How many of you have seen a Fender Katana in person?
…I mean, aside of those of you who actually live in Japan.
I was at Guitar Center for my lesson (oh, yeah, I’m taking in-person lessons, my instructor is pretty rad) and someone came in to sell one used. I was there early so I got to see it and play it… the entire store was buzzing about this bass (see what I did there?), as no one had ever seen one in person. I took some pictures of it which I will post in a reply once I switch over to my phone.
It sounded VERY rad, and it was super light. The previous owner wound up selling it to them… I don’t think it will hit the shelves though, I think the store manager absconded with it. LOL.
I own a Suzuki Katana (retro)
I own a Warwick Katana 4 string neck through
I even own a Hattori Hanzo Katana blade
But I have never heard of a Fender Katana bass.
My fave. I have owned one GPz 1100 and two EX-500 (also branded variously as GPz 500 and Ninja 500, depending on market.) All were top tier bikes in their class IMO.
Wow! Ninja 500. In the mid 80s I wanted the 400 so bad, but the used ones were not available to me (at the right price), I go the CBr 400 non faring. Looks so cool. I was 14-15 at the time I had to tiptoe when I stopped or stopped at the curb on one side of my feet so I keep the bike upright. .
Hey @howard on the plus side, I owned 2 MotoCompo. The brakes were just horrible and doesn’t stop but I love them. I wish Honda bring it back.
