The Performer Bass has an incredibly skinny neck. I built one from a NOS neck and a body that have been butchered to take a Jazz neck.donnyII wrote: the performer is cool as hell. So is the katana. I have a katana and it rules. I want a performer/ performer bass.

Re: Is a mustang an offset?
For anyone interested, Daisuke from Ishibashi on the differences between the MG65-80 and MG65-86:
"As Fender Japan raised the prices on 1st September due to the price of
raw materials raised,MG65-80 was changed to MG65-86 regarding to that.
The spec has not been changed even the price was changed."

I don't understand why they couldn't just continue producing it with the name MG65-80.donnyII wrote: i guess that makes sense.
I guess they did it just so people think the price was raised because the product was improved.

The number after the hyphen is the suggested retail price in yen. They've used this scheme for some time on all their products, I only recently caught on to it.
Q. Are we not men?

yeah, but this time they introduced it as a whole new series on fender.com while they've been making them for three years already:fullerplast wrote: The number after the hyphen is the suggested retail price in yen.

Re: Is a mustang an offset?
I suppose it's a new release in the US, officially imported by Fender instead of privately bny individuals. I didn't even realize it had been out in Japan all this time. My last CIJ Mustang was the competition series in like '02 or so.

Re: Is a mustang an offset?
How long do they usually sell each re-issue guitar for?

The boring ones for about 10-15 years. The cool ones form japan, one year or so.
I prefer their older stuff.
