Hey all:
Just picked up this 2012 MIA Jazz, Charcoal Frost, and made a couple of aesthetic Mods:
Pearl Guard vs. Std white
chrome knobs vs Black
And my "signature" Chrome thumbrest
What do you think???

I was pleased that the gray is a great match to the body.
It beats the look of the Plain White Std. rest. And it is genuine Fender part so the fit was perfect.

Looks great! | Same here on the black pearl, and even one step farther, I generally don't like chrome knobs on a Jazz. But your bass pulls both these off very well. Nice looking Bass!!!

I've finally mastered the bass, does anyone know what those other 3 strings are for?

|  | "Where do we find this...AGENT?" | | Join Date: Dec 2011 Location: Seattle, WA | | | Charcoal Frost metallic is one of my favorite finishes, because it almost-not quite, but kinda-sorta takes on a purplish hue (to my eyes) in contrast to the maple fretboard. I love the black pearloid PG and nearly-camouflaged thumbrest. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
