It’s a Fender Player we all know these by now. The Pau Ferro is really nice but could be a bit darker. Feels great, sounds great.

Pics because that’s what we all really want:

Wait, wait, wait! Is that a new color option or has it been available for some time? I've been dying to own an orange Fender Jazz bass for a long time now, but with that price range it almost sounds way too good to be true!

Now if only it had a maple fingerboard...

I didn't realize the player series is offering capri orange. Do they offer a p-bass in the same color and where did you get it?
P bass is available in Capri Orange, Jaguar, too, from zZounds.
Nice to know they're finally bringing this color and Silver (available soon) to the Player line.
Funny...zZounds is selling them but neither color is showing up on the Fender site.

zZounds has them for preorder but I found this one on reverb. They have the estimated shipping date as 7/4/19. And they have the color for the P. Matching set maybe?

View attachment 3465501 I take mine out for spin every now and then, folks always like it especially when I play it during the day time... it’s a bit darker then the Player but it’s one of my favorite colors on a bass now!
That is drop dead gorgeous. Great pickguard choice.
 
I think it's because I first started really getting an eye for what basses look like when rosewood was considered a cheaper fretboard wood, but I personally dig the pau ferro look. It's underutilized these days, mind you; its natural beauty can often be further enhanced to a gorgeous degree with the right kind of oil treatment or stain, but I can see some purdy grains happening in yours as it is, and it complements that orange beautifully. Nice purchase!
