Dang, that looks great. The P/J is still beating it out for me on price and function, but it does look very cool.

Amazed they're doing a rosewood Telecaster post-CITES. Thin veneer or solid rosewood like the originals?

Quoted for truth. He’s one of my favorite bassists by far.
The cool thing about fretless is you can hit a note...and then renegotiate.

Oh man I am so excited for Saturday. If this thing is 7.25" then I'm going to have a hard time not grabbing one later this year. Dammit why did I have to hand off bass duties in my band? Maybe I can convince my bassist to buy one for himself...

9,5". Sorry.
PRESS RELEASE: Known as a true renaissance man of the modern music scene, Justin Meldal-Johnsen’s bass credits range a variety of top artists across genres. From studio to stage, Justin’s treasured ’67 Mustang Bass is his tool of choice.

Fender has teamed up with him to create a signature 4-string modeled after his vintage Daphne Blue instrument - the limited edition JMJ Road Worn Mustang Bass.

Powered by a custom-spec split-coil pickup, the JMJ Road Worn Mustang bass is perfect for playing punchy, melodic bass lines.

The 30" scale gives it a tight, focused tone while the modern 9.5”-radius fingerboard with rolled edges offers a familiar feel that will make any bassist feel right at home.

Designed for comfort and speed, this bass also has stage-ready style.
