Left Foot Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 so, Im thinking that I should save up for a fender but I like od looks and scratch plate designs, anyway, does anyone know if these are copied or sold like the custom tele? I have a Hondo II with a single humbucker and it is crazy good, I just think this is my dream bass... Id love a natural finish one of these bad boys. Is this more likely going to be a project, or are these around on the market? http://www.musiciansfriend.com/bass/fender-custom-shop-telecaster-bass-n.o.s.

BruceBass3901 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Oh god... I want one! As long as it has a satin finish neck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceBass3901 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) I don't mean to alarm anyone, but this was available in red as well... The metallic teal is much nicer though Edited May 8, 2015 by BruceBass3901 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Foot Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) Was... Past tense. Dang, I'll have to keep and eye and ear open for one of these in a natural finish. Also, that maple neck with block inlays And tele headstock, wow. Edited May 8, 2015 by Left Foot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceBass3901 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) If you find a pair, give me a shout It looks like these are long gone though I found some discussions about it from 2009 on other forums Edited May 8, 2015 by BruceBass3901 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philw Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) Love the green/teal one. Never seen one before so presumably they're rare. What Fender model was it? How long ago was it discontinued? P EDIT!: Duh, sorry, didn't see the link in the OP. Edited May 9, 2015 by philw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattmit Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Peterbuilt makes those still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Foot Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 I'm waiting to see how the Peterbuilt threads pans out as I think he might have some things on at the moment. - Im not massively comfortable with commissions to a stranger in a foreign land just on positive rep alone. I cant find that neck, even on Allparts, but it looks like whatever I do to get something like that, it'll be fair expensive unless I go with the modern player Tele as Plunger suggested.
