Was a bit surprised at the price tag. Was honestly expecting sub-$100.

NO! For it's ugly and one can throw a 7'000$ outta window as well.It looks like a tee shirt I had in 1982.

That thing has been haunting my web browsing for months, it just popped up:
By my math you could get 38 1/2 Super Ferrite equipped Peavey Foundations for that same amount of money. Personally I’d stick with the Foundations.
This is just another example of the companies being out of touch with musicians. This video explains how Gibson lost touch. Looks like Fender is following suit with stuff like this. Right around the 15 minute point the video hits the mark on these extreme reaches. I think they are dead on, that is what custom shops are for.
(by the way, back in the early 80's I used to roller blade around the lighthouse and down to the town center and hit the French bakery for a coffee. Before the earthquake. Now I live on a bay where you can go inthe water without wetsuit...

But my dad bought a hot rodded van conversion with something like that on the side with bubble windows
The price for me would be a no, flat out.
I like the custom body paint, just for the fact it's very different. But as has been said I'd prefer the city name off of it. I'd probably put a plain white guard on it to offset the "wild" paint scheme.
But again, not at that price.

I loved it. One of these days I'll buy an inexpensive bass just to have it painted this way.
Thats a negative from me big dawg.
For that Money I could buy breast implants.....Or a really nice custom Carl Thompson....

Nope.
Not a chance. First, no way I'm spending that much on a bass anytime in the near future. Second, even if I were to do so, it sure wouldn't be a Fender, and definitely not THAT Fender.
If I had that kind of money to spend on a bass, I would probably spend it on something else, but (lose the tug bar and) I love the look. I love lighthouses and know that particular lighthouse and beach well. As others have noted, even if graphics aren't your thing, just look at that masterful transition from headstock to fingerboard. I would be a bit surprised at the hate if this wasn't the internet, but it most definitely is 
Ya know, this may sound crazy, but if you put a tort guard on it, it would probably look awesome.
