Rocking Penguin

Badtz Maru (born 1 April 1993, according to my contacts) has a dream of greatness and a badass attitude. And to honor that attitude Fender came up with an instrument for rude bassists. Though it may look girlish (probably because it is for rocking girls) this is a very macho bass, inspired in the Fender Squier Bronco bass construction the Squier Badtz Maru Bronco bass features a nice c-shape one piece maple neck (with skunk stripe) and fretboard, it has one special design single coil pickup, also found in the regular Bronco Bass but this one has a black cover instead. Amongst the special features we can find a Badtz Maru pickguard, rear routed control cavity, knurled chrome dome control knobs, Badtz Maru artwork in the back of the body and an engraved Squier neckplate. This is a short-scale 30in bass, which makes it just right for small people or for musicians that want to explore a not as ballsy sound as a long 34in scale. The single pickup gives this bass a brighter character and sound, in addition to the maple neck and shorter scale. This is a very nice well crafted little instrument. Let's get real, I won't be playing this at a biker's bar but heck yeah those bikers will think the bass is cute and will blow me a kiss. Go ahead and kick some butts with this penguin.
