TheGreek Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Confirmation that Fender are overpriced, over-rated and that you can get more for your money elsewhere.. Quote
Painy Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 [quote name='skej21' timestamp='1444044504' post='2879675'] Just trying to be helpful by linking it, as it does exist in the U.S. standard range and as a burst/maple with white scratchplate (which is easily changed!) in the Mexican standard range too. Thought it'd be worth helping if Painy was trying to find one :-) [/quote] My (possibly poorly worded) post was indeed referencing the OPs initial reason for looking elsewhere than Fender for this colour combo. Thanks for the info of course though but personally I'm strictly a 5 stringer anyway which Fender definitely don't offer as a sunburst/maple option for a P. Fortunately for me though, Squier do offer the VM P5 in it and that's why it's my next planned purchase Quote
timhiggins Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Looks great i have the Bass collection 'Detroit' p bass and its fantastic I want a tort p.g. now ! Quote
CamdenRob Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 I bet if they were to go for a website based configurator ala sandberg with an option to click "build" at the end, at that price there would be a lot of takers.... Quote
Lynottfan Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) I have two Bass collections, The Lynott and da" Stick and they are superb, I have idea's a plenty to have a chat with Mr M about now then! Great looking bass you have there, as for the logo, I really like it, as for the snobs, well in the main they don't know jack! Nice one mate. Edited October 9, 2015 by Lynottfan Quote
hookys6stringbass Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) [quote name='disgrace of bass' timestamp='1444054226' post='2879843'] My Fender American Deluxe Precision is black and maple...you are right, its a very nice colour indeed - very Roger Waters. [/quote] I had a Fender Deluxe in black and maple too...great bass but I prefer my old BB Yamaha's...However I have an urge for a Bass Collection to my own specs...shame they haven't got a maple neck with 21 frets...

Merton Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 [quote name='disgrace of bass' timestamp='1444055044' post='2879853'] Well in all fairness the bass is mostly made in Korea, but hand assembled in the UK with custom-wound UK made pickups, so yep, its a UK rig! [/quote] To be fair my two Ashdown amps are assembled in China so my British collection is similar Quote
Number6 Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 I really would consider a Mix n Match Bass Collection. I have a a scheme in mind. Are the Bass Centre doing these for anyone that requests them now? Quote

Number6 Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 I emailed BC and so far they've ignored me.....i'll give it until the weekend then pass judgement. Quote
disgrace of bass Posted October 15, 2015 Author Posted October 15, 2015 I have noticed that Barry takes ages to reply to emails - I'd ring him up and ask to speak to him - thats what I did. Quote
