That color scheme is great, congrats on the new bass.

Is the finish on the left called "sable"?
I had a '76 Jazz that color with maple B&B neck, but I can't remember the name of that finish. Sahara? Sable?
My head hurts.

I believe it's walnut but some folks call it mocha.

awesome. My late brother had a '77/'78 Strat in the same color combo, it's that nice yellowish color now.

Very nice! Congrats! Clearly great minds think alike!!
It looks great - enjoy it.

I've had my '75 P for the better part of 30 years. Love it. I finally settled on tort.

Where'd you order that tort guard from? It has a nice mixture of brown and yellowish/off white, and nice swirl. I'm looking for one like that for my olympic white Jazz.

I had a few torts (yellowish or reddish) and wanted a darker one. This was a brand new Fender that I found on Reverb some years back and had to have. Being able to see the item made the difference - I looked at a lot before I grabbed it. Good luck! Getting the symmetry and swirl can be daunting. I must have 6 or 7 that missed the cut.
