Fender Floodcaster -- For Charity

Sign in to disble this ad
I just saw this on Twitter and had to share... I think this is a phenomenal idea for a phenomenal cause.

Thoughts?

Yes, the Wavecaster... I love that thing too, but no match for the Floodcaster...



I'd say Fender did it much better, using a cavity the size of the body, instead of just the pickguard area.

Indeed,the floodcaster has a cause. And hopefully fender never contemplated filling it with someones urine like kirk did....

There's a good chance the urine is more sanitary than the floodwater in that thing though.

They're saving that for the next model, the Pee Bass.
