New Fender series: MODERN PLAYER

[Korladis]

The Jag guitar looks really interesting.

The trans black Jazz does look really cool. I think the tele bass would look cool in that finish as well.

The Marauder guitar and the Jag bass are giving me GAS but I will not spend that kind of money on an Asian built Fender. They quit selling Squier branded acoustics a while ago, I can see these replacing the Squier brand. What a marketing move! Now people won't have to make fake Fender decals to put on their Squiers! Just scratch off the Made in China part of it and say its reliced.

Now this is giving me GAS

If you were Fender and found it cheaper to build instruments in China, how long would you keep your Mexican factory? I think they would be competing against themselves.

I'm wanting the sunburst jazz to sit next to my blacktop jazz

 

[PhR]

idk understand why they'd even bother releasing something like this.. it's just the "Blacktop P" on a jazz body.

No, this has the pickup in Jazz positions, so it's more like a Blacktop Jazz without P-pickups.

Now this is giving me GAS

I could see a 5 string version of that being a good gigging tool!

Already got a '74 TELECASTER Bass...not a "Tele Bass". Still putting it back together after stripping it to natural.

And it's not a "P-Bass" or a "J-Bass" they're Precision or Jazz.

So put the picks away and start doing it right...that means fingers, and please use the proper terminology.

This post is full of win. Allsome!

I look forward to picking up a used P in a year or so. BSB looks hot!

Gimme a break, dude.

Ha, that's classic, too bad I don't sig TB'ers posts.

It's 1974, not '74.

yo MiC, this is taken from your user profile:

Current Setup:
Frankenstein Jazz...Ampeg 4x10"+18"...reconditioning a '73 Tele Bass I've had for a while. Also a '74 V4B setup.

Gosh, full of contradictions.

 

[j-raj]

...

beat me to it.

 

[MJ_Sotti]

Got me there. Had I remembered, would have cleaned that up. I'll put up a pic when I'm done with it...if I ever find a replacement humbucker.

 

[Legattabass]

Oh god, that BSB Telecaster Bass is killing me. Think of all the mods that could be done. Put a P pickup in between those two monsters and it would be astoundingly versatile. GAS. Incredible GAS.

That thick neck tint reminds me of the CV. They must have found that particular Chinese plant to be worthy of partnering with. REALLY worthy, since every foray into China creates a massive, massive, massive future knockoff risk. I wonder if this is the beginning of the end of their Mexican line?

...Tye Zamora has a pretty interesting Fender custom:

"...currently residing in the 'Where Are They Now?' file..."

Never let an opportunity to use a Spinal Tap reference go to waste.

 

[Fresh Eddie]

That is the most interesting Fender Ive ever laid eyes on...almost a little erie.. like the twilight zone

If he were not famous and he tried to sell it on Ebay, the thread about how fake the bass is would be seventeen pages long!
