That’s because even though you’re in the crazy breakaway province of Alberta, you’ve still got to pay the feds 5% :slight_smile:

I mean, that pickup was clearly the weak point all along. I wouldn’t want it just on the basis of it being a single coil single pickup. The QC problems are icing on the cake.

Holy hell, what a mess.

It should be marketed as a 3-string bass, with a convenient string-shaped thumb-rest which stretches the length of the instrument allowing easy-access playing anywhere from the bridge to the nut.

Seems like a real train wreck. But, as someone on TB wrote: get yours now before they get recalled… might be worth a lot in twenty years (like those misprinted postage stamps, I guess) or once the Fender fanbois explain the mesmerizing hidden tonal qualities of such a “setup” :wink:

Better question yet is why didn’t Lobersterman get out of his pajamas, drive back to the music store and get an ‘A’ stock bass to do his review?
Kinda wasting everybody’s time. Glad he only got me for 1.5m

Because:
a. it was borrowed
b. they are all like this, every last one

I think it is great he is calling out Fender.
He called out Gretsch and they took note, Fender should do the same here.

Commenting on the comment of a video of someone who didn’t watch the video. I can’t take this comment of a comment of a video that the commenter didn’t watch seriously. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
