I literally don't think I've ever gassed this hard. I'm finding a way to get a P5. Its happening.
I hear ya brother. I own an American std p-5 but those Squier p-5s sure look nice.
Oh oh, I'm feelin' a bit GASsy.
The cabronita bass is also growing on me... the fact that it has a C neck (per the spec sheet) and not the modern C is really tempting. Plus the early 50's headstock, maple on maple and the same pickup as the mexican model, really tempting.
If they had really wanted to make it groovy, the headstock should have been reversed (engineering and string choice be damned).

I just found this but don't have time to search through all the pages
Are these available in the US yet?!

MF listed the Cabronita as coming out in 2.5 weeks. Maybe the others will follow suit.
Well Fender makes a version for only $600 that's out now.

The Squier Vintage Modified '77 jazz bass is listed as "upgraded" for 2013: Invalid Link Removed
Maybe I am overlooking something, but the only upgrade I can see is the Fender designed pickups instead of Duncan designed pickups. Any clues of how they sound compared to each other?

strange that they're selling a 2nd hand model already. perhaps it was a demo Fender sent them?
The natural VM Jazz V (that's been out) is listed as unavailable on the MF website. I thought they usually listed as available and just put the date - or approximate.
Maybe they're doing that b/c of the Olympic White soon to join.
For owners of the Jazz V, do the specs look the same?

ooh me too. here's hoping they make more than one. I'd hate to have to fight you.
The same EXCEPT the new has a gloss neck, where the old has a satin finish. Plus the pickups on the old were Duncan Designed. I have NO idea what that difference will sound like, but I can tell you I like the DD's in mine.
im still in doubt as to which bass i should buy as my first because for £120.00 extra i can get a modern player 2.0 jazz... argh... decisions ha!
See that's why segmentation strategy was invented 
Covering multiple contiguous market segments facilitates consumer decision to add "just a little" to get "a little more". Marketing works

Ah, so there are some changes and that's probably why its no longer available. I do prefer satin (but can live with the gloss and some steel wool) and I had a 4 with the DD pickups and liked it.
Thx for the clarification.
