I wonder how the lavender affects the tone.

WHY Fender??? WHY?

They don't publish numbers, but Fender is apparently making about a half billion in revenue every year. So whatever the reason why, it seems to be working out for them.
None as far as I can see.
I might put in an order. I'd want to change the pickguard though.

Matching headstock, too? Man, that’s awesome. Wish it had an extra string.
I’m curious what they mean by “equipped with a special circuit modification to unlock tonal options otherwise not available with standard wiring. ”
BUT...No self respecting company would take anyone's money to create such an atrocity!
Perhaps a bit ironic that the bass in your avatar appears to be a similar color? I do understand that it's due to lighting, but still.
I am sure plenty of people will think the lavender haze looks nice. Far less garish than some basses I have played.
1. Stacked knobs sound a lot different than a VVT setup.
2. Unusual color.
3. You need the whole set

Fender Player II Jazz Bass Lavender Haze
The Jazz Bass has always been Fender’s more refined low-end machine—sleeker lines, a narrower nut, and an unmistakable mid-century silhouette that feels as modern today as it did in 1960. In our CME Exclusive Lavender Haze finish, that sophistication gets a new sheen: a soft-smoldering amethyst...www.chicagomusicexchange.com
It seems very similar and like a newer version of the Flea bass I already have. That color (and matching headstock) will appeal to many that like purple basses.
Young people prefer instruments in interesting and solid colors. Supposedly there's no taste for sunburst (which I have seen them call "boomer burst") or natural finishes among that set, which to them look very dated.
They will sell every last one of these I'd bet.

I’m livid…a narrower nut compromises my manhood. How could they? Cool color, though.Why do we need this?

It's not for me, but I'm glad they made these. The people who like this color are going to love them. Good job, CME.
