Err I just ended up designing the basses I already own....doh

[bubinga5]

they need a few more (Fender) body colour options imo, but good call fender, a step in the right direction. you can get your neck plate personalised also. and do remember this is not the Custom Shop, but also i do wonder what the cost would be.?


also like the fact they will put a Jazz neck on a P Bass.

It's a bit limited though, I can't put MM humbuckers on a Jazz!

i was a jazz bass. now I'm more of a double bass.

[Cat Burrito]

A shame they don't have an option for tele basses but good fun all the same.

[bubinga5]

from what i have heard, its a growing concept depending on how popular it will become.

[madshadows]

Great fun

[steve-bbb]

Didn't they just copy this from sandberg?

[lojo]

Glad there is no sonic blue option so I'm not tempted

Am I being blind? Where's the buy button?

The use of the word Design has made me die a little inside.

You've got to stop trying to use Basschat as an internet dating site, Ian. Trust me, it doesn't work.


I just went through the process on the web site and ended up with... a stock American Standard Jazz Bass in Olympic White. A lovely bass for sure, but unfortunately, when I went through the process of actually trying to buy that exact bass in real life, I gave up after the first five ( yes, five) examples that Fender sent me were defective or substandard in one way or another. Maybe Fender should rename it the American Substandard range? Never mind giving people the ability to design their own bass, Fender should concentrate a bit more on how they themselves are making them .

Works for me. I even get a price and the option to buy it and free coffee.

Peavey used to do this with their Cirrus custom shop, wasted far too many hours on that!

Or a horrible skinny neck & an ugly lopsided body depending on your viewpoint.....

[Mornats]

Is it just me or could I only choose combinations that match their current range of basses? More choice of colours would be brilliant I think.

[roonjuice]

where is the block neck option??

[roonjuice]

and trans finish.....
