I'd like something a a little more accurate than the Play-Doh yellow Japanese RI, and a tad more affordable than the Custom Shop RIs.

It's a shame the bass VI is so ugly. I'd like to see one with a Strat/Tele body.

Aztec gold jazz with matching HS would be sweet

As I said in a similiar topic:
In my opinion Fender will just try to make the New American Vintage Series a little more accurate than the current ones. I wouldn't be surprised if they rise like 600 dollars on the street price to just add the 'pat numbers' on the headstock and get the 12th fret dots "right".

And make the 2 knob concentric style work like the originals on the jazz.

Really looking forward to seeing what happens.

I'd be thrilled if they'd just get the details right for the existing years.
12th fret dots, year-specific neck profiles, correct headstock shape,
body contours, little hardware details …

New model years and color options would be icing on the cake.

i actually liked the 62' precision and jazz. too bad i still cant afford one now they're on sale.
i hope they just fix some historical inaccuracies on them. so they will be still early 60's p and j basses available in sunburst. and the black jazz 62 is cool as well.
also im hoping for a 70's jazz in sunburst rw and pearl block inlays (like the mim 70's one). and more colours in general
and low prices in europe..... well....

Okay, I think I need to look up Bass VI. I have no idea what that is and why they are in demand.

Original Custom Colors. Too bad my gas is going to get the best of me before these are released. Oh well.

No one really knows if and when anything is being done, although with the deep discounts on the AVRI's, it's clear that something is happening.

With that said, we'll probably know no later than January as companies often release info during or just prior to winter NAMM.

I grabbed one of the fire-saled 62 AVRI P's because at under 1000.00, it was impossible to pass up.

sThat said, if any of the New American Vintage series shows up with a painted headstock in CAR or LPB, or worse, something is sporting Sherwood green, my checkbook doesn't stand a chance.

I would like to see a SCPB that has the contours. Maybe a '54?

Also, a '59 split coil P w/rosewood.

And a mid '60s J Bass.
