Custom Fender Custom Shop Ltd Ed Relic La Cabronita Boracho Bass 2012 Black

WPG Point of View
One of the (understandable) knocks on basses is that they can be heavy beasts that leave players with sore shoulders and knees at the end of a gig.

The WPG team was pleasantly surprised when we took this 2012 Limited Edition Fender La Cabronita Boracho bass out of its case; it’s way lighter than it looks—thanks to its ash body. 

But don’t let that lightness fool you. When we plugged it in, we discovered that this is a bass with plenty of grunt! That’s down to the T.V. Jones Thunderblade pickup, which, according to the write-up has been “placed ever-so-precisely under the proper harmonics”. We didn’t get our measuring tape out to prove it, but our ears told us that it certainly sounded great in a wide variety of musical applications. 

And then there’s the way this bass looks. “Different” is one way to describe it, with its reverse Jazzmaster body and those two elegantly simple control knobs. It also sports a relic finish that’s just this side of ‘gigged regularly’, rather than the ‘beaten to within an inch of its life’ that you occasionally see on some Custom Shop finishes.

The neck is a single piece of maple with a U-shape back and medium jumbo frets. Together with its light weight, this all adds to the incredible playability of this piece.
