That might be one of the best looking Fenders I have ever seen. Double buck, unusual shape, really like it. Nice to see them getting away from the same old same old. They aren’t exactly known for innovation.

Not flawless though. Color choice not my bag, classic headstock an odd choice that would look way better at least matching, etc.

Fender gonna Fender!

They’ll weird out their signature body in this instance, but mess with the crowning glory headstock they sue usurpers over? Nuh-uh.

Clovers just look kind of marginal on that bass. That thing is really calling for a matching headstock with smaller tuners.

That might be part of my problem with it. With that body, the headstock is jarring.

I also think paint the headstock

I like the bass body but not this particular color combination. They have others I like much better

Or is it just ultra-efficient use of materials.

All i see is neck dive and a sore shoulder from the weight of that oversize body. The shape itself is interesting and sort of reminiscent of thd Billy Bo Jet basses of yesteryear
