Link should be to Fender Active Deluxe Precision sea foam green fsr, possibly the longest named bass on the planet. If Koernig...................made basses eh :lol: .
Cant figure out how to get the photos up but link should work.
Can't see any comments on here, but there are 3 pages and growing on Talkbass.
Mine arrives on Friday (I'm such a Sheehan wannabe tart) so watch the sale section next Wednesday :lol: .

Yup, MIM, cheaper by far than the road worn Mexicans though. Mixed reviews on Talkbass, but some of the SE Mexicans are considered to be very well made now (Reggie Hamilton for example).
Fact is new prices have risen dramatically from most places in the last 18 months, VAT increase, fuel price rises all affecting every stage of the process. One superb Japanese 75 jazz re-issue would have cost about £1000 to bring in 2 years ago, now it's almost £1300. American Fenders have probably been affected slightly less price wise than most. They are really good value now, imo.
Agree with you about the woofer but guess plenty of tone options with active. Biggest advantage over the Yamaha are the neck dimensions, the Attitudes are really wide and a struggle for me.
Apparently only 150 of this run are coming to EUROPE!
That scratchplate will be getting changed foor brown tortie if I keep it. Haven't bought a brand new bass for 11 years, kinda excited really.
Karl.

Knew there would be a thread somehere, obviously wrong search criteria. Or maybe I'm just dim and old :P
Quite a bit of hostility, hope I like it and don't need to sell it :lol:

I think that it`s going to be another "marmite bass." You will either love it or hate it. I`m sure if you don`t like it, you would get shot of it no probs.


Famous last words :D

Yeah, for me the most important part of any bass is the neck (and the looks, I'm a tart :P ) as I think most modern amplification can make any bass sound pretty damn good.
We'll see what the neck's like.
