If fender offered some of the signature series as standards with a more reasonable pricen that would be a start.
There was one sig model (forget whose) with two humbucks and a vastly different pickguard that was close to a telebass.
The truss rod wheel at the bottom of the neck. I still have to take the pickguard off to adjust my american standard.
Orange maple!! Not this aenemic crap. Better non plastic finish aswell!
Custom orders!!! Like you can with EBMM.
I'd go straight in an order said sig bass, maple fingerrboard, cobalt blue, white pearliod guard, chrome knobs and white pick up covers.
With mcgraham on ramps, definatly felt I needed one on so many basses.
