American Performer...

[BassBiscuit]

Have Fender discontinued it..?

Seems to have disappeared from site...

I noticed over the last few weeks that when you go to select 'Series' on the Fender site, American Performer isn't in the list anymore, but the basses are still listed as available at around the £1400 mark. I hope they carry on, as they're great basses, especially if my American Performer Mustang is anything to go by.

Hopefully this means they plan to reissue the real Performer.

That's the weird looking mid 80's John Page designed one, isn't it? They only made them for about a year if I remember rightly.

Yeah, bass players, know your place... at the back.

It would be cool if they made an honest one-pickup American-built Mustang bass rather than the hybrid thing currently on offer. Maybe go back and take the geometries from a vintage Mustang rather than relying on the redrawn geometries seen on the CIJ reissues and everything else since, regardless of country of origin.
