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

[Rip Topaz]

I have Cowpoke fever. I don't need one, but I've wanted one since the first time I laid eyes on one. When I have the cash in hand, I can't find one. When I stumble upon one one, I don't have cash. (Don't you hate when that happens?) Eventually I expect that the stars will line up and I'll get to join this club.

I feel your pain. One look at my other basses and you can tell that a cowpoke is in my future. My problem is the same, can't find one when I have the money, and when I don't, there's a dozen of them!!

And that Moon copy in blue turquoise is just gorgeous.

I sense a build in my future.

Wife needs to be told that when she wants shoes...or a day at the spa...

In her defense, I went on a bass buying spree earlier this year, and she tolerated it. I just gotta wait a few months before I can do it again.

I just don't ask anymore.

I have no choice. I made a deal with her after the last bass I bought.

The first bass I ever owned was a Cowpoke, got it from someone for $150. I decided to trade it to a friend of mine for a Behringer stack and a Squier jazz bass because I didn't understand the active electronics (I was really new to bass, lol). I wish I could find another one for a reasonable price now that I know what I'm doing.

Mine:

Picked it up in a trade for my Xoom tablet.

Just picked mine up today and stripped it down for mods. 1994 cowpoke, but I noticed no CNC hole under the pickguard, so I am guessing its an early one? Upgrading bridge, tuners, putting in Seymour Duncans and going passive as well as all black hardware. Will have some more photos up when it's completed.
Can I have a number please.

 

[brando28]

Is anyone still doing the numbers? Looks like the last number issued was #34 so if no one is doing them now,,,,,, shall I just take #35?

Some of these clubs have become self-service. Fnd a list of the 1st 34, cut 'n paste, then add yourself at the bottom.

I'm supposed to be doing it... if you're 35 by your account by all means take that number. I'll go through the list and confirm. if anybody else would like to step up and become the person in charge of the group that would be great... I don't actually have a cowpoke currently!

OK I'll take #35 for now. If you find it's not right, let me know the right number. Thanks.

Hi there,

Great to see a lot of love for Cowpokes here. I picked mine up a week ago (a Christmas present to myself) and I am absolutely delighted. I got it from a seller on the UK based BassChat site (thanks Mojobass!) for £260 with a Brass nut and a Schaller bridge. It sounds superb - the active pick ups make it really sing. It's been stripped down to the wood and finished beautifully - no nasties lurking under the paintwork or sander gouges here! It's a unique and classy looking instrument. It came without a scratchplate, but I was able to locate one from this very forum from the lovely Dinkbass - thanks man!
I couldn't be happier with it and why thay aren't still in production baffles me.

It looks like this:

She's a beauty! ...and do I get a number Mr Moderator, Sir?

Looks like I missed your request for a number...sorry!

Rushbo #35

Sorry Brando28...you're #36. I will compile and make one master list by the weekend.

Still hoping someone steps up to assume these duties...Rushbo asked in November of last year and I missed it!

 

[brando28]

Cheers, I will do it if no one else will, send me the list when you have it.
