WAY less options and higher prices.
No more vintage style basses or blocks on necks... less colors overall.
Way to go, Fender.

Well, here's the Fender mod shop. I checked out a Jazz bass. 2 new colors and higher prices. Lame. https://shop.fender.com/en-US/mod-shop/ |

Ick. I guess they weren't kidding when they said to hurry up and order your existing designs. |

Well, at least the massive decrease in options are across the board and not exclusive to lefties. There's a first for everything, I guess.

Yeah, really lame. I'm in the window-shopping market for a Strat, and with those prices I can get a Suhr, for example. . . And on basses you can no longer select a Jazz-width neck on a P-Bass. . . Oh, well, at least we have Carvin to fill the sub-$2000, semi-custom niche. |

For $1800 you can get yourself a well-appointed G&L MJ-4. |

I don't even see an option for ash or a natural finish. Next... |

I think this was a good move on Fender's part. ...if their aim was to drive business to G&L.

So yeah, gonna just go ahead and stick with G&L I've seen Fender reply to several posts on Instagram, Facebook, etc that they are heading toward international shipping with this. That being said, I haven't seen ONE positive reaction to this Mod Shop bullshit yet. |

I only like that they added daphne blue to the list. And surf green. Added 2 nice things and killed 15 other options. Plus even more expensive. |

Only positive reaction I can order a passive jazz through this. Kinda mad at G&L for taking away out passive jazz option. |
