Does anyone know if there are any changes, ie. features, colors, etc. planned for the 08 version of the Power Jazz Bass?

I have the answer to my own question. I recently bought a power jazz bass from a hugely popular internet music store (it's initials are M. F.). The instrument arrived and it was apparent that this was a return item someone had shipped back to M.F. They in turn shipped it to me after ripping off the original shipping tags and re-taping the box closed. Upon initial inspection this 2 tone sunburst was beautiful, however the plastic removable pickguard covering was heavily scratched, and it looked like someone had sneezed on it near the bottom. I wiped the instrument down and didn't see any scratches or nicks on the finish, and plugged it in. After striking an open E, I started moving the controls around and discovered that the outer control on the knob on knob freewheeled in a 360 degree circle, and was obviously non-functional. I called M.F. and told them that they sent me a return or blem, or whatever and that I wanted to return it, and they agreed. I asked them to ship me a new one, as that is what i expected to receive the first time. I was told that there are no more 2 tone sunburst power jazz basses available as this is a discontinued model. I wish I had known that before I placed the order. I would have hoped that the fender moderators could have provided a little insight or advice, but that didn't happen. Do any of you fender bass players have an opinion of the highway one or the Jaguar bass?
