Fender Geddy in 3-Tone Sunburst?

[NKBassman]

I really wanted a Geddy for the tone and because they play amazingly, but I already have a black bass with white gaurd and maple board with black inlays...

I really wanted an American Standard Jazz in 3-Tone Sunburst and red tortoise pickgaurd (as in John Paul Jones tribute), but was a little turned off by the price tag...

Then I went to the Fender site and almost pooped myself:

Anybody know how long this option has been available on the Geddy?

This is the first I'm hearing of it and I would like to think that I stay on top of events such as this. lol

Well yeah. I know I looked at the Fender site a few weeks ago (no more than 3), and I didn't notice it then...

Very nice addition to the standard Geddy. I just love block inlays on pretty much any bass, but the maple fretboard just makes them "pop" so much better.
Such a killer bass!
