Got lucky in the span of a month to pick up these two gorgeous Fender Artisan Basses. I believe these were originally made for the 30th anniversary of the Custom shop.

The older of the two is from 2018. It is a 2017 Artisan Pomo Bass FMT Prescision Bass in Chocolate Fade.

It is a roasted ash body with flamed maple AAA top. Roasted Maple Neck with an AAA rosewood fingerboard with compounded radius of 9.5 to 16" on a 60s J bass "U" Jazz Bass neck.It has a aluminum anodized pickguard and sports HW 62 P Bass Pickup. Unfortunately, she spent some time at guitar center who put two small dings in her back.

The younger twin is from 2023 and is an Artisan Pomo Bass P/J FMT NOS in Sapphire Blue Transparent.

It is a roasted ash body with flamed maple AAA top. It has a birdseye maple AAA neck with an AAA Rosewood fingerboard with a compound radius of 9.5 to 16" on a 60 P-bass oval "C" Jazz Bass neck. It has a gold anodized aluminum pickguard and sports a HW 62 Jazz Bass Pickup and a HW J Bass Lead.

Both have the RSD Deluxe Bridge

They are simply stunning and sound amazing.
