Was there a point to this post other than to vent your spleen? I mean, who cares what the Fender Custom Shop is charging for something you didn't have any interest in buying in the first place?

Looks like the article has them swapped. The one that looks like cedar is labeled roasted ash, and vice versa.

On the bright side you don’t need to upgrade the bridge.

I found it interesting. It's a thing I read on the internet it entertained me. Seems to have had the same effect on a bunch of people.

It's really not any more sinister than that.

How good of a bass player does one need to be to justify the price tag?.

Lordy. I'd rather have a Wal and some change.

Exactly what I was thinking.
That's $16,000 Canadian, plus whatever markup and taxes for crossing the border? Nope.

I am about as Fender Fan-boi as it gets, but egads! Whiskey Tango Foxtrot are those for $12K?

Speaking of building fso's out of recycled wood, I actually just finished a p bass made from a huge slab of sapele that was once my friends old kitchen island.

Street wood?

I didn't know streets were made of wood.

It “emits a mesmerizing fragrance known for its calming effects. The thin finish applied allows the natural aroma to permeate through the knots of the wood.”

I mean, they are definitely cool and I must admit I’d totally love to get a whiff of the $12K one.

I hope for your sake the 'street wood' doesn't hail from San Francisco.
