walshy Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 New arrival and my god it’s lush! I know Fender Custom Shop sometimes gets bad press for their prices and stuff but this is a beauty. Same spec and build (bar head stock colour) to Scott Divine P Bass of Doom! 1959 heavy relic finish in Oly White over Candy Apple Red 😍 I know relic can be marmite but man, it’s a beaut! Even got Fender to send me the Shop Floor Traveler. Sounds bloody lush too! Welcome to come and try it if you’re local to me 😁 Bought on EBay but I believe it belonged to @Atomic dustbin on here. Lovely fella 🤘 Few sexy bass pics for you all. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuzzie Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 If I was up north east, it would probably be clumsy me popping in for a play and my jaw dropping on it, it’s such a good looking beast 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty P basses here to A/B it against too. Played a mates ‘62 last week, unreal! This one is bloody magnificent though. Gigging it next weekend at WV1 Fest see how it sits live ( after I put flats on tomorrow 😉) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

three Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I'm not the biggest fan of relic jobs but love the look of this one. Think I'd be saving up for Spitfire plate (I really don't know how the CS can justify the stuff they're currently knocking out - I've had a few and always replace the plates) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ '65 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Nice one, it’s a shame this charity gig was arranged for the same weekend but will let you know. Probably going on Sat too to see my mate H in Dizzy Lizzy. I’m sure it’s going to be a great weekend though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grahambythesea Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I know I don’t really get relicing , but who in their right mind would refinish a gorgeous Candy Apple Red with boring old white? Surely relicing should be of an original colour and therefore showing bare wood? Doesn’t refinish normally devalue a vintage instrument? I glad it plays like a dream. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not a vintage mate it’s a Custom Shop and Yeah relic is marmite but I love it so 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
