Fender Special Edition Noir Precision Bass

[Ghastly]

Woa… cool. Love the red accent/edging on the pick guard and decal, plus matching headstock.

Needs black hardware.

Agreed

[Neon Blues]

You reckon Frank Bello likes it?

 

[FenderB]

No it doesn't. Black & Chrome is Classic.

Yep.

 

[JimmyM]

I look much better with a Precision that's black and maple, and a black pickguard that's trimmed in white instead of red, but I do like this one, too. It's a little different.

I really like the red. It is something different from Fender.

I really like the red. It is something different from Fender.

Agreed. It makes it pop. That's the first thing I noticed.

 

[bordinco90]

I played one. The matte black is very nice. The neck was really too chunky for me but that's just personal taste. And it sounds like a p bass.

How wide is the nut?

 

[bordinco90]

Agreed. It makes it pop. That's the first thing I noticed.

Yeah I seen it and wanted to call sweetwater to send the jazz bass I just got back. Problem is, the Jazz bass plays so effortlessly.

 

[bassliner50]

Handsome bass. (Would look even better in front my belly.) Is that a red highlight around the PG?

 

[bordinco90]

Handsome bass. Wow.

Agreed.

 

[bordinco90]

BREAKING NEWS!!!!! They are now available at Sweetwater! They have 2 available.

 

[MMiller28]

The red on the pickguard ruins it for me. But to be fair, I don't do red anything, except wine.

 

[TemplesOfSyrinx]

Black hardware, LaBella black tape wounds are required. And an ebony neck.

 

[Mike Sorr]

Needs black hardware.

And a J pickup.

 

[Stranger Danger]

How wide is the nut?

1 5/8". Fairly thick front to back.

 

[Gianni "Orlandez" Orlati]

Where is my tort pickguard ??

 

[bordinco90]

1 5/8". Fairly thick front to back.

Nice...

So have we entered the "noir" age? Is this Fender's answer to the Rickenbacker 4003 Noir?

This may be a good time to build up the most awesome collection of black basses!
