Is this nice?!

[Thunderpaws]

Just stumbled across this Fender master built P. Though I can appreciate the work and timbers used to make it, I think it’s fugly!

Anyone like it?

[bumnote]

not me its fugly

 

[Maude]

The 'aerosol overspray' around the pickup route ruins it, if it weren't ruined enough already. 

[ped]

Repulsive 

[mingsta]

A bit too heavy with the mascara. Not a good look. 

[AndyTravis]

No. It’s not for me.

 

[MoonBassAlpha]

It's a bit Goth.

One for a 'collector' to lock away for 20 years?

For it to still be rank? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[ahpook]

It looks like an ashtray.

Fell from the top branch of the ugly tree, struck a particularly springy bottom branch and bounced back up to repeat the process.

🤢

[Ricky 4000]

Euch, It looks > 💩

[alyctes]

Not my thing.  I agree part of the problem is the overspray around the pickup, but that's not all of it. 

But I am not a Fender fan, so...

[Newfoundfreedom]

All Fenders are ugly. This one I actually prefer to many I've seen. 

 

Edit:

Jesus H Mary mother of Christmas!!!

I've just noticed the price.

Now it's ugly!

I’m going to go against the grain here (‘pun’ intended) & admit to thinking it looks.......sort of alright.

The spray around the pickups is definitely a step to far though, & the price is just ridiculous. 

Good to see a Fender P that aesthetically isn’t as boring as f**k though!!

 

[Aidan63]

I can't see anyone buying it except to wave their willy about how expensive it is even if it plays well and sounds great

[BigRedX]

It's a nice piece of wood. However someone has seen fit to use it make a very boring bass.

Hmmm, not my thing.

If they hadn't coloured in round the pickups, it would be a lot better, but still a bit fugly.
I really struggle to see where the £5500 has gone on this. Is that what a custom shop Fender costs?

You’re not wrong. I’ve just been on the Maruszczyk configurator & specced an Elwood to something similar as below (can’t do the Jake). That Elwood spec includes Delano pups & hipshot bridge & tuners. Build quality would be just as good & comes in at £1800........

Make you think doesn't it...

[franzbassist]

Just don't bother with the burst, especially not one so heavy and badly thought through.....

[Osiris]

It's not pretty that's for sure, but it's no more hideous or offensive than the ubiquitous turdburst/turdashell combo finishes which have set the bar for fugliness far as I'm concerned, they really make my eyes bleed!

I might be willing to pay said collector to lock it away for a bit longer.

[ezbass]

That Fender makes me feel ill 🤮

You pay me £5,500 and I'll collect it and lock it away for 21 years then...?
