Very Nice,is it a custom ordered from Fender?

I knew it was going to look great but when I opened the case and saw it it floored me!

I just can't get over how fantastic it looks- pictures can't do it justice.

May hands were actually shaking when I picked it up.

After a good preliminary onceover, the neck, fretwork and paint all looks/feels great- very happy here.

Don't you just love the aged white pearloid pickguard against the LPB- and the rosewood neck WOW!

Thank you Fender for getting it to me in only 38 days- great job!

I think I'm good with as far as GAS goes.

Sounds and feels great- what else would you expect!

Gorgeous bass! It makes me curious, though. LPB isn't a poly colour offered on American Standard Fenders. So, are they bringing LPB bodies over from Ensenada, or are they doing special runs where they paint these bodies? It was my understanding that all of the parts on the ADE basses were available on other American Fender models. If that's the case, LPB doesn't make sense...so where are they getting them??

Maybe Stratosphere?

Nice Dude!
I'm glad it worked out for you. Now go play that bad boy!

Absolutely gorgeous

 

[crucislancer]

Awesome bass! Totally dig the color.

 

[59Bassman]

Dang. I've been highly critical of the ADE in the past, but if they were to offer this color with a P 5 string I'd be moved to get one. Do it with the option of adding a J pickup and I'd commit vile atrocities to get one.

Amazing bass, LPB may be my favorite custom color of all time.

 

[rmayer]

Gorgeous bass. The LPB is amazing by itself but the dark rosewood really puts the finishing touch on it. Enjoy it! Now if Fender only offered chambered bodies...

Wow! VERY nice! Except for the rosewood fretboard, that has been my dream P-bass for some time. Love that LPB!

 

[progrmr]

NICE bass OP - very nice.

 

[BigBadaBoom]

Thats a stunner right there -WOWZA!!

 

[4andnomore]

Very nice! Unique but understated. Good call on that pick guard. I am excited for you!

 

[The Chuck]

Nice! Was that covergirl straight off the rack, or did you go through the design experience for it?

It was ordered from the Design website.

Looks it. That is one stunning bass.

 

[The Chuck]

Lets see, a 410 on top of a milk crate on a dolly with a lava lamp

HA! Never really thought about that- it is pretty sturdy though.

Special order through the Fender Design Experience webs site.

You missed my point...

 

[crucislancer]

You missed my point...

String-thru body on his bass, so my take is that they painted it in Corona.

Right...but why is there no upcharge for it if they're shooting a colour solely for this series? No other US gets a poly LPB finish...the Ensenada MIM Standards do, though.

Hasn't he heard that you can't mix 4x10's with milk crates?

That bass is dreamy...totally foxy. Just when I thought I could not GAS again.....UURRRPPPP!!!!
