No love for charcoal frost?

[petrus61]

I really don't see many here on TB. I wasn't aware that this was actually a custom color offered by Fender in the 60's"

I really like this color! I was thinking of going with a Candy Cola with maple AmStd, but the Charcoal Frost (with a mint guard) is looking more and more sexy. Any love for this color out there or is it destined to wind up in the same bin Blizzard Pearl did?

One of my favorite colors. Looks even cooler aged.

Charcoal metallic frost is so sexuh!!!

One of my favorite colors. Looks even cooler aged.

Gets kind of a greenish hue to it. Looks great I think.

With a black pickguard this color is stunning.

Ooh I like that! Found my new color for my franken-p

I love mine! It had a white guard and I put a black guard on it so that it would fit in with the rest of my Fender family.

Great color for a Pbass...heck for any bass! Love those greenish hues with age.. Would look really nice with a pearloid pickgard too.

Wow I like that color! Mint gaurd is def sexy on it.

That's actually my favorite color on a bass or car. My project Fender P is mostly that color, and will be as soon as ambition returns.

And apart that on a Squier Vintage Modified Tele Precision I did a mix of what you got on charcoal frost's Jazz side (it's a basswood 3TS with a Fender WideRange in neck position and I added a black DiMarzio ModelP in the sweetspot right aside its black pickguard, wiring it V/V) your Jazz bass in charcoal is awesome, but like somebody else's said:
it's gotta be beautiful in both three ply black/white/black and perloid pickguard my friend!

Cheers,

Looks really good I think!

Hey, if you're into grays and gunmetal tones, it's awesome.

I agree! Here is my 2008 Jazz with Pearloid pickguard.

I'm a BIG fan of this color! I wish Fender offered it on their 5ers and fretless basses. Looks really good.

That is beautiful! I seriously considered the pearl guard intead of the black. Hmm. Maybe I'll order a pearl guard as well.

I specifically got this on my 08 Jazz because it didn't seem all that ubiquitous. The thing is, Sometimes I love it, sometimes I feel kinda "meh' about it.

Of course I had to get rid of the white PG. it looks much better with the black.

Win!!

This is a rattle-can frankenbass I built...very close to charcoal frost:

It typically looks a bit darker than that...sunlight really caught it in that picture.
