When mere words fail...Fender Custom Shop

I like them both.
Sure it's a LOT of money for a simple P bass and way out of reach for most people but FCS doesn't build instruments for most of us.
I'm happy for those who can afford them.

I have no feeling for the unfinished wood look on Fender Shaped Objects. Don't hate me. They both look like they need color.
enjoying the rage and anger posts , keep'em flying fella's lol

Clearly these are for a certain type of collector. I wouldn't be surprised if they go to an investor and never see the light of day again.
In 50 years, someone's kids may look at it and wonder what to do with it.

I'd bet every special custom shop instrument they are releasing in all categories, when sold by original buyer, will resell for more than original buying price...all the hotwheels and movie themed ones being release are all 4x what these particular ones cost....
It depends on when they try and sell it - or if they just pass away and pass it on to their kids as part of the estate. The movie-themed stuff is a bit different because there's a merchandise/branding license associated with it. This is quite different.
That was exactly what I was going to say!
It's funny how " sustainable" and "repurposed" usually increases the price of anything those words are attached to.
Two overpriced slab body basses with what looks like a 70s era Minwax “hippy refinish.”
Seems like a lame attempt to do a riff in Healdsburg Guitar’s The Tree: The Four Elements series of their $100K instruments Their whole marketing strategy revolves around the story about the tree they’re using for the wood plus a whole lot of mystical mumbo ad copy.
