Musicman20 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1485957364' post='3227999'] Finally Fender come up with some great sounding and playing basses and all anyone can do now is gripe about the colours!! [/quote] Why not enjoy life in style? In addition, the 2008- onwards changes were significant to the American Standards. I have an 09' P and an 11' J. Both are superb. I have played many P basses and I would not in any way want to 'upgrade' to these latest models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 LOL @ Fender pt. 2: http://www.pmtonline.co.uk/fender-fsr-limited-edition-59-american-vintage-stratocaster-natural They're trippin' big time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahambythesea Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 [quote name='drake' timestamp='1485872867' post='3227374'] i wish they would do natural finishes like they did in the 70s, always a cool look [/quote]I agree. If Chinese fakes can come up with pretty figured woods laminated to the tops, surely all the resources of Fender could do the same. Also if they want to play the "traditional" card, where are fiesta red and lake placid blue. These are forever getting mentions as favourites here along with candy apple red (this should be available just out of respect for the late Duck with a gold anodised plate of course).

mcnach Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1485857543' post='3227172'] They just need to have a few exciting colours in the range. Like, every year, introduce one off the wall colour and one classic pastel. E.g. Off the wall - Purple metalflake [/quote] NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really hope not, because I'd just might end up buying one mesmerised by its colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMMMM! Or just a nice green....like Sherwood Green! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I was going to order a purple flake Jazz bass in a precision-like package from Maruszczyk but I ended up going for a more subdued transpurple... so I still have room for a purple flake in my life...
