Fender needs to make a Talkbass edition

[superdick2112]

Give it the option of some Mothman graphics, and I'm in!

 

[WoodyG3]

All I can say is that it damn well better be an MIA.

 

[Gorn]

Are there any fender employed TBers? I know there's a Warwick guy and an SBMM guy. I wonder if fender ever checks out talkbass.

 

[Musiclogic]

The Fender Talkbass model would has to be headless, weigh 3 lbs and have an active passive East preamp for all TB'ers, and be priced less than a squier. Cheap, light with no neckdive........Oh lord.....nobody on TB would have anything to complain about that could not be easily altered

Geez, no mojo talk yet?

It'd have to be made from 1960's wood stock miraculously found in fender's woodpile, you know, because old "seasoned" "aged" wood with mojo sounds better on a P-bass.

And it'd have to come with some kind of gen-u-whine Fender mojo gunk in/on it, because mojo makes for better sound.

It'll be like those Ferraris that you buy, but can't keep at your own house. Fender will send "a guy" to bring it out to you whenever you want to play it.

Oh, and you'll need to sign an agreement that, while it's in your possession, no children or pets can play/touch/look/pee on it.

Matter of fact, if you have children and/or pets, forget it...you can't buy one because having children or pets, i think we all agree, is completely irresponsible

Okay, we may be getting close...

I understand that TB would not want their name associated with anything that we come up with, I wouldn't want my name associated with it either.

So...

Obviously it has to be called the carrot edition. The neck plate will say Carrot shop instead of custom shop.

 

[George Mann]

It would have to be a Precision of course, tort guard, and it would ship with flats...

Add a Jazz-width neck and you have a deal!

 

[George Mann]

And it has to have the original '50's split-coil with a .1uF tone cap!

 

[George Mann]

And don't forget the string mute.

 

[Nev375]

Just take the tort/sunburst p-bass with flats and throw it into a wood chipper and garnish the remains with a carrot.

That's the best artistic impression of talkbass I can think of.

 

[Dean N]

So who's good at using Photoshop? I think it's about time to get this thing drawn up.

The tone is in the fingers.

So, it has to come with fingers.

STOP

I cannot believe no one has brought this up:

The funk is in the chunk.

It must come with removable chunk, as we don't all play funk.

Winner.

Also, wood doesn't matter, so it won't come with any.

 

[George Mann]

Winner.

Also, wood doesn't matter, so it won't come with any.

Hell, nothing really matters, so why should we even bother...

 

[Nobody]

Are there any fender employed TBers?

I get the feeling most people on talkbass are Fender employees.

Are they quarter sawn or flat sawn fingers?

 

[dougjwray]

Whatever it is, it has to be "built like a tank" and it has to "nail the [insert adjective here] sound."

Also, it would be good if it were built in China or Indonesia and STILL cost way too much.

Blocks NO binding.
Or binding and just face dots.......
