Official: Fender Roger Waters P-Bass!!!

[Bass-Adrenaline]

O man, a black Precision, NO WAY!...........

 

[slopeshoulder]

I think that's pretty cool, dig the hardware...but, I thought he had a '75...headstock spaghetti logo?

HA! Second post and already these marketers are called on screwing up the details. Typical.

 

[nattiep]

What's with the black hardware on the body?

Also, the only other things I see different are a 1.75 nut width and a brass nut.

Fender just made my day.

Don't care if it's not faithful to Waters' P, I'm GASing badly right now...

I'd like it more with regular P pickups/chrome bridge and knobs, but I didn't see any pictures of Roger's bass in this new The Wall tour... maybe this is his signature bass for this tour I guess? And I think he is supposed to say OK or not to a sig model, if I recall correctly Andy Summers refused a Fender sig once in the past...

Good point.

Well it looks deadly and i now want a P with that look regardless of specs. I like the single ply guard and all.

This had me all excited until I saw it. I was hoping for an accurate, custom shop relic'ed '71 or something. Or at least one that looked like it was from the 70's.

My own black/maple 79 P seems more Roger Waters than this one to me. But maybe I'm not well up on his P bass.

I like it. I don't know squat about Roger's actual basses, but I like that fact that it's somewhat unique and affordable.

Good enough argument to make me buy this baby! But let's see how much expensive they'll get here in Brazil...

Yawn

The mixed hardware is killing me. Carpet doesn't match the drapes.

 

[giacomini]

If someone stumbles by the Roger Waters wikipedia entry, notice that I added a note about it in "Equipment and instruments". I did not put a reference because I don't know how to.

I'm pretty disappointed with it. I was hoping for a CS relic.

I think you'd be better off buying a MiM and slapping a black 3ply on it, the quarter pounder too if you dig it...

It would probably be much cheaper as well.

I just don't get what makes it worth almost a grand.

 

[LutherHeggs00]

In which country is it manufactured?

 

[thumpbass1]

I'm sure you can still find a few decent enough, black with black guard and maple neck, mid to late 70's P-Basses out there for about the same coin Fender wants for this thing. I'm so glad I found my black with, black guard, maple neck, 78 P-Bass back in 92 when they were still pawn shop bargains. Sorry; but while I'm a fan of Roger Waters , this signature model ain't making me too excited.

 

[Pearldiver]

Only Precision Bass I will ever buy
