Musicman20 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Looks good in Sunburst, but I prefer the plain old Jazz. Fender are going mad with loads of new gear lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Heeley Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 i think thats a cool-looking bass, just wish fender would push something out a bit new, not recycled reworked reinventing the wheel stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigsmokebass Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
