i'd be pissed if somebody threw up on my bass. No offence to those who like it, but I can't ever see myself buying a bass painted like that. Unless it was blue instead of that yellowish-green colour I see....

 

[birdman14]

:O, I love antiqua! That p looks really nice. I wonder if these are just Mexican standards w/ special paint?

 

[JonKim]

Wow I'm getting one!

I'm not sure, but it looks that way. If it is, it's pricey, but I still would love to have one.

I remember a music store that I worked at had both a P & a J bass in Antigua in the early eighties... They were both new, they couldn't give them away. I didn't like them then, but Man, I really want one now!

We used to call those "snot burst". I always liked 'em.

 

[j.kernodle]

mmm.... boogerburst!

I think it's cool Fender is re-releasing some! And, at a lower price point. I'm lucky to have an original '78 P-Fretless, but might be tempted to get a new matching Jazz!

TAKE MY MONEY!!!


It is a shame they made it a mexican, that colour deserves at least Japanese treatment, that thing looks AMAZING!

If it were an American, well, I guess I'd be buying two basses this month I shouldn't have

Yeah but I bet the people who own the vintage ones, and probably paid out the nose for them becuase they're rare, are glad that there's only a new Mexican version. A new American version would probably diminish the value of the vintage ones.

...I love the snotburst.

 

[fettbass]

I want one of each! Looks like MIM, though.

 

[bigalbass]

Hmmmm. I was thinking of having a custom Antigua burst jazz made. I guess I'll wait and try one of these out now.

Scotch, I just realized why I was gasing to add a fretless neck on to one of these! Your 78 precision is absolutely gorgeous.

Fabulous!
Bravo Fender!

I would LOVE one, don't care where it's made.
It's just too bad that by the time I could save up enough money, they'll likely be OOP. However, since I'm planning on trying to save up for a new AM.STD. Fender P-bass anyway, this , if it's still around when I've saved enough, might be a viable alternative for me. Any ideas on how long these FSR's usually hang around?

I'm waiting for the bowling ball re-issues.
Whay years were they made?
Each instrument was really an original finish.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

I've always dug that specialty color. The 60's Antigua burst was more grey and the 70's was greener. The pics look more greyish to me, FWIW.

 

[Rip Topaz]

Almost had me. If it were USA, I'd be all over that.

 

[KyleSerlington]

did a google search and one place had a "comin soon" page for the basses and the P was at $750 retail. i'd consider getting one of these 'cause i always thought they looked pretty cool, but i'd like to see it and play it in person, but i also wouldn't be bummed if i missed out on it, especially because fender's been doing a bunch of special runs lately and i'm sure something cooler might come up haha

Looks like 70's spacing on the Jazz.
