Hard to foretell. They let the American Vintage Series unchanged for 4 decades (1982-2012). A 62 P, a 57 P, a 62 Jazz. The only change made was a '75 Jazz Bass added during the 90s.
It was very popular. You would hardly see any pro with a contemporary Fender Bass, at least far more - if they didn't use real vintage stuff - with one of these vintage reissues.
Then they changed to the Pure Vintage Series in 2012 or 2013. A 63 P, a 58 P, a 64 Jazz and a '74 Jazz. This was a bit more expensive and vintage correct than the previous series, the most noticable change: the clay dots. My favorite US Fender basses.
Then after just about 4 or 5 years, the American Originals superseded the American Vintage Series.
They are a bit more streamlined and a bit less expensive. If one likes the features (the contemporary neck shapes), they are as good as the AVS instruments. But the reasons for the change, I assume, were purely economical: it is cheaper in production costs to use the same necks/neck shapes on all instruments. Another detail: even in the AVS series they changed from a '75 Jazz (that was rather a '78 Jazz, at least the decal) to a '74 Jazz: no more three bolt necks with the neck heel attachment system).
My assumptions: the late AVS series was too expensive for the targeted customers and in production to sell them to enough players, but so close to the Custom Shop instruments, that they were hurting the Custom Shop sales while not producing enough sales among "ordinary" or not so rich customers.
Just think about it: since the AVS series was stopped, you had to pay at least 3.000,- - rather much more - to get a vintage accurate US made Fender bass.
Don't have a clue if the AVS series will come back or not. Another assumption: the younger players don't care too much about accuracy, they want good instruments that look great. The colors are more important than the details, as long as those don't get in the way of playability or sound.
And - although the late AVS series are my favorite Fender instruments - I hate the clay dots!!! I want to see where I am playing on a dark stage....
My three late AVS series basses. The two '64 Jazz Basses are even rare among those, the Daphne one with a matching headstock was a limited run and never part of the official series and the Lake Placid Blue one with a matching headstock was only available for one year:
