Pretty nice for a Fender :wink:

Apparently it takes the Japanese to kick some aesthetic sense into the upper echelon at Fender!

Agree!

matching headstock, black on red, outlined pickguard, satin body, satin neck, black nickel hardware, etc - very nice modern look on a classic :slight_smile:

there is also a Fender line called the Boxer series right now that has a couple of other solid color P/J basses with black headstocks.

I swear the bass looks twice as good that way, just from the black headstock.

I am a total sucker for matching or black headstocks and dark fretboards :smile:

And satin finishes on black basses.

Love it, the only thing missing is a J pickupā€¦Japan made instruments are superb.

If you want a nice looking MIJ P/J from Fender check out the Aerodyne, itā€™s amazing too.

I too saw these on thomann.de recently, but thereā€™s only two colors, red and greenā€¦ Why did they have to go with those two? I canā€™t decide which one looks worse :roll_eyes: If it came out in white Iā€™d buy one instantly.

I know. I love red, and I love green, and I usually love Fenderā€™s color choices, but that red and that green are not doing it for me without a pickguard on a P or J style body.

You know what would fix them too? A racing stripe.

I wish it had black hardware, bridge and tuners. canā€™t tell if the knobs are black or not from that picture.
But yeah, I would defiantly consider that for the P-bass I plan to get one day.

Yeah, and it has the black hardware.
I would love that bass if it was orange with the black. man Oh Man, that could be the official Bass Buzz bass (commercially produced bass, not the signature Brian is making)

Probably came out around Christmas time.
I could actually live with each of those colors, separately, not together

Wait, no, not that green, YUK.
I could do the Red one tho, it is pretty flashy.
Wish they had Orange, but not that soft pastel Orange on the Fender Players series.
More like Bass Buzz Orange

Yeah. I could picture that green working, but not without something else helping it out.

Like the red but would like it more with some accents as well.

You want to go head to head with my Funk Band?
I will be bringing this one.

But you better watch your back, I just brought a knife to a fist fight.

edit: IDK why the website wonā€™t get the full bas in my screen for a screen shot. thats kind of lame, but yeah, it has roasted maple headstock with gold hardware. but It should have had the metallic purple matching headstock.
I think they kind of blew it on that one.
