Because Fender Japan already did it and it didn't sell that many.

They've made TWO in Japan.

A Bass VI re-issue and the much more affordable/available Jaguar Baritone Custom/"Bottom Master"

i thought the jag baritone and bottom master were two different guitars? the one pat had wasn't a bottom master. not entirely sure of the differences, mind... i could google it but i can't be fucked.

yeah, wasn't the baritone like a baritone version of the jag HH? can't be bothered to google either.

In 2006, Fender USA changed the name of the instrument to "Jaguar Bass VI Custom" in order to tie it more closely with its Bass VI heritage, and also probably to differentiate it more from the modern baritone guitar, which is usually tuned B-B (in between the tunings of a standard guitar and a bass).

hmm. not all that different, but still an extra model.
