| | | | i'd be pissed if somebody threw up on my bass. No offence to those who like it, but I can't ever see myself buying a bass painted like that. Unless it was blue instead of that yellowish-green colour I see....

They were both new, they couldn't give them away. I didn't like them then, but Man, I really want one now!

It is a shame they made it a mexican, that colour deserves at least Japanese treatment, that thing looks AMAZING!
If it were an American, well, I guess I'd be buying two basses this month I shouldn't have

A new American version would probably diminish the value of the vintage ones.
...I love the snotburst. |

Your 78 precision is absolutely gorgeous. |

It's just too bad that by the time I could save up enough money, they'll likely be OOP. However, since I'm planning on trying to save up for a new AM.STD. Fender P-bass anyway, this , if it's still around when I've saved enough, might be a viable alternative for me. Any ideas on how long these FSR's usually hang around?

Whay years were they made?
Each instrument was really an original finish. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2012 Location: Binghamton, NY | | | did a google search and one place had a "comin soon" page for the basses and the P was at $750 retail. i'd consider getting one of these 'cause i always thought they looked pretty cool, but i'd like to see it and play it in person, but i also wouldn't be bummed if i missed out on it, especially because fender's been doing a bunch of special runs lately and i'm sure something cooler might come up haha |
