Fender Pawn Shop Basses Finally!

[Clarky72]

They've finally remembered that bass exists!

A reverse jaguar with decent circuitry, yes please!

[TheGreek]

Surely there's something amiss in that photo..reverse Jag with twin Humbuckers?? That can't be a Fender - some imagination would be required for this and as we know Fender are about as imaginative as Porsche designers!!

I like it though..

Haha!!

[Doctor J]

Proving the draw-parts-from-a-bag-and-see-what-it-makes theory... new Fenders... a mish-mash of old Fenders...


I do like the reverse Jag though

That well is going to run dry some day, then they'll do Reverse Jag With Humbuckers Reissues, but we'll all know the first ones are the ones with mojo.

[Lozz196]

Looking at that Jag sends my OCD into overdrive

[neepheid]

Wow, that's even worse dusty end access than a Thunderbird. Never though I'd see that in a modern day bass, albeit a retro design. Wilfully perverse, not much thought gone in there. The result of a 5 minute "what if..." chat over a cup of coffee. Can't say I'm impressed.

[Clarky72]

I have mild gas looking at it... oh no...

[LukeFRC]

I think they have been looking at the ricky-copy-but-with two-humbuckers adverts on basschat

'orrid 'orrid 'orrid

[Hutton]

Musicmany, Upside downy, big bridgey kind of thingy. Nah.

Yeah, it's a really silly "design" if you ask me, it'll have horrendous neck dive and upper fret access is a joke.
I think Low End Bee's comments about using up parts is probably spot on.

Must try harder Fender...

On a side note though, that semi-hollow geetar, second from the left is lush!..

[Doctor J]

Trying harder will be when they re-release it in a couple of years with a [i]new[/i] colour, oooooooooooh, like goldflake mystical pixie blue, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

[Doctor J]

And a Jazz neck profile.

[charic]

I like it except for the reverse headstock

I shouldn't though so I apologise

Why do people go on about upper fret access.

I can get to 1-12 un hindered. Thats me covered.

I guess it's each to their own.
I like to go up a bit, or at least to have the option, especially when they're there.
They may as well stop the fingerboard at the 15th fret and paint the rest the same as the body...

[Clarky72]

Could be one the most marmite Fenders for a while by the look of this thread...

[charic]

[u][b]THE QUESTION[/b][/u]

Could this be the only fender that BRX would like? Find out next week on... Basschat

(Cue music from "soap")

[TRBboy]

I think it looks ace, but surely it is gonna neck-dive like a bitch! Nice to see something a bit different from Fender for a change. Twin 'buckers, mmmmmmmm.........

[brensabre79]

I think I'd have to get a left handed version and move the controls around. oh wait...

[thisnameistaken]

Looks terrible. I'd rather have one of those Eastwood Mosrite re-makes.

What's the point in them being there if you can't get at them?
