KiOgon Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) Personally I'd like a thumbrest, Ebony or Rosewood, would rather have no pickguard or screw holes & no BadAss but that's just me quite nice though Edited April 5, 2013 by KiOgon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EssentialTension Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Great idea but without the Badass, and without the Pickguard, and with a '51 single coil pickup and a piezo in the bridge it would have been a great success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethFlatlands Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 That is a beauty, I'd be too scared to play it out if it was a one-off at that price though so it's useless to me. Still, phwoar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyTravis Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 That with a maple neck and unfisished headstock would be my preference. The semi-hollow part I like a lot though. Wish they'd import the f-hole jazz basses fender Japan are doing at the minute! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I can kinda see the point in a 'posh' Tele or P bass so long as it keeps to the core of the design ethic but a hollowed out P bass with an F hole and a silly pick guard just seems completely out of kilter with such an iconic design. I genuinely can't imagine how anyone thought this was a good pice of design. God knows what the poor Fender Custom Shop guys thought when presented with this!

Schnozzalee Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I don't get the idea of a semi hollow P bass but...black pickguard, no badass @ four hundred pounds [size=4] [/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philw Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Hmmm, I actually love that. Needs a maple fingerboard though to be fully lush. P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
