Just saw an ad for this new Fender line. Is it just a new name for the player plus series?

New Fender Player 2 Modified Series

Oh, Player Plus replacement ....... but the Yellow PJ look cool ! Well match with yellowish maple neck. And no longer with sexy silver decal on headstock anymore,
Edit.
9.5 radius fretboard for Pj bass ? But the noiseless bridge J pup has no raise A /D magnet design , this will cause A/D string sound weaker than E/G. The Player plus seem know how where she has 12 ' radius fretboard.
Even my Charvel Pro Mod PJ has 12-16' compound radius fretboard, i still need raise both A/D magnet pole slightly ( Dimarzio Model J ) for best string to string output balance.

None one of them weight less than 9lbs.

In terms of bass, yes, they're just active players like the Player Plus used to be. For guitar, they actually added some new features like the Floyds.
Yeah. Where's our bass whammy, Fender???
Seems like it, but they now have a passive tone control which I think is a nice upgrade.

Yeah, that was by far my biggest complaint with the previous line. Seems like a strange thing to leave out, especially since others like Sire have been including passive tone controls on active basses for years while charging a lot less money. I'll definitely have to try these out once they hit local shops. All the necks on the Player Plus basses I tried felt outstanding.

The harvest green looks freakin nice. Wish they offered Jazz width nuts on the P bass, though…
No. There are small, but some might say important changes, and because it's a Fender instrument, obviously a lot of similarities, whether out of conceptual or corporate laziness, or keeping things, ahem... "familiar" for Fender bass players...
Didn't the player plus series have all these features? Three band eqs with the switch, high mass bridge, etc...
There is no mention of the nut width on either. What's the width of the P?
