So on Andertons you can see the new CV Mustang Bass (available in Surf green and Olympic white) and Jaguar Bass (in Sunburst and Black). Also, a FSR edition of the CV Jazzmaster with Anodized pickguard.

Mustang Bass

Jaguar Bass

FSR Jazzmaster

I'm disappointed that they didn't make the Mustang Bass in Red (Torino or Fiesta) but used that crap tortoise pickguard on a plain white.

The gold/surf green combo on that Jazzmaster is making me feel some type of way, for sure.

I wouldn't have imagined this colour combo working, but it kinda has a 'ancient patinaed artefact' vibe to it, I quite like it

I really can't stand it. All the "premium quality" appeal, disappeared. I wonder who is the designer behind these aesthetic combo mix, who is charged to choose and realize them at Fender. Still, the Oly White Mustang Bass is a classic and quite nice but this version seems absolutely cheap and trash.

They could have used a decent brown tort pickguard (like on the rest of the CV series) but they have recycled some spare lasagna-like sheets from the old Vintage Modified series. Sad reaction only.

On Andertons the price for a Mustang Bass is £ 319 (almost € 350, more or less). But on Thomann they are available in pre-order for € 408. Why this difference?

Fuck man, $350 for the surf green bass or $399 for the surf pearl contemporary starcaster....or maybe $300 for the basic starcasters...Fender is finally pulling me away from the pointyass guitar brands

I just ordered one in Surf Green from this website, supposed to ship on 8/27. I bought my Ukulele from them a few weeks ago so they are legit.

They're the same company as Guitar Center, Musicians Friend, and Music123.

I should have known this. When shopping for my uke their sale price matched Target, Walmart and Best Buy but not MF/GC/M123 so I assumed they were independent. Oh well.
