Oooo!
That sounds sweet too... I'll take one of each please!
Actually, when (not if) the PS bass comes out, I'm guessing it will have the 50's style body and Tele type neck, but they'll go your direction with the pickup combo. Be nice if they offered it in 2-tone burst or a beat to hell cocaine/Olympic white or aged cream.
That's what I like about Fender. It's such a simple design, you can take it in twenty different directions and still not crap it up to where it's not playable.
Wish cars were like that.
I'm more interested in the other one (the 70's P-bass with what looks like (if I understand the code right) a natural finish and maple neck.
This thread brings to mind the old Simpson's episode where, at the end, the Stacy doll gets a new hat and everyone irrationally rushes to buy it...
"Everyone, its the same doll you all were upset with before!!!" "...But she has a new hat...MINE MINE MINE"
Oooo!

Bwahahaha! I blew coffee all over the monitor. ALLSUM!
I'm excited to see what this is...but I'm guessing I'll be disappointed with it. I'd love to see a "Pawnshop Jazz" with a neck humbucker from the tele bass. It'd also be cool if they did a PP Precision.
Do you think it will be 2 different basses or one bass in 2 finishes: 3T burst and natural?
It very well could be 2 basses. One PS in burst and a Classic 70's p-bass.
screw the pawn shop series buy yourselves a fullerton jazz or precision!

Personally, I'd love this to be a bass just like this '73 Tele bass but with a J pickup in the bridge position.

You may end up being the winner of this little exercise in Fender fanboy love.
I won't lie. I would LOVE a bass like that. Kinda makes me think of the Yamaha Attitude basses, with the mudbucker in the neck and the P in the normal spot. Maybe they'll have something cool like that.
am i the only one to wish for a simple classic 70s p-bass and not any weird bass designs??
You know, a US Std P-bass is very much like a '70s P-bass but with a slightly narrower neck and better construction. From any distance, they will appear identical.
I think the point of this new pawn-shop gimmick is to offer faux-modded basses that might or might be cool.
Example - a few posts back, someone posted a Tele bass and said they'd like to see a J-bass p'up in the bridge position... Well, back in "the day" we'd PUT A J PICKUP IN THE BRIDGE POSITION. I know, that seems utterly out of control these days...
But I think that's what Fender trying to make more money off of. I'm sure it will work - Fender puts their name on Guitar Hero controllers & cell phones and people can't seem to get enough.
