If only! And with a Squier price tag, I might be in for one. A couple finish choices would ne nice, like a black-to-white fade.
No one seems to know what the scale length is. Looking at the pic, the strap pin looks to be around the 14th fret. That hints at being a shorty.
If it is a Player Plus it will be $1200. So it will be a Squier price tag, except its two Squiers.
That'll ruin it for me, then. There isn't a Squier guitar on Earth that I'd pay $1200 for.
Player plus is fender Mexico. He was using squier as a measurement
gonna be a rough month waiting, they might as well "drop" it now, cause TB ain't hold'n back now, 
Why don't you ask me yourself? It's not a dig. "Squier" is in the thread title...why?
Actually, I'd prefer it if this were an Indonesian Squier vs. an MIM Fender. The last new MIM Fender I bought - a shell pink Mustang PJ - has terrible fretwork. The basses I have from Indonesia have much better fretwork, especially my Sire U5.
Don't get worked up about it, I was responding to H K.... Squier is in the thread title because the OP wasn't sure what he was looking at, apparently, but suggested in was part of the Player Plus lineup. His link states "Fender / Squier" and that's prob why he posted it as such. Other posters have made clear it is an apparent Fender MIM PP Meteora. I'm not surprised you'd balk at the $1200 (my guess) price tag given that it is more than double what you'd value this as a Squier.
Glad it's real! Hoping it's 32" or30", or at least standard fender heel for a conversion neck.
and love the paint job, hope there is more than one unusual option though

I really like the Meteora body shape, and have almost pulled the trigger on the Meteora HH multiple times. I also love my Player Plus Tele for its smooth neck and rolled fingerboard edges. All this to say, I'm excited by this model!
However, I was wondering if anyone has any experience with Fender active pickups a la the Dimension bass. How do they compare to other active pickups of there? I've also heard some things about loud crackles and pops when the strings touch the pole pieces, so any insight would be much appreciated!

It' a MIM Player Plus series, no Squier.
This was leaked on another forum, grabbed from the Fender Dealer website. Coming in march, in all PP flavours (sunburst, silverbust and "modern Stratoburst" finishes):

Well, if it is indeed 'real', I guess I know what my second bass purchase of 2022 will be.
There's a lot of reasons for me to not want one of these, but I think they've all been cancelled out by the silverburst finish. Very, very tempting.
I just got some more info. Turns out its a 34". There is also different colors.
