Weirdest Fender ever?

[Ben Jamin]

Looks like Fender CS are doing a limited run of an Adrian Younge signature bass, which has got to be one of the quirkiest designs I've seen for a while! 

 

Seems like it would be a bunch of fun to play, and clearly works for Adrian! But definitely a niche instrument!

 

Jazz body with 50% fretted, 50% fretless jazz neck

Precision middle pick-up

Curtis Novak bisonic neck pick-up

Built-in fuzz and tremolo effects

Well thats bonkers. 

 

I wouldn't buy one, but I always do enjoy when a signature instrument is a genuine "built for this one person" effort so I can appreciate it.

Price - $14,500

I'll take three please, and can you gift-wrap two of them for me?

sure and do you want fries with that?

Same pick up as in the equally weird Fender Abuelo ?

[Cato]

I like that a lot.

 

I wonder if they might do a limited lower specced MiM or USA production run if this generates enough interest.

[Happy Jack]

Yup, bringing the price down to $12,500 would be a game-changer.

Who?

I love the look of these. I'd want all of the frets though please.

I’d love to know how many of these they end up actually selling.

I would like to buy them all, and smash them into tiny pieces.
