Different bridge by first looks.

There's a truss Rod hole on the headstock, which leads me to believe these wont be Japanese, like the first Pawn Shop series.

I reckon maybe Chinese like the Modern Player series .... Just a guess though !!!

Well spotted!

The Pawn Shop Mustang has disappeared from the Fender website. Looks like they are replacing it with this "new" model.

>Â£600 is a lot to pay for a Chinese Fender though. The Modern Player range are more like Â£350.

I'm not sure.... I agree though !! Maybe Mexico is more likely.... like the Classic Player stuff.

Or perhaps that's full RRP, but then again it's up for pre order at that price. Hmmm.

I want to like these so hard, but there's just something off about them.

I could warm to that Mustang. The Jaguarillo and the Offset Special are just... odd. Offset Special is a little more palatable in black. Anybody know the scale length on the bass? I've been GASing for a modded Bronco bass, but it might give me pause.

Fender Pawn Shop Reverse Jaguar Bass in Candy Apple Red needs to be called what it is. SUPERSONIC BASS JR.

That's what I was thinking. othomas2 noticed the truss rod hole has moved to the headstock on the 2.0 version and rps-10 thinks the bridge is different. Guess we'll have to wait for the specs before we can see what else has changed.

WHY THE FUCK DID THEY DROP THIS ON US WHEN ALL WE WANT ARE 300 SQUIER'S ????

Agreed.

the headstock decals looks like those of the new Made in China Fenders. And if that's that case, these would be $400 and not $700.

Does anyone know the country of manufacture? or selling price? that pink thing is cool.

I was hoping that bass was a lefty until I noticed the controls.. I really really fancied picking up a righty version

UK pre-order prices seem to be Â£611. I've only found one shop advertising them as yet so that might not be set in stone...
