littlethoughts Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 My new Fender Cabronita Precision bass, bought off AndyDye from around these parts. Sounds lovely, really crisp but with a round chocolatey-ness (a bit like a kitkat). Also it seems I'm developing a bit of a thing for strange combinations of telecaster headstock, double cut body and weird pick guard...

Roland Rock Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Lovely! Nice to hear it sounds chocolatey! When you say crisp, would you say more salt n vinegar, or cheese and onion ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Burrito Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Having been GAS free for several years now I am slightly tempted with the Squier version and I don't even eat chocolate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skej21 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Sounds awesome. Aren't kitkats more square than round? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I hear the Squier version is good bang for the buck and has the exact same pickup, and I was thinking about pouncing on a used one if it came up, but this one showed up first!

basshead56 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Surely with it's combination of round and crispy it's more similar to a Lion Bar? Would love a pair of those Fidelitrons for a project! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even better would be a regular fidelitron plus something like a TV jones thunder-mag ([url="http://tvjones.com/pickups-2/bass-pickups/thunder-mag/"]http://tvjones.com/pickups-2/bass-pickups/thunder-mag/[/url]), which supposedly creates rickenbacker-esque tones. I'm not sure which would work best in the treble/neck positions though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
