The Few, the Proud, the Cowpokes. (official Fender Cowpoke club)

Hey,

I just noticed that those things have a 22 fret neck. Hmm, how are the necks on those things, closer to a p or a j?

 

Yee Ha!



1996

 

What's the going rate on these? There was one at a local pawn shop, not sure if it's still there, for $150 IIRC, pretty beat-up though (needs some electronic work, crack in the finish only [?] at the heel, etc), that the guy said he would sell for $100, and I said I'd think about it.

 

BUY IT! Not a whole lot of those out there, and they're worth a whole lot more than 100 clams, even if it does need a bit of work. Nice basses, too

You could probably flip it for a nice profit pretty easily.

 

may i ask why you guys call it a cowpoke?

 

Isn't it obvious?

 

not alarmingly no... Then again it's probably a yank thing that i won't understand...

that or i'm being incredibly dense!

 

Not sure of the year...

I'm really not seeing it! Nevermind

 

i don't get it either... unless they're talking about the pick guard looking like a spot on a cow

 

That "cowpoke" phrase was coined by my old friend Bovinehost over on the old Dudepit. He had one and thought the pickguard made the bass look like something a country western bassist might use.

Now ya know.

 

I too am clueless.. Looks like a Stu Hamm/Tele that brought over the Kubuki controls from the 90's

 

so what is the bass actually, like who makes it, and what does it usually go for?

It's a Fender Bass! Used to go for around $250-300 used. Not sure nowadays.

 

Man I had one of these...............You're right about the Kubicki controls. This is a Mexi Fender P Special from the mid nineties. 22 fret neck, slightly smaller body than a standard P. I really like the look of these basses and had no complaints about the playability.
