THAT'S some sad road rash.
I wouldn't have that bass even if it somehow advanced the cause of world peace.

Road worn, or just a mess?

A real mess. Looks like the guy just took a belt sander to it. I'm not a big fan of roadworn stuff anyway, but that just looks stupid.
This is one case where it's not the bass that needs to be slapped.
It doesn't state anywhere in the ADVERTISEMENT that it's a Fender. In the ad, they DO state that there is a new decal, which would imply that it didn't originally say Fender on it.
I'm going to try this with my car. I'll call it roadworn and see if I can get some sucker to pay twice what it's worth. Hey, do you really want to spend the time and effort to drive 200,000 miles?

- I like 5, 8, 10, and 12 string basses
I'd have to agree since that body looks like it's been filled with Bondo, I've seen better body work on the rocker panels of 2003 Hyundai Accents.
This reminds me of when new "worn" jeans were the big thing... twice the price for jeans someone else purposely shredded up. Please tell me this trend hasn't made it's way to instruments..
I know they were trying to go for a natural worn look, but they just made it look like a crappy cowhide paint/sand job. And the way they placed the "natural" wear spots make it look like someone put it down, grabbed it by the horns, and rubbed up against it over a long period of time. Gives "well loved" bass a whole new meaning....

My first thought as well. Oh look, someone got a new orbital sander and tried it out on a bass!
I don't see what all the fuss is about.
The only difference between that bass and a lot of the basses put together around here is the paint work.
Same crappy cheap body,neck and hardware. And of course the fake decal.
It's just a bad paint job folks
