                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I currently own a Fernandes "retrospect"  J - bass copy.  I dont know whats up w/ it but the pickups are picking everything up.  If you hit the body or the strap buttons it picks up through the amp.  Its especially bad since i have straplocks you hear the sound of metal grinding through my amp.  With this in mind i think im gonna get a new bass.  Ive narrowed it down to either a Fender Standard P - Bass or an Epiphone Thunderbird.  I really like the Thunderbird, but i dont like how the neck is a lot longer and wider than most basses and i hear ALOT about how its very unbalanced and the neck tends to dive.  The neck diving is really driving me away from that bass since i have a cheap Rogue bass that does that and it annoys the hell out of me.  I like the Fender P - bass alot but it seems like every man woman and child that has ever owned a bass has a P- bass or P - bass copy, and i like to be original (yea, i know a thunderbird isnt exactly a rare bass to see ppl playing but compared to the p -bass its pretty original).  I also dont like teh colors.  could someone please shed light on the situation]]></content:encoded>
