Clarky72 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 They've finally remembered that bass exists! A reverse jaguar with decent circuitry, yes please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 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..

Doctor J Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 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.

neepheid Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 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.

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!..

TRBboy Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 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......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
