dannybuoy Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Nice, I always fancied a bass with this pickup layout, but only Atelier Z seemed to produce them! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beedster Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Jino B-bass and Pino P-Bass, it's almost like someone in marketing planned it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Bloody brilliant, first 10 seconds shows him playing with the pick cover in place, he does a glissando and it's vanished! Well worth the uplift on a normal Jazz Bass price.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannybuoy Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I'm not sure, but by eyeballing it alone, it looks like it might be 70s Jazz spacing (that puts the bridge pup closer to the bridge than usual), and the MM slightly north of the sweet spot.

Pea Turgh Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Some of those tones are well nice. Lovely colour, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidbass Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Goodness me, there are so many other players more deserving of a signature instrument IMO. And I bet you the pickup pole piece alignment is awful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartelby Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Not sure who he is but that's a nice looking bass , sounds good too, and he's certainly enthusiastic about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machines Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 At least it's something different ! I'd definitely be interested in trying one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure it’ll be available outside of Asia at least not initially unless there’s demand but of course I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not. It wouldn't be THAT hard to stick a MM in a Squier and see what it's like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krispn Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 (edited) It’s good to see Fender do something a little different for them irrespective of how deserving folk think the player is. I’ve never heard of the guy but the bass would be fun to try out and I’m looking forward to a more comprehensive demo online soon!

NancyJohnson Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Is there no end to Fender's reinvention of its legacy models? Decades old designs, rehash, rehash, rename, custom colours, tick a famous signature on it and sell it for $$$, yaaaaawn. It's not like there's not a bass in the marketplace that has a pickup in that position. I forget who it was, but I seem to remember an old bloke who owned a biggish guitar company set up with another bloke and made a bass with a pickup in that position. Oh, what was the name of that company? The model was name after a fish. Perhaps if I take an old Jazz and put 5 pickups on it there'll be a NJ Signature Model in the pipe. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I bet you the pickup pole piece alignment is awful Bit harsh in the deserving part - there will be better, there will be lesser players. He may well be big in Japan, and if he is respected there and gets people into playing music despite not being better than player X then good on him. Pole alignment is for the OCD (nowt wrong with that) as long as they are equally unaligned across strings then the magnetic field effect will be the same. Some decent sounds, and looks pretty cool 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 What language was he speaking? Didn't sound like Japanese (to my untutored ear) and was so littered with isolated English words (Jazz, control, humbuckere, etc.) that it was hard to work out what was going on.
