NOT a Fender product. No such animal. Just a parts bass with an ugly finish.

Awhile back, someone said that Chicago Music Exchange is under new ownership. If that's so, the change in ownership really hasn't changed much.

Really?  If so, interesting - Fender headstock, probable legal action to follow....?

Who knows if Fender has even noticed it, they don't have the resources to go after every fake and it's not on eBay. Besides, it could be a real Fender neck or a Fender-licensed neck. BTW, note the faked "Strato" on the decal is in a different font and has a different curve.

It's one of those rumors with nothing to substantiate that there ever was such a model planned by Fender or a prototype made by Fender. But there's a sucker born every minute.

I'll bet our buddy George from Acoustic could explain how a parts bass made with maybe $300 in parts (when they were new) is worth $3k... but it would involve alot more cutting and pasting than he has time for.  :o

Maybe he could get his wife to do it.

But Jon, yours isn't a mythical STRATO bass.  ;)

I'm sure the one you're selling is a genuine Fender CS bass, but no matter how good it is, I wouldn't buy anything connected with RB. I won't elaborate in public.

Forever the dissenter, I must say that I'm quite taken by it. Très cool. You need to be a real man to play that thing, but you sure won't go unnoticed. The concept of a Stratocaster bass version has always intrigued me. It's the Ritchie Blackmore in me.  :-[

Whether this is real of fake, I voice no opinion on. I just like how it looks. The world has way too few basses with purple fretboards.  :gay: :gay: :gay: :gay:
