NBD - Fender Shell Pink!

Sometimes colors and color combinations just work; that combo works! Even though it was over budget, it's a great looking bass and I think you will be very happy with it!
thanks dude! So far, no regrets! I’ve had some decent instruments before, but this bass feels so solid and high quality. I absolutely love it!
"I was innocently perusing basses"
...." Now I need to stop pursuing basses online!"....
So lately I have been fighting GAS and wanted to try something new. At this point I just play for my own enjoyment/relaxation so I was trying to keep my purchase to around $500-600. I was innocently perusing basses on the GC website...and I saw the listing. A Fender limited edition American Jazz bass with rosewood neck. The picture wasn't even up yet. I have always wanted a shell pink bass...but the description didn't mention color. But I had a feeling this might be the shell pink bass I have been I have been seeking! I gave GC a call and the phone line was down! After calling the store many times with no luck, I called the general customer service number. The service rep was great and confirmed it was the shell pink limited edition. The store manager then emailed me some pics and said the bass was is perfect condition!
However, the bass was still 2X my budget...dilemma? Nope. I bought it! As soon as I received the bass, all buyers remorse went out the window! I absolutely love it!

That IS a pretty bass, I like the headstock also.
That looks realy interesting to me and the perfect bass , if wanting to try something new. I might have done the same. What's teh weight though given the rosewood neck? ( Is the board glued on or is this a skunk striped neck?So lately I have been fighting GAS and wanted to try something new.

Very nice!
Aren't those all rosewood necks to die for? I have one on a limited ed. shell pink Jazzmaster and it's the cat's meow!
