NBD - Fender Player Jazz Capri Orange

[hufe]

Nice! Didn't know they made a Player Series JB in Capri Orange

Cool color, overall nice rig/setup!

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.

Dreamsicle!

Is the V-4B sitting on an Ampeg rug? How neat is that! Congrats on your awesome setup.

I have a friend that owns a music store.

I recently purchased my dream bass, for a ton of $. But I went out and ordered a player Jazz the next week because I don’t have a J in the collection. Gonna put Aguilar hum canceling pickups in her.

I am really liking the stock pups but know I could probably upgrade. Aggies are definitely on the list

Nice Sleep hat atop the orange stack too.

Saw them finally in Buffalo. What an experience.

Love the orange!

Lol!

MIJ custom fretless... love it!

 

[Yup]

How did you find that?!? I looked everywhere for an orange jazz before I bought mine. I ended up buying and sunburst and I love it. That is a beautiful bass though.

 

[slapshot]

A cream pg would look good on that.

I had no idea they were even coming out with the color. I was looking at the player series on zZounds and saw they had the color for preorder. I preordered a P but then did some digging on Reverb and saw a jazz come up in capri orange. They keep popping up one at a time on reverb and no P basses I've seen yet.

Love an Orange Bass. My Gretsch GL-5540LS is a vibrant orange

 

[Heavy Blue]

I wonder if they made it available in lefty cause that's gorgeous!

 

[Resonance129]

Goodness, I wish I'd known about that color before I got mine... That is gorgeous, especially with the tort guard..
Congrats, indeed.

 

[jamro217]

Yay!!! Beautiful!

Hi outoftune

Sorry for coming late to the party!

Orange =

This gets you an extra NBD carrot cake!

The Pau Ferro is really nice but could be a bit darker

Just oil the fretboard each time you change the strings. (I hope you play rounds )

It will become darker!

Boiled linseed oil works fine and is cheaper than the lemon oil they sell in guitar stores.


Have fun and happy (late) NBD!!!

How are you liking the Capri Orange after the honeymoon period? I'm curious and want a P in the same color.

I love it. Many compliments from people when I play out. The orange is rare enough that it catches attention.

Good to know, I'm in the process of horse trading with my local Fender shop for the P-bass.

i'm a sucker for orange - I wear it every day. Turns out this P-bass cousin is more than just a pretty face (and punches above its weight for playability and giggability)

I have big plans for mine: Wd music 1-ply Tort pickguard, Hipshot bridge, Gotoh tuners, and eventually new pickups (if I feel it's necessary). Since I only play high on the neck, I'm considering attaching an ashtray & pup cover.

Edit: is it just me, or is fender's pau ferro fingerboards looking better than about 2 years ago?
