    Personally- sexy as hell, I want one. I was thinking you could probably do a pretty good copy using a mixture of Pitbull kits.

    That blue one looked very nice. Sound on dirty channel was a bit too muddy and dark. Hopefully more the crap amp settings than the guitar.

    I like a few different things about this.

    Firstly, Fender has come up with a number of winning design and tone concepts over the years which have gone on to be industry standards. Re-combining them in different combinations to make new models seems like a no brainer to me.

    Also, I've always liked a number of bass body shapes, and have felt left out as a guitarist. I've contemplated bastardising a bass kit or two with a guitar neck. I'd be more inclined towards an Ibanez or Yamaha bass shape than a Fender one, but the concept is there.
