Can I get a new MIA Fender P-bass with a natural body and maple neck?

New?

 

[James_B]

Yes

Check Fender's website for the current finish/neck combos available--I don't think they have Natural MIAs at all.

I do know that Fender Japan makes one or two. Look here:

So I would have to go with a custom shop one.

This makes me sad

Order from Ishibashi and get a MIJ/CIJ model. They are quality instruments and importing them in to Canada is affordable, plus you get what you want with out going to the Custom Shop.

I'm surprised they don't have a natural model in the MIA series Ps anymore. It's always been a great finish.

The closest you could get (staying local) would probably be the Butterscotch Blonde with maple.

I have a 2006 MIA Fender Precision in Butterscotch Blonde with a Rosewood neck. It's a beauty, but I certainly appreciate the appeal for the natural finish.

+1. Order from ishibashi.com or the site above. Even with shipping, it'll be a good bit cheaper than a new MIA P bass. Although I don't own any, Fender Japan's basses get a lot of praise around here.

They bring out natural models from time to time as they change available colors like car companies. Here's my '99 P-bass Deluxe in natural with maple. She's a "keeper"!

 

[James_B]

Fender Japan has some cool stuff but this is kind of my dream bass. I feel like I'm compromising if I go with Fender Japan. I'll wait to find one used or Fender puts out new ones.

Hello Bill,

Yes, it's taken me awhile to get back to this message thread...

I have the stock black pickguard. Great bass. I love how it plays and sounds.

I just picked up a '73 Precision in Natural/Maple. It's got a white pickguard and the ashtrays are still in place. I paid about the same amount as you'd be charged for this:

I also own a 2006 MIA Precision in butterscotch/rosewood. I really like the rolled fingerboard edges and the satin finish on the neck of the new bass, but that '73 has mojo and tone in spades.

I'm really digging the maple neck/natural body Precisions. I've been looking for one for a while but they aren't the easiest to track down.

Any problems or issues with ordering from one of these Japanese sites? They aren't the easiest to navigate. Any recommendations or advice about ordering?

I bought and sold the one that Iota showed here on TalkBass. It was a fine looking instrument, I just didn't like the neck profile.

My 2006 MIA in butterscotch/rosewood, and my "new" 1973 in natural/maple
