I'm awaiting a Precision body with dual Jazz Bass pickups.

I'm a precision fan who hates Jazz Bass Bodies but understands that they have a sonic purpose!

It's getting a Warmoth Neck and an MJT body.

While I'm waiting - please share your Burgundy Mist Metallic anything. Basses, Guitars, Acoustics, Ukes, Cars, Etc. !

I worked at a Fender dealer then and lived these. I had bought sunburst one before these were announced. Sadly, it was my 2nd jazz bass that I didn't bond with. I didn't do matching headstock but it looks awesome.

2002 Fender FSR MIM. Burgundy Mist, exactly how they looked back in the day (except for the fancy knobs of course). You can't tell by these pics but the guard has a greeny hue, pretty much like the originals.

Nice Bass! What strings are those with the burgundy mist silks?:rolleyes:

Thanks!

Ha, they just look like that in the pic. A happy accident I guess, the silks are actually gray. The strings are an NOS set of Dean Markley flats that I had laying around for years....real old school thumpy sounding, a good match-up for this bass.

When I got the the bass it already had Hipshot tuners and a type "A" bridge, and DiMarzio stacked jazz pups installed (which you can see in the pic). I changed out the bridge for the Fender vintage style, replaced the Hipshot tuners with Gotoh Res-o-lites for better balance and a little less overall weight. I've since dumped the blah sounding DiMarzios for a pair of Fralin single coils. It kills now.
