Mike Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 [url="http://www.fender.com/news/index.php?display_article=442"]Official Link[/url] I am so tempted by this, even though at best they're £1500. Could be a collector's item in future though. Anybody else thinking of taking the plunge? Quote
retroman Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Have to admit, this one has given me mild gas Quote

HMX Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 It's very nice. Unfortunately, the red colour isn't for me.. Quote
OutToPlayJazz Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Still seems terribly overpriced to me - If it had a Sadowsky preamp in it I'd be chomping at the bit to buy one. Quote
niceguyhomer Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Mmmm...looks a bit familiar to me...this was my 70RI LE that I owned once and foolishly sold.. Quote
LeftyJ Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 I think it's a big mistake to put the covers on, they should have supplied those separately. And blocks without bindings are ugly as hell imho. I do like the idea of blending some classic Jazz Bass elements from different era's though, but aside from the '70's bridge pickup placement, nothing really sets it apart from an American Standard. They could have done a lot better. Quote
retroman Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 IMHO, that bass would look gorgeous with a fully coloured neck, with some flame showing through, and cream binding :wub: Quote
