometimes better heard than read
