Hey there Gang,

Has anyone heard any rumors of the possibility of this bass coming into existence? I own a JBass Deluxe now with 4 strings, but a 5 string Deluxe P would be an awesome addition to the collection!

Thx,
FenderBen

I don't think Fender would release a USA Deluxe P-Bass V. They did one in 1999 and stopped its production in 2007 after performing a few cosmetic changes in 2002, 2004 and 2006.

Put me down for an order for a USA 5 string deluxe. 2 color sunburst, with a rosewood neck, with a "P" and a "J" pickups.

Anybody else ??????????

I have an American Standard Precision 5 that's a great bass. How would a DeLuxe P5 differ from my P5?

If you can't tell by now, i'm not really a Fender guy, but I think that's changing.

The Deluxe has a N3 Jazz Bass pickup in the bridge position, a 21-fret compound radius fretboard, strong arm retainer bar and the best of both worlds: an active 3-band EQ powered by an 18V supply and an active/passive toggle switch with a regular tone control for the passive mode.

+1
+2 if a natural or "honey" finish is available!

Of course, the Active/Passive switch would have to be there. And then you can take my pre-order right away!

There wasn't a MIA DLX P5 in Honey Blonde. Fender did a MIA Deluxe Strat V-Neck finished in that colour in 2004.

The bass you're talking about featured an ash body finished in Butterscotch Blonde. It was discontinued in 2006/07.

Don't expect from Fender to release a "new" 5-string MIA Deluxe P so far!
