Actually, I did contact Fender in the mid 90's to see if they were going to issue a Clinton Jizz bass, but I never got a reply. Close, but no cigar.......
Started life as a second hand Squier CV 5 string (natural finish).
Lockdown respray, fender high mass bridge, gotoh machines, pearloid scratch plate and a set of Wilkinson replacement pickups later......
Nothing for me in January this year (I play in three bands to varying degrees).
Only got one in Feb as well currently, but it starts to pick up in March.
