American standard jazz color search. Help!

[jimmyb]

Roughly 15 or so years ago Fender had a certain silver (kinda gun metal) finish on their American standards. I had a jazz that came stock with a tort guard.
Can anyone help me with the name of the color?
Pics if you got them.
Looking to pick up an American standard Jazz from that era in that color
Thanks

Blizzard Pearl or Jade Pearl on the old American Standards from 2008-2011?

My '08 Blizzard Pearl looks like silver to me.

Yeah I used to have one exactly like yours and found the colour shifted dramatically under different lighting though, lovely colour.

Jade Pearl may be what OP is reffering too. I think was the 2012-2016 run actually.

Has a sort of green hue.

Gun metal grey? Was stock on P and J 2008 - 2012. Here’s my P

I’d like to see Charcoal Frost & Blizzard Pearl side by side. I’m thinking Frost is a little darker than Blizzard.

Throw in Inca Silver & Jade Pearl. Kinda like Sonic & Daphne Blue / Surf & Seafoam Green.

slight variations in color make an immediate difference to an individual’s preference,

Chevrolet Corvettes had 2 similar oranges in 2000 teens. Atomic Orange & Daytona Sunset. Same deal one was lighter than the other but close.

Charcoal is MUCH darker, I had a strat in Charc Frost back when I played guitar.

This is the exact bass I am looking for

I hope they bring back these types of colours for the American Pro III line (or whatever they decide to name it).

So much better than the options available new today.

Worth noting that you can get Jade Frost, Charcoal Frost or Inca Silver (might also be up OP's alley) through the Fender Mod Shop. Not crazy customizable but similar to the Am Std Jazz. About another $100-$150 over Am Std depending on options.

Yes, but it was definitely a green tone. Specifically, it was a glossy, metallic medium-green with faint gold filings mixed in. I had one and loved it, but had to tragically let it go, otherwise, I'd still have it. When I get the chance, I'm planning on refinishing a parts-bass body in that color. That, or one close to it. (Subaru's "Autumn Green Metallic" is pretty close.)

I used to search for Charcoal Frost basses on Reverb every once in a while. Not affiliated in any way with this but:
Warmoth P Body with JJ Pickups 2021 Charcoal Frost Metallic | Reverb
Looks cool, besides the tuners, gotta have regular fender shaped keys.
I think a while ago Fender Japan had a Hybrid 5 string that came in Charcoal Frost that I remembered seeing and kind of wishing I bought. This color is on my short list if I were to ever have something custom built for me. I like it a lot.

 

[Mike Vee]

That's actually an original custom color from the 60s

Nice bass! I had the Blizzard Pearl Jazz Bass from 2011 and also let mine go in a moment of stupidity.... starting to regret it now.
