Am I missing something.? It just looks like a black P bass with some red on it and a black headstock. Whilst saving money and not glossing the bass.

One of the more pointless exercises from Fender,s marketing team.

Yeh I'm not overly enamoured with it either.

Ooft!

Any more update on these?

Love that colour congrats!

I play close to the neck for a thicker sound and close to the bridge for a thinner, more funky sound. Nothing unusual there.

This.

Outstanding bass! Congrats

I don't think I would see the benefit of me using them as per the above comments.

Shame really as they look cool

Hi all,

What's the purpose of fret wraps on basses? Is it just for tapping solos or does it help compress slapping a bit?

Opinions and experiences welcome!

On a side note, I think they look pretty cool!

I have one of these. 1996 special edition. It's like a Jazz bass on steroids and the neck is a dream to play. You shouldn't have much trouble moving this on for that price. GLWTS

Ditto got a 5 string special edition. Outstanding bass, best 5 string bass I've ever played.

Wish I could justify having a 4 string version.

Any update on the strings?

Outstanding GLWTS

Have a bump on me for a stunning bass!

Oh man YOB bass for me been really hankering after a 5 string stingray too! Shame my wallet doesn't have the same enthusiasm

That is just perfect! GLWTS

Come on lottery numbers!

That's pretty special. Wow!

Could hang a couple of magic trees off it?

Nahh.. no good for me as I have small hands

You know what they say about small hands





Small gloves..

Surprised at the lack of interest in this bass. Looks stunning!

That is a mental colour! Love it

Looks amazing! Wonder what the guy who designed that was smoking.

That is amazing I don't think I've seen one of them before. Much cooler than Stings

Stu Hamm Urge Bass

Oofft!

That's one relic job I don't like..
