I figure for 3 Gs, and presuming a limited run, kind of like the 66 Strats they did, then they have a good idea of the success potential for this. From a manufacturing standpoint, with almost every part being off the shelf already, it really is a no-brainer/no-effort bass for them. The main differences are no contouring (so less labor) and throwing a piece of maple in the mix instead of rosewood (a wash as far as labor). Lollipop tuners and a 64 decal? Peanuts. It is like selling a 62 reissue P for twice the money. Considering how many people would want this bass - myself for one and I haven't bought a new bass since the 80s - they will move them to the market they know is out there.
