Triplebucker according to the site below. Sounds beastly!
Some specs listed for the guitars here but a lack of info on the bass models...

That jag is awful! I like the thinline tele with p90s, the jag bass is ok, and I like the marauder cos I have such a hard-on for lake placid blue.

That Jazz in trans Black with Humbuckers!

I think the used prices on this stuff will be pretty good so I'm going to wait it out.

Wow, when they finally bring back the Marauder they do it wrong.
But on a different note, DAT TELECASTER BASS.

Tele plus may happen. I had a Nashville Deluxe and dug the three pickups...I imagine a humbucker bridge could be fun. Also the dual p-90 tele is alright with me. I've just always hated the electronic setup of those guitars. I want one volume one tone!

remember that fender lies all the time about colors it offers dont get your hopes up it actually looks good... too good....

Fender must be telling the truth for once because Musician's Friend is listing that Trans Black as "In Stock".

You'd think a budget line would love to push the fretless. ;0

But then they actually have to use good wood.

Never stopped them on the Squiers and most of the MIMs.
They usually play alright but ugly is par for the course.

Or ebonol like they have in the past.
In case anyone hasn't noticed, they are not all $399, they START at $399. That tele bass is $599

Price points start to make a hair more sense, I was trying to figure out how many guitars Fender could cram in between the Classic Vibe Squiers and the MIM standard price point.
