Is Squier coming out with anything new in 2018?

Who cares I have a holy grail Squier already!!
I'd like to see Squier make short scale P and Jazz basses that take standard pickups for easy mods.
Squier Modern Player Short Scale.
Like the Fender version, only less expensive.
I'd be all over that.

The holy grail actually comes in sonic blue, but that’s still a nice bass.
my wish is a squier jazz
seafoam green
tort guard
rosewood board

Because it doesn’t take a lot of money to make a good bass , regardless of country of origin. Fender mostly sells their standard traditional models. If they do anything new that is too far from standard, it doesn’t last long .
The factory that was making the Classic Vibe jazz and precision basses did too good of a job. The entire line disappeared . Makes no sense to drop a line of basses that was selling like hot cakes. The only explanation is that people like myself realize that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to get a good passive jazz or precision bass.
The Classic Vibe 60’s P gives me everything I need to achieve that classic Motown , Pino vibe. No need for me to spend more for a Pbass with flats .

I hope you're right.
Several of the largest MI companies in the US show that they're no longer available,
but AMS says you can pre-order and they're due in Sept. 11, 2018:
Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar Bass Special SS Rosewood Fingerboard
I think new Squier basses are normally announced in the summer? - not sure though.
I haven’t seen anything new from Squier in years. The line continues to dwindle down to fewer and fewer offerings. They stopped doing Signature models all together.
The James Johnston Jazz, Matt Freeman and CV 60’s Precision’s are the best Squiers I’ve ever encountered .

I prefer the Pino Vibe. I’ve got the sonic blue covered elsewhere .
There are certainly a lot of French on this thread. This is for all you English types.
There will likely be a slew of new offerings after new contracts are drawn up with foreign manufacturers. R&D takes a while.
I can’t figure out why there was no offering of basses in the Squier contemporary line.
Some designs similar to the Fender modern player series would be great. Maybe with some matte finishes.
I’d love a p bass with a fat humbucker instead of the typical split single.

There is a Matt Freeman and a James Johnston Jazz and a CV 60’P(INO) all listed in the classifieds right now .
Cream off the crop of Classic Vibe Squiers!!
