This is a Fender forum !! I remember this being posted some months ago and probably deleted by a moderator, I replied then that this was not the place to advertise other brands albeit unintentionally , Please desist.. 99.9 % of our members will not be amused and some replies may not be so diplomatic...Adios :roll:

No offence taken,If it wasn´t you then it was someone else and i aplologise ! ( a strange coincidence) and anyway Bob Logan would not appreciate it either as he does not make Basses but Strat and Tele copies, And as you are a member of this forum please share your Fender Precision experience with us, Also that link was a dead end (404)

Logan does make basses. Don't know more than that as I never saw one in person. Looks like a lawsuit waiting to happen to me because they are direct copies down to the trademarked headstocks.

The way around legal problems for them would be to buy Fender licensed necks and bodies from one of the licensed suppliers of Fender replica components. If that is what they are doing you could do that yourself in your garage, and what you are paying for is for them to do the finishing, assembly and setup for you.

Is that how Nash does it? I really like their bass copies, but I wish they didn't have to look so beat to hell...

I really don't know for sure, but that is one way to not get sued.

Fender copy companies...they never get the measurements right. Fender is very specific with measurements.

Yeah, I had several $10 "Rolexes" at my plant in GDL. There is a reason Rolex is Rolex and Fender is Fender.

I have had good luck so far with Warmoth components.

Which leads me to a follow-up question: I'm not here to advertise for Warmoth, but as an officially licensed producer of replacement Fender necks and bodies, are they suitable for discussion here?

The reason I ask is a response I received to a post on the Jazz Bass forum. The topic of the thread was Fender Super 55 split-coil Jazz pickups. I have a Warmoth Jazz body that I had custom routed for three pickups, and I put Fender Super 55's in all three routes. I posted a picture of it, and got a response with an accusatory tone saying the bass wasn't a Fender.

I read the forum rules, and I didn't see anything that specifically addresses this.

Fender probably makes money off of Warmoth. Really, I'm taking a risk by saying that. I don't think they like business discussions in the Lounge.
