That bass looks great! How does she play/sound?

 

[DTF]

awesome , its been played its got some battle scars , but the sound is amazing, as is the feel, and its just a sexy beast

That blue with the tort guard is killer. I also dig the pickup cover...although I'd probably have issues with slapping on it. Looks classy though.

I dont know how to slap, but this is the bass to slap on, thanks for the kind words

I used to have one of those blue FSR Jazzes. Yeah it was a great bass.
But I liked the white guard on it.

*Borat voice* Very nice!

 

[DTF]

thanks guys

WOW that really is a beauty! Love the color combo. Ive actually come to prefer basses with the metal pickup cover because Ive become so used to it on my Carvin SB. I have no problem slapping it as I usually go pretty close to the neck. Nice score!

gorgeous bass, congrats!

I would have done a white, parchment, or white pearl guard, personally.

Bass still looks drop dead gorgeous.

 

[seungkoo]

wow I wish I thought about a tort guard! That looks amazing

That is a beautiful shot! The bass looks great, man. I love the blocks. The tort does work quite well. I normally don't care for pickup/bridge covers but having just the pickup cover makes this look great.

I'm jealous, man!

thanks for the kind words boys, It came with a parchment , and pearl white PG , I played dress-up with it and I think this looked the best ,out of the 3 , My girlfriend thinks it looks cheezy , but you have to be a bass nerd to appreciate beauty sometimes

Is that a poly or nitro finish?

 

[DTF]

poly its like a combo of all the 70's era specs , 70's pup spacing ,.22 mf cap, 3 bolt neck ,like the '75 RI ,but it has the early 70's logo and a really fast neck profile , I dont think LPB was ever nitro , or any metallic colors

Just curious, I honestly don't know much about paint. I just know that I like poly more than nitro because I'm not at all a fan of the "road worn" look. I like my finishes to last just about forever without wearing and tearing significantly.

What exact color is this, Lake Placid Blue or Sonic Blue?

 

[DTF]

its called lake placid blue , but im pretty sure fender doesnt care to remain consistent with their lake placid blue color , when you look at some they are a darker blue , this isnt green like ocean turquoise either its a lighter lake placid than im used to seeing ,exactly like the avri'62 jazz LPB like this
