Quick Question About Factory Direct Buying - Fender

I'm planning to buy a new bass directly from Fender via their website and am curious if they will send me a NEW model, like a 2018 or better?

Or will they just grab whatever they have lying around?

I've never bought directly from a manufacturer before, so I'm not sure how it normally works.

Figured I'd ask here since getting email back from Fender in the past took a long time.
