I think it's the "Fast Food" mentality . And the sense gratification theory. And the "it gets old in 5 minutes" analogy. The instant Karma incident and the Paul is dead video. Okay the last one- maybe not so much. But I want it now and now I'm bored so I want another one now faster than before cause I'm getting bored again so give it to me... more...now. I wish I owned a company.

thanks James- now I know what it is I'm a bit perplexed? It looks like they use a nice piece of wood but not much interest on my part. Fender like all companies or even more so seem to always be making variations to satisfy customers and I guess that's what it's all about. It would be nice if car companies did the same thing. Like interior colors for new cars. I think I'd like Rustic Ash leather seats in a nice tan color. Or Blue interior in my Black Rustic Ash Jeep---Nice that would be.

Believe it or not, I have only, to the best of my memory, purchased three basses (2 Ps, 1 J) because I fell in love with the finish. I still have the two Ps, and one is my primary gigging tool. The J is gone. I do like the light blue and green of the Rustic's, they remind me of the 60's, but I wouldn't buy one just for the finish. I like basses that relate to a change or evolution, physical, electrical, construction...something. Not just color.

Me too. I'm glad I got all my Fenders while the prices were still lower than now though. My friend who is a guitar builder (who's going to be in Vintage Guitar Mag. in September) says there is only $50 worth of wood ( give or take) in his guitars. He builds electrics and acoustics (arched tops and backs and flat tops) . I can't say what he charges but they are well worth what he wants for them. Prices on everything have gone up including Fenders. I wonder why there is such a high price on the Rustics? I'm sure there is a good reason. But if you pay high dollar for a Fender it's always going to be high dollar-- unlike some brands where you pay a thousand or more and you can't get rid of it for a sandwich after a few months or even once it goes out the door.

The finishes look like something a soccer mom could do on a Sunday afternoon with stuff she bought at a local Lowes. For that kind of money, I would expect a little more.

Just wondering, for which reason Fender has forgot to make Rustic Ash basses?

The California giant should release a rustic ash-bodied Jazz Bass to fit the bill and make bassists happy! :P


Giants are known for being a little dim-witted. :lol:
And mean.


Are you speaking of anyone in particular?
