Fender signature that MUST be made!!! NOW!!!

[acebase62]

I'm not real interested in an artist model, but I think the "restored" Jaco bass might be a nice option.

I still say they need to bring back the Roscoe Beck signature, or at least a derivative with those pickups and/or electronics.

No one? I'll buy it.

Me too.

That assures them.... 2 people

+1.

 

[BurningSkies]

I don't see it.

Most of these people just used stock Fenders. There's really not anything unique to replicate that you can't just buy off the rack. I mean unless you want to pay extra for a stock instrument.

Maybe it should be the "Modern Electronics Model"; that's one they haven't built yet
- OK, a bit mean spirited but if those knucklheads had been thinking there would have never been such a big pre-amp business; Looks like Leo was on top of that innovation too
When you think about it, Fender with Leo was innovation and chartering new territory; Fender without him has been mostly re-living the past

Brian Wilson P Bass

I'd like to see a Sting Signature with the right specs!

* Alder body without the extra routing.
* Original size neck without the inlay.
* Bigger, vintage size string ferrules.
* Nitro finish, heavy relic.

Basically a CS bass. Yes, more expensive than the existing CIJ, but I'd buy one tomorrow...

How about a 59 / 60 Stack Knob Jazz Bass in 3-tsb. I will sign it !

Doug Rauch Jazz Bass. P/J pickups (not unlike an Aerodyne) plus a mudbucker. Even Carlos loved that bass!

The Berry Oakley Tractor bass sounds interesting, and the rest like the sigs you mentioned; Harris, Mckagan, Waters are all just stock instruments with cosmetic changes.

Sorry, not true. Waters has quarter pounder pickups, and a brass nut. Those are more than just cosmetic.

I think a signature bass would only be worthwhile if it was set up EXACTLY the same as the famous person in question used theirs i.e. they were directly involved in design and the each bass is handmade to those specs EXACTLY.
(have any signature basses had this treatment?)

As such i think stock basses with just cosmetic changes are not worth any extra as signature basses

I'd like to see these signature basses:


Fender Anthony Jackson signature jazz bass:

Thte McKagan sig had quite a few changes other than cosmetics... No top routing that a pickgaurd could cover, a P/J set up, three-way pup switch and TBX tone pot.


I want a black U.S/Japan made McKagan and Geddy's red Jazz.

the Mckagan is essentially just a reissue of a power jazz special from 80's. I'm not knocking the bass or anything, I never played one so I don't know how it is but theres nothing really all that "signature" about it.

Leland Sklar signature P-bass!

i belive thats incorrect. the mckagan has a quarter pounder in the jazz pickup and i belive the harris has a BadAss 2 or 3 bridge

Duff' basses have an SD Hot Stack in the bridge spot, instead of a stock J Special J pup. They also use Ash bodies instead of Basswood like on the original J specials. The McKagan sig has an Alder body, but the electronics make up for that difference, with a much larger impact on tone than the wood difference.

And that wasn't relevant, as the Jazz Specials aren't made any more, and the argument was that it was just a P with a few changes.

squier white vintage modified p bass and slap a maple neck on it easy...

And then of course you'd have to break said neck in half
