such Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 (edited) I don't think I care for this particular player, or that I'm interested in hearing his band - but this bass looks sexy, Steve Harris meets Marcus Miller, would just swap that single pot for a Stellartone Tonestyler [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3ynhcgxgzo[/media] I'm pretty sure I see a BadAss there, while Fender's website mentions the typical Classic Vibe bridge. I wish they would come up with a Classic Vibe standard Jazz with a maple fingerboard, those block and bindings wouldn't hurt either...

Musicman20 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Oh my god! A Strung Out signature bass! I can't believe they have been noticed by a major company. I grew up listening to this band....saw them live about 15 years ago and I still rate them. Very very fast and technical stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jezzaboy Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 £259 at Andertons and due in stock the 12th of this month. Looks nice. Fender`s artist department are working overtime this weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 (edited) Looks like a Badass in the video, but other pics show a standard CV high mass bridge with brass saddles. The pickup has massive pole pieces like an SPB-3 Quarter Pounder though, and there's no tone control! http://media.fmicdirect.com/squier/images/products/guitars/0301084505_frt_wlg_001.jpg I prefer the look of the Matt Freeman model though.

Cosmo Valdemar Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I've never heard of Chris Aiken, I assumed we would be discussing another Pete Wentz. I was wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibody Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Saw this the other day. Looks nice, agree about the Matt Freeman though. Wouldn't mind both to be fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mog Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Nice to see something unusual coming out. I reckon its gonna be a big seller due to the aesthetics alone (it has similar appeal to the VMJ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkstrike Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I like it, I'd prefer black blocks and binding, as they'd stand out on the mape more, but the pearl/white ones look quite good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absolutpepper Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I think it looks great. Been after a P for a while so might have to give this one a whirl when I get a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bh2 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) Like the maple board with blocks, don't like the mirror with single pot. Would be great with a conventional pearl guard, it really would. Hate badass so would have to swap that out also... some proper fender machines... done! Edited May 2, 2014 by bh2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwan Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Are these "Classic Vibe" in the same way the James Johnston sig is basically a cv jazz? Never really followed the difference between the cv and vm series'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
