OMG! Fender CS is the best!

[Kenton]

I like the bass but for 6 grand id rather get a custom body made the same as it and a fender J neck buy a Rickenbacker 4003 and buy and Ampeg Svt and would prob still have change to go get drunk. Come on Fender you no this would make an awesome retail bass sort your self's out.

 

[Pilgrim]

I'm just stunned....$6K??????

I buy cars for less.

 

[Chowderboots]

Christ that is beautiful. But yeah. Cheaper, gents. Mucho points for originality. That thing has class!

At Summer NAMM in Nashville 08 I snagged this photo at the Fender display.

... Seems like their answer to the Lakland Decade?

It could probably buy me the neck from your LPB '60s P Bass, if you were feeling generous .

I've recently seen 60's LPB P-basses going for less than this new Fender.

I dig it but not for $6,000. The CS has been a bit sparse too of late with their product line. I got a NOS 59 P-bass last year from the CS and just in time -- it was discontinued this year. I suspect the reason they've cut back is the economy.

Think about what $6,000 can buy you, then take a look at that $6,000 Fender bass.

thinking...

Ok, a nice USA Spector, and a pretty loud rig...that telelotto bass picture is starting to get blurry in my mind

 

[edbass]

$6K of mud. I'll pass. Dig the color though.

I'll bet that bridge pup would brighten the tone up over a standard Tele bass.

I really really wish fender would make a non-CS American Version of this in all those vintage colours. I'd buy it immediately.

+1
Same bass in "American Standard" quality for about $1500, and I would probably have another MIA Fender in my arsenal.

 

[denchiq]

Yeah but! It wouldn't be as nice or have the Fender CS LOGO

I'm sure I could convince someone to put a logo on it...lol.

or make a "better thanFENDER CS" logo

 

[RAM]

That seems to be a bit much for a CS...IIRC, Master Built basses sell for around that range, but not your "standard" CS basses....

 

[Pilgrim]

$6000 would buy all of the 8 basses I play, plus the cabs and heads I own.

 

[RandomMisfit]

looks great, but...
(jumping on bandwagon) $6000 got me 12 months of rent last year. lol

ditto here

I've recently seen 60's LPB P-basses going for less than this new Fender.

Really? It wasn't mine was it ? I've just sold this "1961" LPB P Bass for about $2,000 ...

OK, it was only a Fender CS model.

 

[Anonymous Guy]

I wonder if they used the same exact pickups from the Squier Telebass, or if the CS winded the reissues themselves.

 

[The_Owl]

NOS with a BadAss bridge? (or are my eyes deceiving me?)

Nope! Definitely a Badass II .

 

[schnigges]

*looks at pics*...

*looks at specs*...

okay, nothing special but ok...

*looks at price*

WHOOOT?

 

[denchiq]

Ok, so I have 2 Lakland 55-94s an Ampeg tube pre combo, a couple Marshall combos, so if I sold all of it and then added some...












...you kidding me?!!

 

[nicfargo]

for those wondering, exact same PUP as in the squier TB (you can purchase them for $89). I'm ordering a 2nd one, making a custom pick guard, and possibly going to repaint the body shell pink Gonna be sweet!
