Arghh. The horror!

I would assume the OP is talking about the paint scheme. After all,I AM 42 yrs. old.But,I'm kinda having a "hair-metal bass,mid-life crisis".In other words,I'm wanting the basses that I wanted in my teens/early 20's.

Examples??I'll give ya some examples!!:
B.C. Rich-Preferably,an Ironbird.(Yes yes.....Lime Green!!)
Washburn-Rudy Sarzo Model
Jackson-Kip Winger sig. Bass
Hamer-Blitz Bass
And many,many more!!

But,what I want to know is:Where does the "custom Fender" part come in?? Does it have a Fender body? Pups? What???

I just see scammer written all over it. Looks like a $100 bass painted by an 8 year old to me.

24 fret neck + bart pickups means automatically that it's not a $100 bass. It's probably a warmoth bass that was put together using a Fender style P+J body. Depending on the wood used for the body and neck, combined with the pickups/pre-amp and any custom cutting/painting that was done by a luthier instead of the owner (i.e. work was sourced out) then it could easily be a high quality bass with a horrid paint scheme.

Edit: Yea, that's definitely a warmoth/all parts body, the fact that there's no pick-guard gives it away, since you can't take the pickguard off a P-bass and still have it function and look well.
