I can hear the haters sharpening their knives already: '[i]Boring old Fender.. never doing anything out of the ordinary![/i]', and '[i]Eeew... they look too weird![/i]'.

i think the tele bas is gorgeous. I've always loved the look of that and the '51 P, and it is also the only time i would ever buy a bass in sunburst :) haha. The maple neck just makes it even more tempting :) Not sure about the pups though, they don't seem to be spaced right for me.

I've never been a fan of jags though, and I don't think this new one will change that.

Why do Fender think that we all want a maple neck with black block inlays?

There are at least 5 models I can think of that feature it now... American Vintage '75 RI Jazz, Geddy Lee Sig, VM Squier Jazz, Fender 70s P Bass and now these!

Why don't they balance it out a bit and give us a mid-ground bass with a maple neck and WHITE binding/block inlays.

At the moment, it's just the Marcus Miller sig or the '77 Squier. Something in the same mould/price range as the '70s series Jazzes but with that option and I'd be buying one without a second thought!

Fender.... sort it aaaaaaaaat!

can't there be a passive jag with tone/volume pots and pickup selecter switches? i badly want to like the jags but they're either over the top with a million controls or just bits nicked from existing models :/

i do like the maple neck and block inlays though (and the p/j setup)

gripe over :)

plus isn't this nicer? [url="http://www.fender.com/en-GB/products/search.php/?partno=0327900506"]http://www.fender.co...rtno=0327900506[/url]

dammit i keep thinking of things - a 5 string option on a jag would be AWESOME - if you're listening, fender.......

And the best question is...are Fender now making copies of Squiers?

Certainly looks that way to me - similar stuff going on with the 'Pawn Shop' guitars based on the Squier '51. Not too sure about these - the Tele looks like a '70s Jap copy with the big bridge pickup...

Personally the tele is one of the overdue basses.

Never going to be a big seller but for people like myself who have always preferred the shape of the single coil precisions and tele basses it'll be a winner.

Makes a change from the endless Jazzes and Precisions with very little difference between them

Currently showing as £400 from [url="http://www.coda-music.com/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=0&products_id=11040&oscsid=a162ea8ebe1592965a4d08d0cdf7fcdb"]Coda music[/url]. When Soundslive get a hold of them then they should come in less than that as they are usually one of the cheapest.

Any ideas where these will be made cos this is getting into top Squier money territory?
