Fender Parrallel Universe Bass

Just saw on their Instagram story there’s a sweet looking bass.

Now that's a universe I definitely DON'T want to be part of.

[Doctor J]

Such radical visionary design in the other universe. It’s almost as if they don’t just jumble up a pile of existing parts and slap a name on it, like they do in this universe.

[Tweedledum]

How long until they re-issue the '55 P - single coil pickup, contourd ash body, 2TS finish? That's the perfect design. As far as I'm concerned, there was no need to re-invent the Precision Bass in 1957.

I like that they're making crossovers from various classic Fender models, but I wish they'd do it with a little more... taste? For example, I really dig the stuff RS Guitarworks is doing with some of the classic designs, like a Jazz Bass in '50s P-bass style. Just awesome!

I like it. 

Looks kinda cool, and I could definitely see me gigging one

The Custom Shop did a limited run of these a few years ago. I nearly bought one*.

*But didn't.

Love that.

The Fender isn't a million miles away from a Schecter Model T.

Here's the one the CS did a run of back in 2001...

That is a whole lot sexier, with the contoured body rather than slab! Lovely. 

[Cosmo Valdemar]

It's the Jaguar Stratocaster thing lurking on the left that make me doubt Fender's sanity somewhat...

[GuyR]

Why didn't Fender think of the RS-guitarworks 50s style jazz bass. It's fabulous.

Crikey, that’s beautiful!

They all look the same to me.

I wish there were more colours to chose from.
