Good to see FCS doing something different

Well Keanu did give them some outrageous specs to follow……

I saw this earlier. It’s cool that he seems to be just as excited as the rest of us are when receiving a new bass

Whenever I see him being interviewed, he just seems like a nice, normal guy, who just happens to be a Hollywood star.

This is sensible from Fender. No one, least of KR, is under any illusions as to his capabilities as a bassist. What's also clear is how much he loves being a bassist. Here we see him, thanks to his standing in the world, getting a beautiful Fender lovingly-made to his exact desires. And then we get a nice long chunk of Mr Adequate Bassist being dutifully adequate with his band, with his lovely new bass sprinkling its magic onto the experience.

 

Fender Custom Shop: simply waiting for your specs and your wodge. Come on, we won't judge you 🤗

Agreed. The man's head-to-toe a class act.

 

I hope he gets a lot of pleasure out of his new bass.

Yeah.........I warmed to him right there.  No grandstanding or "look at me" diva BS. He seems to be just like the rest of us when it's NBD. Nice bass too.

 

If it goes on general release you can be sure that Fender will up their price accordingly though, since a Hollywood star's name is linked to it.

Sounds good for that style of music. Fills the bottom end out nicely.

Agreed, there doesn`t seem to be any "big star look-at-me" stuff going on with him.

I like it, has some nice alterations too...I was expecting a PJ stock as is.  Pleasantly surprised with the spec.  Looks and sounds good.  Keanu seemed really nice and un assuming.

Keanu is a class act 👍

The guy must be worth squillions. But he sold his mansion and lives in a flat, travels on public transport (and, when he flies, usually flies economy), and spends his money on "nice", relatively simple things, like a Ducati motorbike or a Fender Custom Shop bass. He's also taken pay cuts on films so the crew can get paid more. 

 

He seems like one of the world's few genuinely nice people, who seems to use his considerable wealth for good.

Which is probably why he’s a happy, grounded individual who still gets a kick out of life. Living in a gilded cage surrounded by people blowing smoke up your rectum seems to be the fastest way to shuffle off this mortal coil, particularly in LA.

When he was young, he got the chance to play Hamlet. When he turned up to rehearsals, not only had he memorised his own role, but everyone else's, too.

I heard he once walked on water.

I like the story Octavia Spencer tells about meeting him before she was famous

That was great! Ain't no day like new bass day.

Well thought out specs too. Very cool bass.

Fingers crossed for a Squier version ☺️

[merello]

Finally, Keanu gets to feel like everyone on here when we get a new bass!😁

I heard he once got the chance to meet Chuck Norris and that Chuck Norris was impressed.

I like this. The only thing that makes my teeth itch is that it looks like there is a black plastic truss access point at the headlock like the MIMs, etc. It cheapens the look of it slightly (IMO of course).

He's not perfect!  He plays with a plectrum!!!! 😟
