NBD...Coming on Friday

[Dave Leighton]

I should have waited until Friday when I had it in my hands, but i couldn't.

I've been eyeing these Fender Rarities J's for a while now and I just couldn't take it anymore.

Here are a few pics from the seller. I'll post my own on Friday.

I love the bound dot neck as well.

I love the bound dot neck as well.

I've always loved block and bound necks, but this one really stood out with the ebony finger board.

Agreed - that’s what makes it.

That thing is gordeous! Fret not with Sweetwater. About the only one I would order a guitar or bass from online!

Freaking awesome

That's one of Fender's best offerings to date. I love how it's essentially a 60s J with unique features like that top, and a dotted bound neck. Post some sound clips!!

Nice looking.

 

[Dr. Cheese]

I played a Rarities Jazz. It is a very nice bass!

 

[spantini]

Beautiful!

If no one can say what this factory color is, I'll make one up : Tequila Sunrise

I normally don't care much how basses look, but that's an eye-popper. Almost boutique looking .

Congratulations on a sweet looking bass. You can never go wrong with a JB. That woodgrain and trans burst is to die for! Simply beautiful.

And I really like the bound neck with dots. Always liked the look of the binding on a JB. But I never cared for the block inlays. I always felt they were too large and distracted your eye from the sleek lines and overall look of a JB. I often wished they’d just do elegant understated dots instead.

Well, now they have! Life is good.

 

[Liko]

Wow ,I get it

Yep, definitely understand. Not my personal cup of tea (I prefer a darker start to my bursts; this is a little too tequila sunrise), but man will that be a player.

Sweetwater: Love the free candy, hate the follow up phone call three months later to "check in".

Yes, I got an Ashdown CTM100 from them a few years back that arrived with an issue. They sent a replacement along with prepaid postage for the return immediately. Great customer service!

Beautiful!

Between the bound neck and that gorgeous finish, I would say it appears you have chosen my dream bass....If only it was a P!


Nice find though! Hope you enjoy it!

Looks like LAS (Light Amber Sunburst) to me.

I have a MIJ Classic Series in the same color.
