How much?

[waynepunkdude]

for that price I'd want to f*** it up myself

I thought maybe they were covering their ebay fees, but they have it at the same price in their online (outside ebay) store. £863 at GAK, though they do charge an extra £30 for the sunburst.

Absolute sh*t for those who want a "gig ready experience" bass.
I love Fender basses but this is a bridge too far, as are all reliced basses.

I wonder if they are dividing the premium with the Mexican staff?

I was at a guitar shop in Bolton recently with my wife and they had a couple of Road Worn guitars on the wall for £800+. She sneered at them at said "800 quid and it looks like sh*te! Why on earth would anyone want to buy that?" I didn't have an answer. But then again she plays the flute.

So does my wife.
Small world n all that.

i actually got one of these today...haha..
i went to the store to pick up a strap...i saw a road worn in the window and thought it looked nice but i cant be arsed with Fender as i dislike them highly.
the guy insisted i played it...i did,and f*** me was i suprised.it plays and sounds amazing...i couldnt believe it...i havent put it down..i bought it there and then.
i didnt pay full retail and i wouldnt..but for the money i paid its worth it..not worth the £1200 mark tho..

Enough of this nonsense, time for this.

I went with the wife to the local guitar shop, specifically to look at a roadworn strat in the flesh. She took one look and said "you're not paying £750 quid for that!!!" Damn! this is why I never (usually) let her anywhere near a guitar shop!

I think that (Good) relics look 10 times better than horrible shiny new instruments.

it is exactly the same as the classic 60's jazz: [url="http://www.fender.com/products//search.php?partno=0131800300"]http://www.fender.com/products//search.php?partno=0131800300[/url] - but obviously more expensive!!

Your wife sounds like a smart lady.
