Fender Back Order Wait times ~20 Months!

It baffles me why anyone would wait 20 months for a Fender when there are sooooo many on the used market. Literally thousands. I do like a great Fender Jazz but when my life is passing me by musically waiting for a Fender Ultra J.? Dont get it.
Gotta read the first 59 posts, the answer is within, at least my answer....

Specific hard to find color, new with 0% financing, and locked in old price before the 300+ price increase....i can keep going:whistle:
 
I would rather spend 20 months in a Greek prison with a 100 gallon barrel of lube than waiting for Fender to build and ship me a bass . Go and buy a Sadowsky or a Nash or something and get on with your life .

The OP was looking for a specific finish. Apparently, it’s not readily available in his locale.

You could at least be grateful for another platform where can exercise your Fender bashing in such an eloquent manner.

FWIW, my life has gone on quite nicely with Mike Lull basses.
