What happened to the American Elite Jazz bass guitars? They are nowhere to be found. Sweetwater, Sam Ash, Musician's Friend, Guitar Center - nobody is carrying them now. Was there an issue with quality control or production?

They'll be ready in time for Summer NAMM in Nashville June 23-25.
Also an exciting new bass amp may also be introduced.

The Elite basses will be available in the stores in late May/early June.

One reason for the delay is FMIC hopes the basses wouldn't have quality issues as the last incarnation of the American Deluxes 6 years ago.

PS: The single humbucker Dimensions are excluded from the new series.

Thanks for the responses. All the sites had the Elite bass guitars listed as: "Hot New Item" or "Arriving Soon" or "Order Now" or "Reserve Now" or whatever. What's strange is that now there is "nothing" of any mention about the basses at all on any site.
