The options for customizing are very few. No color options for hardware, no bridge options, basic tuners, no painted headstocks or even necks, basic pick cups choices. Looks to me like they are charging big time to do what alot of guys do on their own and for way less. Fenders are cool basses but I would never pay their price for basic stuff. I buy used squires, repaint or have them repainted, buy and install the parts I want and its waaay less than a fender. Just my opinion. For what they are asking a way better bass, even a vintage fender can be had.
Were you on the same site I was on?
I saw two hardware color choices, three P pickup choices and four or five J pickup choices, two bridge choices, multiple tuner choices...
And you can barely build a decent Warmoth bass for $1500, once you add everything up... and then what's your resale on a Warmoth or a Squier if you decide you want to try something else?
It's SHIT.
You're lefties, people... you represent 1% of the guitar playing population.
You should be PUMPED that the gigantic behemoth corporate monster that Fender has become has given us such an incredibly cool way to custom design their flagship designs.
No, we don't have every choice of every tiny little goddamned thing that righties get... but, I'll tell you what.
If this experiment of theirs is a failure because a bunch of lefties out there decided not to order because they didn't get their rainbow sparkle custom finish with macassar ebony boards and abalone blocks and binding, we're certainly NEVER going to get ANYTHING we want ANY MORE, I can tell you that much.
It's too bad so sad that this is EXACTLY why we get fucked all the time... we get these cool opportunities, and it's STILL not good enough.
Special discount for those who know what's my favorite animal and color.
