Noisyjon Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Very nice! Not my cup of tea with the Jazz width neck but what a looker!

Clarky Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) It is a bit pretty for sure. I think a certain personoftyne may like this one! Shudder to think what Fender will charge for it, mind. Edit: MRSP is $4200, which is about £2600-2700.

wateroftyne Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 In fact, the more I look at it, the more I just have to have one. Damn you for posting it - I'd almost forgotten about it. The thing is, Badass aside, this is EXACTLY what I would have come up with had Fender ever asked me to do a signature model (which happens a lot in my dreams). It's uncanny.

paul h Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 It's damn close to my dream bass too. Except I would dump the J and have it in CAR with a matching headstock and a mint plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiOgon Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Yes it's very pretty but could be better - without the Jazz Pup & Jazz neck - it'd be beautiful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezzaboy Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 So let`s get this right. Most of you like it apart from the Jazz neck, the Jazz pup, the colour, the badass, the price and the scratchplate. But apart from that, we love it! Another BC winner!!

DHowardAir Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) Trust me, THIS has GOT to be where Fender got the idea to make this bass. I contacted them 2 years ago and suggested they consider releasing the Fender "Carl Radle" Tribute Precision Bass, but they acted as though they were not interested at that time. Remove that Jazz pickup and THIS is what they are marketing here. Not a doubt in my mind: [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=572174&highlight=fender+carl+radle"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.p...nder+carl+radle[/url] I have to say though that it sure looks like one sweet axe!

The Burpster Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 However close it is/isnt to your dream bass, I'll bet there will still be a Friday afternoon one that is more like a donkey than a stallion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Howard Tulsa, Oklahoma #1 Fan of the late Carl Radle[/quote] Hello Dan! Carl's bass is a beauty, but between the J pup, badass and lack of glittery headstock, it doesn't have much else in common with the new CS... I think a bass with the above spec has been on the wish-list of many players for a while now. Edited January 14, 2011 by wateroftyne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I must confess that big black headstock logo would be my default logo of choice. And yeah, overall it is thumbs up from me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
