Fender Pawn Shop Basses Finally!

[Delberthot]

Didn't Fender tell Gibson to change the original Thunderbird cos it looked too much like their basses?

Fast forward 40 odd years, will we see an actual "Gibson Lawsuit" as opposed to that fake one everyone goes on about in Matsumoku land (otherwise known as Egay) for Fender copying the design that they created to get around the original thunderbird looking like one of their basses? (albeit in the distance, on a foggy night with grit in your eye)

Arent the jags jazz neck anyway?
[/quote]That one looks wider than a J neck, looks like P width to me.

The shorter scale makes it look wider.

Anyone else clock that it's a 32" scale?
I wonder if they might be thinking of doing some more medium scale jobbys?
Apparently the Japanese 32" Scale Jazz and Aerodyne Basses are magical...

If only it was P/J. Love the reverse neck though.

Guitar note. Somebody pointed out to me that the volume control on that Prawnocaster is liable to be unintentionally adjusted on every strum.

It´s a medium scale and lefty.
I am a lefty and want a short/medium scale bass.

If the controls don´t bother me while playing I am buying one for sure.

Any idea about the price?

[throwoff]

Andertons got them for 611

Quite like the sounds on this vid, which surprised me....

Also....Why is in not neck diving either in the vid? Perhaps he was playing in a centrifuge or sumfink....

Think someone at Fender's been taking a bit of inspiration from the latest Reverend range...

[grenadilla]

The thumbwheels and switches are what makes a Jaguar special. The chrome is beautiful and it can send a flash signal of light to the audience. How about a Jaguar Bass III ? It would have 3 pickups and 2 thumbwheels for each pickup. [6 total]. The regular active/passive switch and a series switch to get a nice "triple bucker" sound. It might need 2 batteries.

Valid point brother.!

I sort of like it, but would only think of grabbing a lefty model and then reverse that. At £611 too pricing too.

Think they'll be significantly less than £611 in a few months - I love the Jag shape & prefer a 32" scale, so if I'm not tempted at that price then I can't see these flying out of the shops...

[cocco]

It's not even a 4 pinter, its disgusting, Although a squier supersonic bass would be amazing, with a p neck and twin Di Marzio model ps....... I've messed myself.

I quite like it , but wonder why they are saying its ithe porn shop range ! I have never seen anything like this in one of those shops that I have never been in !
