Aside from a corporate crack epidemic, it's the only explanation I can come up with.

| | | | The red looks OK, but I have to agree my initial impression upon seeing the Blue pics is that it looks a lot like the affinity squire, and kinda cheap. IMHO, YMMV, etc... |

........Chrome Blue, which I believe was discontinued in 2005 (at least on Strats and Teles).

|  | Registered User | | | | | They ought to have limited run of different colors, for a short time only then never repeat those colors. |

I've always wanted a transparent green bass.. Stupid Fender, not being considerate of our GAS-needs.

| | | | Yeah because Fender doesn't gave a **** about what 20 guys on a bass forum think, close them down I say. Myself I'm never going to buy another Fender until they offer every color of the rainbow including all the metallics and all of the metal flakes and cameleon colors. I'm sure fender wiil pay attention then.
