Quite a few Fender artist models aren't much different from the originals. The point is to give fans a reason to buy what their inspiration plays (or played).

I still would like to see an affordable (Mexican) Slab Body P like The Ox had.

If it was available lefty I'd get one. My main bass in my Punk days of the late 70s/early 80s was a white P-Bass.

Maybe next year they'll use a White pick guard with a Rosewood fretboard and call it the Brian Wilson sig :P
I don't think there's a natural Standard Precision in the current lineup. They should do one of those and call it the John Deacon sig or a roadworn version called the George Porter Jr. sig.

Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

The (main, I had to cancel a post I started writing yesterday) problem with this is that Dee Dee would never have bought it himself - couldn't afford it.

Always nice to get a Signature Model.....after you're dead.

Less royalties to pay :)

Are you suggesting that corporations are motivated by profit?  ;D

Seriously, though, they would have had to get permission from some representative of the band or Dee Dee's estate, so I'm guessing royalties will be paid.

There is "history" for what they call the top dead musicians, those that gross the most... I think it's presently Jackson in the No.1 slot... Elvis is certainly in the top ten... :-\

A really nice 70's style P for $900, that's always good news. If I was in the market for a new bass in that price bracket, I would definitely check out this bass.

I also like the Nate Mendel sig, although I'm not a fan of FF. I do like the Sonic Highways doc.
