HAHAHA!!!! I just noticed that. Its special from Fender's Custom ShopWhere can i get a control plate with a picture of a bare foot on it? Is that a custom item?
Unfortunately, with Poly finishes these days, it's unlikely to wear out like that. Poly is a lot harder, and one of the big reasons companies switched to Poly is specifically because they DON'T wear out like that.I seriously cannot wait to buy a new fender jazz and have it look all naturally worn like that one...
I know they have the roadworn series, but it's just not the same as having a NEW bass and in 20 years being beautifully used by YOUR body.
Not here, not yet anyway...I need a job first. I've got a 59 Custom Shop P-bass relic in Oly White on my radar...What, no more?
Time to wheel out the '63 again
