According to my guy at Sweetwater, they are made in Mexico.
They have the Olympic White w/stripe in stock, now...

Don't see the appeal of these things, especially at the price.

But, the clean sounded nice. I'd really like this bass for around $500. $800 just seems outrageous. |

Plan seems to be downsourcing to imports + raising prices to get more per-unit profit out of what would have formerly been at-near-loss entry-level instruments.

I tried to pick up a Squier Mustang recently, but that was at a much lower price point than the new Fender model.

Hence why all the new Pawn Shops are made in Mexico. I keep going back and forth from here and OSG reading new information :P |
