CBS sold the right to the Fender brand in 1984 and that was the end of the era, Fender later became Fender Musical Instruments Corp (FMIC). And soon after the Custom Shop was formed in 1987 starting with 2 master builders to start their high-end boutique product line and had great success til these days.

Holy grail of precision bass, made by Fender and named after the great Pino Palladino.

Here's my cover of Stevie Wonder's version of For Once In my Life from 1968 .   Motown classic recorded by Stevie and the Funk Brothers .   My favorite bass line of all time where Darling Dear comes 2nd.
