Thanks for the tip about it being a possible tip-off. How much longer after the Jags went on clearance did the get discontinued? Was it months, or at the end of the year?

I see that GC has the Mustang listed as "Clearance". Wasn't that the first sign (along with a new Squier line) that the Jaguar bass was on the way out?


could just be old stock. The local music store by me sold an active Jbass for $499 to move it cuz it's been sitting for over 9 mos...

Haven't heard anything about that, but it would sure suck. It can very well happen, however. If I were to bet on it, I'd say that sooner or later Fender will stop selling the Mustang Bass, but I have no idea when.

They've just stopped selling the fiesta red one with pearl pickguard at the start of this year, I got a notice shortly after I placed my order for one and it said red model discontinued, pick one of the other available colors: vintage white.

I say 80-85% chances the Mustangs move to Squier all together in 2012 and only about 15-20% they'll keep the dual Fender & Squier lines going together.
