Your Fender knowledge beats mine. I concentrate on beautiful things.
My first bass was a Korean or Japanese "
Johnny Guitar" Jazz Bass knock-off - I hated its looks, but it was all I could afford. To me back then it was the most un-RnR shape imaginable.
The shop also had a Burns Flyte for - roughly - 15x the price, I would have loved to have that.
Within a year or so I had turned the
Johnny Guitar contraption into a fretless alright by wearing down the frets with my constant playing.
As you see, my disdain for Fender shapes is deeply embedded in my childhood.
