I've owned more Fender bass alternatives...
We'll leave it at that.
Fender vs gibson = fender win.
Weird that. Maybe I need to play more Gibson's.
Jeff Beck sounds better on a Strat
Fender Win
Solid body - Fender.
Semi - Gibson.
I wanted the Les Paul, but when I got it [he got his first one early in 1966], it was so refined, and not really the tool you need on stage for some reason. The controls were in the wrong place. I kept hitting the pickup selector on/off in the wrong position. The Esquire—no problem at all. I used to spin it around on top of the amp and change the speed of the echo while it was feeding back. Total lunacy! I used to try and break it. And I never broke it.

I've gone full Gibson now but I do sometimes wonder if Fender players have more fun. It would be nice to be able to be less careful
If course I'm choosing Gibson here. Sonic pulverisation
Strat V Les Paul = LP
Tele V 335 = 335
Mustang V Junior = Jr
Jazzmaster V Flying V = JM
Jaguar V SG = SG
4-1 to Gibson
Jazz vs EB - Jazz
Fender amp vs ?? - Fender amp
4-4
Gibson makes it 5-4
I mainly play an acoustic. I’ve never played a Fender acoustic I’ve liked. Simple.
If its electric ONLY then I’d have to side with Fender. A telecaster is the only electric guitar I need- they do anything.
The combat would be simple. Fender just have to wait for the Gibson side to surrender and beg for a chiropractor.
Maybe it's psychological, I grew up around pre-CBS Fenders and played little else for years, but a good Byrdland, 295 or Switchmaster will stop me dead in my tracks in a way no bolted up plank ever will.
There, corrected that for you.
Gibson.
(if I needed an actual hand to hand combat weapon - Tele without a question!)
