I can't find the purple Fender

A while back I saw a Purple TINT Fender. I can't remember if it was a P or J, but it had a black pickguard and gold hardware.

I've done a search, no luck. Can anyone find it? I have serious GAS for a parts Fender P and I want to use this for some inspiration.

(Yes, I know I've always hated Fender P's, but I think that's cause I usually hear J's and the only two Fender P's I've played were set up badly. I listened to some P's on YouTube that sound phenomenal)

Lol fine, incorrect English... 'dislike' haha. I played my friend's Deluxe P through an Ampeg amp and it sounded killer. I had always played it through his Line 6 Lowdown and he doesn't like his settings changed. I must say, both his sound and bass are setup bad haha. So when I got to use the schools Ampeg, then I got to control the sound.

Plus, there's just something about the aesthetics... it's like the flagship of the bass kingdom.

See that's a PURPLEEEEEE bass haha. The one I saw may have been a Warmouth, since I think it had a wenge neck.

The purple is a transparent tint that definitely lets the wood show through. Very dark, rich purple.

I saw the bass on TB, but I can't remember where.

You mean the Ventures Jazz?

It comes stock with a pearl pickguard/control plate all in one piece.

I think Imma get a P and get a Wenge neck.

The colour scheme should look something like this after I'm done, but with gold hardware:

This is the only P I could find that came close to what I wanna do:
