Why does a P-Bass have a Jazz Bass decal on the headstock? And no, I haven't played one. Fender's Custom Shop and I aren't exactly on speaking terms these days...

Perhaps, because it has a jazz neck, per the link text.
I like the compound radius quatersawn neck feature. Curious to see what the street price will be . If it's shielded and what the ax will be.

I don't know about down south but around these parts LUSH is a chain of soap stores. I thought they were getting into basses...
A bass for alcoholics, idint?
Well, they can call it a Jazz bass, I guess. It's their baby. But for how long has a split coil pup in a Fender been known as a Precision and on that body shape? Uh..cough..exactly how long? A Fender Jazz bass is a Fender Jazz bass is a Fender Jazz bass. A P with a slimmer neck is a P with a slimmer neck. I don't own the company so again, they can call it a Jazz bass ( 
), I guess. It's their baby. I hope it plays well and delivers the solid...uh...ahem...er... PRECISION sound.
I must say on first glance, my first thought was...butterscotch anemia.
Caveat: no Fender hate here, so chill. Should have my Fender Precision Lyte delivered within the next 3 days!!!! Hey, I know---I can call it a Jazz bass because it has a more slender neck than a regular P! Now gotta get a Jazz decal.
And my first bass I bought brand new in 1972--a white Fender P!
Oh.. POSTModern. Hmmm...let me think on that word. Yeah, lemme think about that hidden lil' contradiction in that word. Actually prefixing "post" onto "modern",<rubbbing chin > strictly speaking, would make it "futuristic" by definition..hmmm...<rubbbing chin again>...hmmm
OK...rant done....

I assume that Fender CS apparently wanted to have only one bass in their Postmodern line, so they fused a Precision body and pickup with a Jazz neck. If the neck had a Precision decal the whole fusion thing would be absent, at least optically.Well, they can call it a Jazz bass, I guess. It's their baby.

Lush is a string of shops in the UK that sells soaps and bath stuff. Will this bass start fizzing if I throw it in the tub?
I want to like the bass OP posted more, but I keep thinking 'so what?' the more I look at it. Is the bridge a reissue of a clunky '80s high-mass design? It doesn't sit well with the general 1957 aesthetic of the bass.

I think the idea is to marry some of the appointments of a 57 with the more modern updates of the higher mass bridge, A string tree, lighter tuners with slanted posts, and the jazz width neck. All of which I like. However I would not have stopped there. I wish they would have included either a bullet trust rod or hex wheel at the base of the neck for easy trust rod adjustment and garanteed weights coming in at negative 9 lbs.
That copper penny color is fantastic, although i'm not sure the anodized pickguard is the best match for it.
Are the "narrow jumbo" frets the same that are mounted on current American Pro series? Even though i'd rather have vintage frets on a passive Fender CS bass...
And yeah, they should really adopt the wheel truss rod. In my opinion, this should have had an higher priority compared to changing the bridge (unnecessary to me, the traditional vintage style bridge has always served me very well)
