2013 Fender Goodies: everywhere but here?

Fender Pawnshop series Bass VI with matching headstock.

Return of the Supersonic.

Pawnshop Mustang Bass w/ mudbucker.

And with competition stripe.

And I'm not really sure what this is.


So all the other forums seem to be talking about these, and some abortions of Jazzmasters in the "Select" series that are best not mentioned further . . .

But nothing here yet that I had spotted. Have at it!

ehhhh
The BassVI is neato. Also that mudbucker needs to be moved forward a few inches.

Also that mudbucker needs to be moved forward a few inches.

Also Bass V reissue or GTFO.

Truth. Mudbucker neck and a Mustang split-coil in the middle would be sweet.

Bass VI, SOLD. Although why couldn't they just do a vintage-correct one?

Matching headstock on the Bass VI, guys.
MATCHING HEADSTOCK.

It looks like it would be easy to swap pickguards and add a normal Bass VI pickup in the bridge. Not perfect, but they're getting somewhere.

This. It's some humbucker in Jazzy clothing, too, and I DESPISE S-S-H guitars.

WUGH SOOOOOO CLOSE

I can understand the pickguard choice on the bass VI, but that horizontal selector switch and jazzmaster pickup make no sense.. at least it wouldn't be hard to fix.
The 2012 japanese RI looks way better but once you convert the currency and factor in shipping it'll end up costing nearly twice as much..

The supersonic looks awesome though.

WUGH SOOOOOO CLOSE

Fuck it, i need almost all of them.
BassIV and another Supersonic for sure. Maybe another Mustang would be really cool.
I start saving today. Shit.

MOST DEFINITELY THIS!

Also, the return of the Supersonic is AWESOME news. My guitar player used to have one, and it was a BEAST.
