Neither,its a parts bass.Its basically fender, the neck is a very rare made by fender and branded on the back of the headstock, the neck was sold in limited quantities for people with vintage instruments that suffered breaks. All the parts are fender,mint guard, cts pots, 62 reissue pickup, fener vintage reverse tuners, vintage threaded bridge, thumbrest and strap button on the headstock. Basically its a 62 reissue but the body is warmoth and finished in nitro fiesta red , the neck is nitro as well.
Its set up with flats and this bass plays better then any fender p i have owned or played including custom shop models and this only cost me about 600$. I have been told the neck alone is worth 400-500$
oh and i do have a CV but its sonic blue

It's very pretty. It just looked so much like one of the new Fiesta Red CV's that I had to ask.
Thanks
I have yet to see the new CV's finish i want to compare it to mine, mine almost looks pink at times.
BC Rich NJ Neck-Thru Series Mockingbird. This is by far my favorite among my basses.
Exotic Classic Series Zombie 5 string. I really like how this bass plays... BUT... I've had issues with the bottom points cracking entirely too easily. It seems like the slightest bump will crack the wood and I'm getting a little tired of having to glue it back together. Also, I'm not really feeling the stock pickups and I haven't gotten around to replacing them yet.
This is my "nostalgia" bass, my NJ Neck-Thru Series Warlock. I bought it in 2001 on a whim and it quickly became my "go to" bass, ending my love affair with Ibanez Soundgear basses. I've used it on almost everything I've recorded since '01, aside from the two Afterlight studio sessions I've done, and I have used it (at least as a backup) for every show I've played in the last 9 years. It plays almost exactly the same as my Mockingbird but the tone isn't quite as good, IMO.

when i seen the mocking bird i almost cried
Love the Fish.How's that Ibanez play? I've never seen one to try out.
Ibby sorta plays not all that great but I think mine's messed up. It has a wide neck (which I don't mind) but also has a sharp binding. The Yamaha is my main bass right now & I just haven't taken the time to have the Ibby looked at. I got it on clearance for $229 so buyer beware, I guess.
From our very own Mr. Tom Clement: Piezo trio.
Slim mahogany fretless 5 with a bubinga top.
Big six fretless with exhibition grade walnut top and back over a swamp ash core.
6.5 pound "Hollow Jon" fretless 5 in maple over swamp. Fingerboard is pale moon ebony.

I've also got a Fender Sting Bass but this is a red metallic epiphone thunderbird with seymour duncan ssb4s,hipshot ultralights, and a sidejack.
