Stray followed me home Saturday night...

Just one question: Is this the Deluxe Dimension or the American Deluxe Dimension?
I just might go to GC Friday and check them out (the natural one is really nice) also, I've read that this bass sounds great and the neck has a satin finish.
Not to mention, I was told GC is giving customers two months to pay for layaway...though I hope to bring one home before that if I really like it.

After the debacle that was the boner bass, may I introduce the anti boner bass.

Yeah, it looks like Fender's taking a page from the Musicman design book... and that's a good thing.

I think it looks kind of cool. Congrats on the new toy.

This is the deluxe dimension. My guitarist who is anti MIM basses even was impressed. THAT says a lot.

What is a boner bass? Do I dare ask??

Your basses don't get boners? You must be doing it wrong.

More appropriately called the Longhorn, Fender made these in the 90s for a few years. Exaggerated upper horn, in contrast to your new Fender body shape which de-emphasizes the horns.

Now that is odd. I have never seen that before or maybe I have and didn't notice. How weird. Thanks!!!

I got to try one last Saturday and was pleasantly surprised with its sound. I'd like to hear the am deluxe version with the pick up switches. Glad fender tried something new. Enjoy

Take that pick guard off it!

Well, I went to my local GC but they only had the Modern Player Dimension which I tried out (played "Blue Turk" by Alice Cooper...gotta love Dennis Dunaway and I thought they didn't hear that one too often) and I really liked the bass. Sounded good and easily louder than another active bass I tried, and I liked the candy apple red, but just not as much as the natural finish.
They should be getting the Deluxe Dimension in soon, though.
One weird thing...the American Deluxe has the scarfed neck joint and the easy-access wheeled truss rod and so does the Modern Player. I wonder why the Deluxe Dimension doesn't.

Be aware that the MP Dimension has a totally different pickup than the Deluxe or American Deluxe. Not really the same bass at all except for the styling.
