Only the P-Bass and 4-string fretted J-Bass are listed in the US website.

Are the Standards being replaced with a new series next year? Or is another decision to cut costs and save money?

I don't see the Standard Fretless Jazz, only limited colors on both the Jazz, and Precision. A Maple fretboard is shown only on a Black Jazz. And also as you mentioned, no 5 strings on any Standards.

Fender is working on a new Player series replacing the Standards this fall.

The new basses will have more traditional body radii and a host of new improvements.

That would certainly explain the thinning of the Standard Series.
