Not sure if you've seen it already though. Just got this newsletter from Fender

What's new about it?

[Clarky]

Two new colours is all, I think

[Musicman20]

Looks good in Sunburst, but I prefer the plain old Jazz.

Fender are going mad with loads of new gear lately.

[Grand Wazoo]

It seems they've made a mistake on the specs of these basses on their website, it says here one bridge Jazz bass pickup and neck Precision... they look both like jazz pickups to me, shame it would have been nice if they were a P/J configuration

Now where have I seen these before.

Bit of a price hike I see too. They now retail at 789bucks......

i think thats a cool-looking bass, just wish fender would push something out a bit new, not recycled reworked reinventing the wheel stuff.

EDIT: Ignore me, I got the wrong page on the fender website..

I think that one is a different variant, i.e. non Deluxe and non active / passive.

Yeah, it's a Modern Player. Like I said, I got the wrong page.

But that Deluxe Jaguar is growing on me...
Damn it!!

Depends on what you mean by "new", I suppose

[waynepunkdude]

I like the fact that on the main forum screen the title shows up as "New from Fender ... hmmm no"

Gotta love that though!

[Dave Vader]

This one's nice too...

[bigsmokebass]

The only new colour is the blue, surely? Im still hoping these are MIJ/CIJ than Mex made.

The MP series looks awful IMO and I'd be surprised if they're MIM considering price range :-X

It wouldn't surprise me and still charge us the same price for the MIJ version.

I noticed the 70's Pbass is same price as the Jbass over the pond, yet they're £200+ more over here.
THANK YOU FENDER UK/EU!!!

I think this bass works better in a solid colour myself.... it just does.
