Fender Flea Jazz Bass

[Gianni "Orlandez" Orlati]

Quite expensive I'd rather say for a quite anonymous jazz bass IMO... Ma Am. Std. In OVH looks better....

 

[jd56hawk]

Nothing better than a pink Jazz bass that actually looks white.
I like it, though. At least it has a more roadworn look than the regular ones.

 

[pacojas]

i want one to go with my Shell Pink Heavy Relic pbass!!! drool omgggg

 

[LadyLoveStingRay5]

Im interested.

I'd go into debt for this...

I was looking on the website to pick some specs for my 60's style jazz bass. I've always liked the look of a black one, red tort pickgaurd and rosewood board.

Then I saw this!!!! Now I'm torn.... It hits all my buttons. And if any of fenders recent offerings are an indication, it will be a stellar bass. Damnit!!!

For $1200 they could at least include a sticker to put on it

But really... I love this look. I just don't love Fender's ability to relic instruments. Now an MJT shell pink, stacked knob Jazz Bass? I'd buy that. (But won't because I already have plenty of basses I built from parts that I won't be able to sell). Even if it just had a standard nitro finish, I'd be down. It's been years since I've had a J.

Yes true, all prices have gone up, sometimes in surges. When american standards shot up from $700 to a grand for instance, and now they are $1300.

But $1199 for MIM seems a new landmark... That would have been the fair price had Japan still been in operation I think.

That wall ain't gonna happen, and if it does, better start building that underground bunker!

$1300? The're over $2000 in Canada, now.

$1199 is the Artist series. The Standards are still $600US/$800CA

Mex $349 USA $599. What do you think this is the 21st century or something?

Time stopped in 93, didn't you get that memo? Apparently fender didnt

There was another thread about these bass, and I'll chip in here as well. I would prefer this one to the one they are marketing haha.

Looks awesome. I'm not willing to spend $1300 on one but once they start hitting the used market for $700 or so, sure.

These are now available in Europe (I think they are a European launch first before the US release). Some guys in basschat have been discussing them and by all accounts they are a quality bass. They are actually less expensive than the other RW basses for sale from dealers in the UK just now!

 

[Shoreday]

It's official now:
