Orange strings??? What won't they think of next???

Congrats! Are you going to get a matching J now?

Possibly if I can find a lightweight J body.

As someone who generally has a distain for mint green pickguards, I don’t mind it as much here. Fits the vibe!

Pure white often makes basses look super cheap for some reason so it’s probably a good compromise.

That being said, LOVE the orange; I love anything that hasn’t been overdone through the last 70 years or so.

Also the Fender high-mass bridges are the cat’s meow. I think it’s the same one that’s on my Fender Flea Active Jazz.

I tried red and brown tort, white, parchment, but I thought the mint looked best. This one is less of a mint color and fits in with the Capri Orange body just right

Agreed. That's why I replaced the white pickguard on the Stingray with white pearloid. I think it came out pretty well -

(Sorry to threadjack!)

I actually just recently weighed the Fender stock Players series, GOTOH 201B, KA, Omega BAII, and the new Fender high mass brass model. I was very surprised to see that the fender bridge weighed more than that hip shot kick ass bridge. The kick ass bridge looks way beefier and feels beefier but actually weighs less, not by much but it does.

I've used the Hipshot KA bridge on a few basses - hands down the best of the bunch.

The KA is a very nice bridge and I have them on a couple of my basses. If you need adjustable spacing they're the bomb. That said, I like the simplicity of the Fender high mass bridge. It's beefy simple, and just plain works on a Fender every time.
