New Fender Bass?

Binding, check.
Original P bass headstock, check.
String thru, check.
Relic, check.
Modded single pickup in sweet spot, check.
No top horn? What the???

 

sounds great, looks terrible. costly, waiting for the Squier...

 

ooooooohhh... razor sharp binding to dent my forearm!!! (PASS)

Bridge and pickup look cool though

Too bad they threw basic design principles out the window...

 

Doesn’t Abuelo mean grandfather?

 

I really hope they make this a regular model. I love the shape.

 

I like everything about it except that horrible color.
Now, if they'd painted it the same color as that guy's hair...
Other than that, nice tone variety...the best-sounding Fender I've heard lately. I like what he does with Blackbird.

Best thing about it?
The Fender detractors can't say "What, another take on the Precision/Jazz bass?"

 

I think it's an attractive looking bass.
However... sharp binding, and it LOOKS like a neckdive extravaganza. I'll wait until I actually get my hands on one before I pass final judgement... buuuut... I'm highly skeptical.

 

Yes I hate 3 tone burst with a passion. Anything else please

 

I think it's nice that they're stepped out a little bit. Of course, none of us will buy it because (a) it's a CS model and probably costs more than one of those snazzy Buick SUVs and (b) it's not a Precision or Jazz.

It reminds me of something. Didn't Ibanez have a body shape vaguely like that?

 

Guild Bi-Sonic pickup copy?

Curtis Novak's apparently

I'd roll wit it

 

I would have to be paid a huge amount of money to play that bass! It looks absolutely awful to me.

 

Is it available in anything besides SB? Not black, either. I'd like a banana yellow one, please!

 

More:

 

I'm into everything this bass does, except for the unergonomic shape...

Oh, and it seems like it would be better off being short scale.

 

Don't like it. Ugly, and it has that crappy semihollow sort of tone. Cool that Fender is trying something "new", but I can't see this lasting long.

 

Not my bag but I’m happy they’re trying something new. I could see it selling a few if they keep it around $1200 tops.

I still don’t understand why relic is a thing though.

 

I like it, better than another variation on the same thing (thats getting pretty old). Especially with a Bisonic, Id try this thing out
