List Fender "lines" in order of...

[B-Mac]

Yes! Later, I'll start a new forum with that list. Everyone can then cut and paste each Fender-named "line" in order of quality in relation between a cheap knock-off and a custom shop Fender-shaped bass.

No model years on that list?

There are some artist signature basses made in America - the Tony Franklin fretless certainly is.

...and Geddy Lee and Roscoe Beck

Ha ha, I’d like to see them rename the “Squier” brand to “Precision by Fender” I think that would really help clarify things

So a Squier Jazz would become "Precision Jazz Bass by Fender". Yeah, that's the ticket.

The concept of "road-worn" Fenders always struck me as bizarre. Basically, it means that Fender is making fake Fenders. That may be a genuine industry "first".

I have to admit, I do find it odd when sellers offer / buyers ask for, a price reduction due to genuine wear, on used "Road-Worn" instruments.

29. American Deluxe Precision Bass (1995) my 1998 model has a MM humbucker at bridge. I think they went to jazz pickup about 2004. Has Jazz nexk and slightly smaller body. Great P bass.

I’d like to know which models you don’t have to remove the neck in order to adjust the truss rod…

70's Jazz Bass with bullet truss rod.

How much memory do all


You‘ve made mistakes!
For example: you forgot the first US made reissue series, starting in 1982 with a 62 Jazz and a 62 Precision, later in the 90s a 75 Jazz was added!
You got the AVS I series that replaced the US reissue series in 2013 all wrong. The 64 Jazz, the 58 Precision and the 63 Precision were introduced in 2013, not 2008!
Everything is falling apart!

Calm down Chicken Little - it'll be okay.
