Next Fender 5 String?

[john nam]

Does anyone know when Fender will introduce a new 5 string, like maybe a Modern Player 5 or a Custom Shop 5? The Reggie V has been around for a long time and it seems like the Custom Classics are pretty much discontinued; only Sweetwater has a few of them.

No telling. I'm not sure if they need/want to. There aplenty of companies knocking off what Fender does while trying to make those basses modern as well. The Fender American P5, variety of J5's are probably good enough for most people. Though I wouldn't hate it if they came out with more of them.
