Just curious. Is the upgraded '59 Bassman RI (lacqured pine cab etc) the only current 59BMRI?

I was going to ask the same think, it's not on Fender's site anymore. The new '57 Twin isn't, either, though.

Yes, it has been discontinued. It might be a good time to pick one up at your local big box guitar store.
