I don’t love them but they are neat and unique. A for Effort.

Thank Fender for making an MIJ bass I wouldn’t even consider

I like racing stripes (I own 3), but on a burst? Ew

That is truly stupid looking.

That bass might be perfect for playing King Missile’s greatest hit. :grimacing:

The Competition Black with the sunburst racing stripes doesn’t look too bad.
(I do agree that the racing strips on the other burst doesn’t look right at all.)

The whole yea/nay on racing stripes on a bass (in any incarnation) has been flogged to death and back many times. Some really dig stripes; others most assuredly do not.

But combining stripes with a burst is just an exercise in tacky-tude, to my eye. It’s all good though, because I’ll never be trying to outbid anyone who likes ‘em. :joy:

Yeah I posted pics of these the other day, they are much worse in person. Top two here:

Well it could be worse.

They could have paired stripes with an Antigua finish

My photo is from the American web store. Of all the instruments MIJ they could bring over they chose this?
