Gretsch Junior Jet Bass

Exactly. In all the years since its release, I've never heard or read where anyone said they bought the bass because it had a humbucker instead of a single coil.

There are not much people as annoying as him. I didn't watched it completely either.

I know I started the thread, but just as a factual thing.

I watched as much of the video as I could stand.  Preening and self-congratulation, promoting the assumption that Fender made the dastardly decision to defraud Gretsch customers and cover it up.  The smugness is excessive. It's pretty clear that the pickup change was a production change in process and that it wasn't reflected in a specification update on their website. Stuff happens.

It is gauche posturing. A few years ago a chef in Edinburgh kicked off in a big way because a food influencer/blogger had protested that they had paid £20 for a bottle of wine in the restaurant, whereas the same bottle could be bought for £7 from a shop. The influencer had never worked in the hospitality sector, so had no idea about why a restaurant might have to charge a markup on a bottle of wine.

Likewise Crab Claw is strutting around like he has cunningly exposed the soft white underbelly of FMIC.

I'm glad you brought it up, Chris.

Somebody needs to send him this.
