Thread: Skin DEEP 2014 - Hot Fender Challenges

  1. #1

    Default Skin DEEP 2014 - Hot Fender Challenges

    Now this one was a REAL close call. With a final vote of 6-5, the Vadim Rubstov 4-String Bass peeled the crown off the head of the Pedulla Nuance 5 Bass and earned its place on the top of the mountain.

    For now.

    (insert ominous chord of music)

    And so, as our new contender enters the arena, we are thrilled to introduce her as the Fender American Deluxe Dimension Bass. First off, before we go any further, the finish on this beauty is called Cayenne. Muy caliente!

    Fenders always do well in Skin DEEP, but does this smokin', spicy Dimension have what it takes to unseat the Vadim Rubstov 4-String Bass?

    The Vadim Rubstov is much more appealing to me than the Fender. I have great respect for the Fender classics but this new design does absolutely nothing for me.

    I've been looking at and contemplating getting that very Dimension bass. I'm going with the Fender.

    I hate the look of ash bodies. They remind me of the ugly oak cabinets in my kitchen. I don't really like the styling on the Dimension, either. Vadim for me, no contest.
