Fender needs to make a Talkbass edition

[makaspar]

I'm sorry, and I think it's been suggested, but the only bass that can be the TB sig is the Mothman. Search for it if you don't know of the legend..

Ok, so after reading all of this thread, here's the updated spec sheet:

-Squier P Bass body

-Optional inlays: carrot, corn, Jeff Gordon
-Mentally switchable fretted, unlined/lined fretless fingerboard
Fingerboard made of Tolex stolen from Ampeg SVT
-Tort pickguard, reversible, orange on the other side. Shaped like a beard
-Adjustable body wood
-Adjustable neck ballast for desired neck dive
-DR Neon straplocks
-Dry roasted, salted nut.
-Nut options: peanut, almond, brass, carrot
-Adjustable painted/unpainted neck, sloppily sanded down to satin-ish finish at the factory. Neck either matches headstock or body, but not both.
-Finish options: Seafoam Carrot, Green, Dark green, medium green, natural, Wenge, Wange, and Wenge.
-Argues with other basses based on owner's opinions
-Comes with fingers for desired tone
-Made in Mexico at fender chinese factory

-Foam under strings at 5th fret for classic foamwound tone

I think you nailed our "must have" list pretty well.

I think I just pee'd myself.

I know I did.

If a time machine is not available, may I suggest an additional control knob for an effect I'm developing; haven't a catchy name yet like Ravishing Sitar, but the control module itself can boost/cut entropy. It would be used to make a new bass old, or an old bass new, in varying degrees, depending on the whims of the owner.

Is this going to be something like a relic control? If so, what would you say is the best capacitor value for medium/medium-light road worn tone?
