Conan Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) [quote name='project_c' timestamp='1338167966' post='1670399'] i love black and maple, i love dots, i love blocks, couldn't care less either way as long as it sounds good..... get your sick bags ready, here's a pic of my jazz bass [/quote] That is stunning!! What is the extra knob for? Is it a J-Retro? Edited August 4, 2012 by Conan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsgbass Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I never cared for the Maple with black blocks. I do like a Baked Maple with Pearl inlays however. [IMG]http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/u426/roadrex/564Nc.jpg[/IMG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I haven't had so many people coming up to me after a gig to tell me how nice they thought my bass was ever in the past 25 years as I have since buying the green machine. [IMG]http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad111/Delberthot/FSR-PbassActiveSp_sfg.jpg[/IMG] No picture I've seen online of these does it justice. I really must take some of my own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delberthot Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 That's just the plastic thingy that tells you what everything does [IMG]http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad111/Delberthot/Fender%20FSR%20Precision/DSC01484Large.jpg[/IMG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_bass5 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 [quote name='Bassman Sam' timestamp='1338074417' post='1669432'] I'm with you Clarky, it hurts my eyes. Wastes a good maple neck. IMHO, E I E I O etc. [/quote] Agree with that. I love blocks but not on a maple fretboard, no matter what colour they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deefer_dog Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I love the maple/block look. then again, I love maple boards full stop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I'm really in to black strings on a maple neck at the moment but still not a lot of love for the black blocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kees_SoS Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 (edited) Black blocks don't bother me so much; it's the fugly smaller logo on late-'70s Fenders I really disapprove of. Thank God they're using the larger late-'60s/early-to-mid-'70s logo on the new Fenders posted in this thread ;-) Edited September 4, 2012 by Kees_SoS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mckendrick Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1338076580' post='1669460'] Maple with black blocks looks cheap. Rosewood with pearl blocks looks classic. [/quote] ....is the correct answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conan Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I wish Fender did a maple neck with no inlays at all. [i]That[/i] would be classy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
