My wife wants to remodel the bathroom - my new position is that it is a "relic" and should be left alone. Would mold be considered part of being a relic?????


Depends on what the mold is from...

Your bathroom is either a RELIC or perhaps just LOAD WORN :twisted:

Hahahahah! "Load Worn".

Another thing to remember is that ALOT of the younger bands out there that have "made it" are playing CS relics. I believe the bassist in The Killers has been using a CS 59 lately, though maybe not a relic. The bassist for Coldplay played a Pino last I knew, and had for awhile. John Mayer plays CS relics. These are but a few of younger musicians playing vintage looking pieces.

Besides possibly giving some cats who play CS relics an affordable back up, the Road Worn series will allow younger guys who are starting to get out there with thier own bands to play instruments like THIER idols are playing. There are alot of young kids in bands that aren't old enough to have real vintage instruments, and can't afford a CS Relic. This gives them the opportunity to play SOLID Fenders. (The Classic Series Fenders are the BEST Fender's being made outside of the AVS and CS lines, IMO.)

1). I cannot understand why Fender spends so much time on making "vintage" look instruments like the new Road Worn series. Why anyone who has a hard enough time scraping cash together for an instrument would want to pay for a beat-up guitar with 40-year-old ergonomics is beyond me. So much advancement in playability and electronics have been made, especially in instruments for under $1,000, that it seems absurd to pay a premium price for an new "old" guitar.

2). Fender could greatly improve their website by emulating a couple of things from competitors. Lakland has done two simple things on their website that really present their instruments better. First, they have sound clips! Wow, who would have thought that a company that sells audio-producing equipment might want to have audio on the site. Secondly, (a personal pet peeve on the Fender site) Lakland runs their product shots horizontally (i.e., you can see the instrument in a normal playing position). Again, wow, who would have thought that a long/narrow picture (like an instrument-shot) should run horizontally on a computer monitor which (shazammm) are wide and narrow. Duh.

3). When is Fender going to produce a bass guitar with the pickup combination that rules them all: one Jazz and one MM. So many other companies are already producing instruments in this configuration for the obvious reasons. If there is some sort of bad blood between Fender and Ernie Ball - who cares? Come on Fender - just do it. I promise you won't lose money.

4). Now, about that Fender 6-string bass that everyone is waiting on...



Looking at the specs I'm pretty sure you could acheive point 3 on the Roscoe Beck bass. The middle pup can be swithced to Single coil with the Bridge pup in humbucking mode. Job Done. :)
