Fender's Big Secret: Basses

Guys, I just found out that Fender's been making basses for a couple of years. I knew Fender made Epiphone Les Pauls, but I had no idea they were in the bass business.

Funny thing is that the serial numbers put the sunburst JB at 2013, but I read in Esquire that Fender's first year to make basses was 2019, the year my black JB was made.

LOL! I had to check my calendar to make sure it wasn't April 1!

I can’t believe no one knows this. Everybody’s too busy buying Rickenbacker Parker Fly Basses. If a few name players used Fender basses, more bassists would discover them.

it must be a fake, somebody trying to pass off a chinese bass as a vintage 2013. How dumb do they think we are?

Somebody needs to report them to PRS.

Surely you jest! And yeah, I WILL call you “Shirley”! :D
