Fender FSR P basses??

I am really kicking myself for not buying one when Sweetwater had them. Great looking basses for sure.
Love it, of course. I haven't had time to test it much though, I got it the day before I went on holiday.. So I don't really know how it sounds, only played it on a little VOX plug-in headphone amp. But the finish and build quality seems absolutely excellent. Really, really happy so far
Nooooo... It's back! Those basses look sharp! I played a nice hand stained Fender Jazz in California a few weeks ago. It sounded great. No surprises there. The 2012s should have the upgraded PUs on board. I would have to hear a good side by side to see if I could tell if the new PUs make much of a difference. I know they are not making a lot of these at the moment. So if you dig it and can find one, grab it!
I have one now sitting in my music room!
The mahogany/maple Jazz Bass is still listed on fender.com, no Precisions.
Dawsons still have a mahogany/maple Precision on display in their Manchester (UK) store. I've just had a look at it, and it's signed and numbered at the back of the headstock (#4). They also have a numbered and signed wine red/rosewood Jazz Bass - (#47, as far as I recall).

I got a used Wine Red Jazz recently. I love it. Lightest Jazz I've ever owned. It looks lighter than it really is in these outdoor pics. I didn't put the tort guard on. I left the black one on.
Good call, the black actually looks better on this bass. Gorgeous, by the way, both of the trans Fenders here!
The ONLY way an electric solid body bass [or guitar] should be finished IMHO. Kudos to Fender for bringing these out!
I just bought a hand stained wine red FSR P bass. It has Fender Custom SHop 60's pups and graphite reinforced neck. It is the best P bass I ever played (30 years) and I don't give a fart what people say. The American Series sounds like heaven!! Best bass ever made.
Has anyone seen a real pic of the hand stain ones they have at GC? they look yellow! that must just be a bad pic. I think they made the yellow ones just for GC. I swear they had precisions and jazz but now I only see jazz bass.

Here's another pic of mine. Seems like Mr. Allen put less effort into his signature as the numbers rose:
Not all are signed and numbered....I have a mahogany P that is not signed. Doesn't change the quality of the bass which, as you know bu now, is excellent! Enjoy!
Search around on the forum.....someone around here has a natural stained GC edition P.....very cool bass.
EDIT: Found it.....here you go, natural stained GC FSR P bass: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f8/nbd-american-hand-rubbed-ash-precision-bass-902492/
Are these American Series or Fender Standards MIM? They are advertising these as only 150 for Europe, so maybe there are several versions - the ones here are hand stained in sort of cherry walnut.
