Too bad it's a stinking huge pain to ever get anything from there to here:

It really is too bad that Fender won't let the japanese models come to their American dealers.

Use of certain words seems to have ben picked up by the sponsored ads. I gotta go look at the ads on the TB/tentacle-anime and which-mermaid-half-fish threads.

Pretty outrageous pricing though. Seems like it wouldn't be worth it for the cost. :cry:

For real. At almost two grand there are quite a few cheaper alternatives.

I'd settle for bringing back something like the Venus XII, which was hideous to look at but got some basic components of that sound very right.

Yes, that is confusing the ad machines.

Also, the price on that bitch is a real penis slapper.

Almost bought an original Lake Placid blue one back in the ‘70s
It was a choice between that or a Jazz bass, both costing a whopping $295.
I picked the Jazz with no regrets.
