anyone have a sage green metallic Jazz?

I bought my MIA Jazz used from a small guitar shop that folded a few months after i bought it

When I bought it the guy told me it was Inca Silver
and until now I believed it to be Inca Silver
I was perusing the web to look at what else? basses of course and I saw a sage green metallic Jazz that looked kinda like mine
I wish I had a digital camera that worked so I can take a pic of my bass .... but now I am in doubt if I do have an Inca Silver Jazz
Does anyone here have either a Sage Green Metallic or Inca Silver Jazz to show pics of???
My bass is in an identity crisis
It still rocks tho!!!!!!
 
They are very close colors, and depending on the light, I can see where you are having trouble. Get one of those blue lightbulbs that is supposed to show true color, and see if that helps decide. Of course, nothing is better then sunlight.
 
I had one....sold it to a fellow TBer. Here is what it looked like:

Yellow fury I joined here just to answer your question .I sawA jazz bass in a 1997 bass player (the one with Rocco Prestia on the cover. the article stated the jazz shown, was inca silver some years later when buying an american jazz, i looked for inca silver and was told by a rep from fender , that it was discontinued , and that it had a tinge of yellow .I got a chrome silver instead, but everyone that sees my bass and the picture of the inca one , say it is the same .I have seen chrome silver on the Fender web site, and it looks more blue than mine, which actually has a platinum tinge hope this helps .
 
That Sherwood Green that Lakland used on their limited run is by far, my most favorite solid color for a bass. If I could have a 5 string jazz made (Sadowsky or Fender) in that color with a maple fretboard, white perloid block inlays, and matching headstock, I would be one happy camper.
