New guitar models were recently added to replace the '57, '62, '70s Strats, '62 Custom Telecaster, Jazzmaster and Jaguar. Unfortunately there aren't new AVRI basses yet.

I've posted a thread concerning a new bunch of American Vintage P-Basses which replace the existing '57 and '62 reissues. Now it's the turn of the iconic J-Bass to deserve an overhaul to round out the revamped AVRI series.

For the instance three J-Bass models are chosen to replace the '62 and '75 reissues: the stacked knob '61, the bound dot-neck '66 with paddle tuners and the '72 featuring a bound tuxedo maple neck with black binding and blocks, bullet truss rod and a 4-bolt "F" neck plate.

What do you think?

I was actually thinking about this very topic last night. I think they'll probably expand their Vintage series at some point down the road to include Jazz & Precision basses, but that being said they pretty much have already nailed it with the American Vintage '62 jazz bass & P bass, the American Vintage '57 P bass. the MIM '60's Jazz bass, '50's P bass , the 60's Road worn jazz bass & Road worn '50's P Bass all have that vintage vibe.
not to mention artist models like the Sting Signature P Bass & The Jaco Fretless.
Guess we'll have to see what Fender has planned.

While I'm sure there will be more new bass models, there will be more guitar models. They patronize the guitarists and ignore us.

Yeah & the new Select line of Guitars & basses are a good example as there's a P bass & a Jazz bass, 3 x Telecasters & 2 x Stratocasters....& you just have to go to the Strat section of the Fender website & check out the options & many models ......nuff said

I'm Just praying for a 65 Bound/Dots, Matching Headstock, Lollipop Tuners...

Fender Custom Shop 64 Jazz Bass Relic - 2007

I don't mean to be4 a stickler for detail, but If Fender wants to be accurate, the bound neck with dots has to be a '66 Jazz and the '72 tuxedo with bullet truss rod has to be a '75.
Those are the earliest years for those features. I know they will call them anything they want to.

I can only offer my opinion backed up by the facts I think I know.

There's so much emphasis on rehashing Fender's glory era of the 50's 60's & 70's...no problem there as I love those Fender era's but I'd like to see something a little different like those Jazz Specials & power Jazz specials from the mid 80's ..I know some people will say the Duff McKagan P Bass special covers that era (a P/J setup with a Jazz neck & Precision body with black hardware) but not really in my opinion as there are no color choices other than Pearl metallic & it's not a Power Jazz Special... this model is a passive Jazz Special.......& why did they get rid of the Victor Bailey Jazz bass ? I thought it was a cool yet different looking Jazz Bass.... anyway I dygress.......(I think thats how you spell it? )

Perhaps a "Boner"?

ME LIKES!!! Nice Bass!! Yes..
