I am fine with Fender pumping out the same old design. Just make a mid priced Jazz and Precision bass that keeps the same specs and line up name for at least five years but rotate the colours every twelve months. Fender have a few under used finishes in the catalogue. It’s not going to be to everybodies taste but there is a demand for more colours.
