Blizzard pearl is definitely a nice looking color. It always reminded me of the pearl white that Cadillac uses. It goes from silver to white depending on the lighting/angle. I used to have a MIM P Bass in that color, and I swapped the white pg for a black pearl, and it really complimented the Blizzard Pearl. Congrats!

NBD-Fender Blizzard Pearl extravaganza
- Thread starter Road Hat
- Start date
I debated between rosewood and maple on my Jazz. The classic look would have been rosewood, but the vintage neck tint on the maple looks pretty nice.
I'm really digging the P-bass neck! I have large hands, and it just seems to fit just right. I can't wait to try it on the Jazz. Thanks for the picture - that is too cool!

Road Hat, see if the attachment will work for you in placing the PU cover holes. It is in PDF format, cheers.
Nice pair 'ya got there. Blizzard Pearl is one of my favourites. I am sucker for any of the "pearl' finishes. Very classy imo.
Wow, what a cool gesture! Thanks for this, I've got a large printer that can print out a template. Awesome, thanks again.
Nice pair, for sure! I bought an '08 Blizzard Pearl Am. Std. Jazz new in '08. What a great bass. I actually prefer the look of the maple board with the Blizzard Pearl, although mine is rosewood. It played and sounded so good that I couldn't pass it up. Mine is wearing a 3-ply B/W/B pickguard. With the maple board, I like the stock parchment or a white pearloid guard.
XXL, I couldn't agree more about the '08 American Standard Line. Jumped on mine as soon as they were released. It's really a superlative instrument.
Did you put an active preamp in yours? The blue light reminds me of the Fender Stratocaster VG. Most excellent pickguard as well! Is that a sticker or etching?
EDIT: Dig the tapewounds!

I know this is an old thread... But I have a question about Blizzard Pearl. I have a 2004 model Fender MIM deluxe precision special in "Blizzard Pearl", but it looks like a light gold, almost Champagne. I called Fender and ran the serial number, they verified it should be Blizzard Pearl. I checked under the pickguard, but it's still a shade of gold. Anyone else have a blizzard Pearl that appears gold-ish?
It really is a colour that seems to change and shift - are there any other colours that play tricks like this in the different kinds of light?
