Very beautiful but is this really a Jazz Bass though? What makes a jazz bass jazz bass? 2 pickups in correct placement is a must imho.
This is a P with Jazz neck? Or is It a Jazz Bass If Fender said so?

Are there any other colors for this model?

I would think the offset body (think the Mark Hoppus signature model) but ultimately probably just the Big F said so.

This Jazz bass came out around the same time as Fender's.

Other than that, here's a link if someone wants the new Fender.
Available February!
Not sure if it will be Europe only, but it's over $1,500.

I like that this one uses the gotoh oval tuning machines instead of the hipshots used on clayton and american vintage ii 1966 basses.

I gotta’ say, it’s been a LONG time since Fender came out with a new bass that I interested in, but this just put an end to that. That thing is beautiful!

I just checked my local GC. Sadly, none there.

Sweetwater has sunburst

This one, for some reason, has a black headstock. Odd.

Hey, Fender, why no Shell Pink?

 

[gwangi]

Anybody know if there are other finishes besides Sonic Blue or the burst finish at Sweetwater?

 

[C Stone]

I’d be seriously interested in shell pink…

Hmm…$1,300 for MIM? It’s a beautiful bass, but not that beautiful.
