Fender "Cabronita" P Bass

[JamesBass]

So Fender have released a Cabronita P bass and I gotta say it looks lovely! I'm eagerly awaiting finding one to have a little play on! Anyone else taken by the Cabronita style?

Rosewood fretboard and trans blonde finish?
Yes please!

[Jono Bolton]

This came up on my instagram feed yesterday, it's not bad but I think the high mass bridge looks awfully out of character from the rest of the bass

I think there are just two options at the minute, sunburst and trans red with a maple neck

Not that fussed by the looks, nothing really new there, but I love the sounds on that clip. And they`re £474 retail at present.

SAVE THE TREES!!!

I like it too, wouldn't buy it blind though.

[dave_bass5]

Horrible looking bass IMO, but I do like the tone.

[cocco]

Having watched the video I think I'm in love, does it seem a little thin to anyone else though?

[yepmop]

I actually quite like it, especially the tone.

[cocco]

Yup, I want it. I definitely want it. I'd be all over trading the pickup out for a TV Jones Thundertron though.

If there a white one, I could well be all over this.

I do like them, that's why I had this built...



Here's the build thread if you are interested..

Yep, my thoughts exactly.

[Cosmo Valdemar]

I'm sure that clip was a lot longer yesterday..

[Billy Apple]

Yesterday I'd not taken in how wrong the bridge looks. It's like they've made something really cool, then drawn a cock on it.

[JamesBass]

Gotta agree with most people in here, not a fan of that bridge, so if I brought one I'd change that. I'd personally love a slab bodied olympic white with a tort pickguard and I'd want the other style head stock.

Billy your custom is absolutely lovely! Looks beautiful!

Thanks Jim [size=4] [/size]

[AndyTravis]

I'm going candy apple red; I will be changing the bridge though!

[merello]

Lovely!

[lou24d53]

Not normally a fan of red basses, but really liking the look of the CAR as well.
However ditto the bridge comments.

[warwickhunt]

Is the slight fuzz/distortion a characteristic of the pup or is it the recording/amp used?
