Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 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 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munurmunuh Posted August 28 Author Share Posted August 28 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 🤗 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. The man's head-to-toe a class act. I hope he gets a lot of pleasure out of his new bass. Edited August 28 by ahpook 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjones Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Sounds good for that style of music. Fills the bottom end out nicely. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnybass Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 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. Jonny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 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. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munurmunuh Posted August 30 Author Share Posted August 30 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wateroftyne Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 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).
