Made in USA, only for about 2-3 years, this one from 2019. 
 

According to Fender, only 250-275 were made in each colour (silver or pink) - so am I allowed to call it rare? 😜

 

Comes with original case and all candy - has been kept mostly in it's case and still has that 'new bass' smell  
 

Only 2 tiny marks on the back, as shown in photos. They are easy to miss, only seen in some light.

 

Weighs approx 9.33lbs / 4.23kg

 

If you want to collect, I’m in Chesham, HP5. Close to Chesham Underground on the Metropolitan Line, or near Chalfont & Latimer Rail, which has good links. 

 

Cheers 👍

Having looked for a very long time I speak from experience when I say that these do not come up for sale very often, which usually means they're so good once people have them they keep them.

 

Sorry it didn't work out for you Dan, get yourself back into Modulus Flea territory again 👍

Well, I would go Modulus territory again if @hiram.k.hackenbacker lost his mind and sold me back the purple one 😢🤣

Cheers Chris, certainly is a killer bass this Flea👌

Got a strong feeling I’ll just keep it for the ‘buzz’ factor, but unfortunately not play it much.

One of the rare newer releases that Fender got right vs just another P/J Bass. So of course they discontinued it 😆

Someone is getting a great bass at a great price here!

Just realised I had an old self-made backing track of RHCP when I was testing pickups in the summer, I just re-recorded with this bass and here's a link...https://soundcloud.com/user-382247502/arp-06_12_2024-18-19

 

...saves me posting my shite jams with the bass  

Lovely tone and playing Dan 👍

Going to withdraw this and keep it as a case Queen as I’m currently unable to post, and in no hurry to sell; so might wait and see what happens to the prices of these next year, or might relist when shipping becomes an option 🤔

[Chiliwailer]

Back up for sale as it's just sitting in its case; not in a hurry to sell, but will bump from time to time.

Cheers Bruce, was great to see you too. 
 

If you do get tempted to buy it, don’t forget my offer for the free sport sock (the unworn one 😜)

This bass signature will be rare soon.

[SurroundedByManatees]

I'd love to have one. Preferably the silver finish like this. Needs to be eu based unfortunately.

I assume you keep it that low by having the parcels declared as a "gift"?
