Poll: The best Fender "Red" custom color...

[Fender_Bender]

No, it's a custom shade my luthier mixed up .

Interesting having the two different types of single coils. Will you have one of them RWRP to get some form of humbucking?.

I have a Fender Jazz body in Mystic Red for a build, it is a fantastic color. It looks much better than photos make it seem.

Actually, I am waiting for a Jess Loureiro scpb split coil pup from Spain atm from ebay, and was thinking getting a Dimarzio ultra for the jazz pup.

I have and love a Candy Apple MIJ P bass. But Dakota Red has always been the "I make no apologies for being in your face red" red. It's just the very definition of red to me.




Honestly though, you can't go wrong.

Mystic Red P-Bass with a black pickguard and rosewood neck. Looks like it sounds.

OXBLOOD, DUDE!!!!! I had a Squier P Bass in this color and the Tort pickguard-looked kinda like the Fender Troy Van Leeuwen Jazzmaster. Just a beauty.

Yeah, the Squier I owned was made in China and had a darker Gray base coat, which caused it to look almost black in dim light. Expose it to light and the paint had this deep, blood-red tint. Lotsa folks commented on it.

I voted Dakota, which is my favorite Fender red, but I was thinking: did they ever make basses in Dakota Red, other than a custom order (or Custom Shop offering)? I'm not sure if I've ever seen one.

I'm pretty sure my '68 Jazz is Dakota Red. This is its original finish. I'm no expert, so I could be wrong.

Wow, Fiesta red is in second? Yuck!

 

[SgtPepperYYZ]

Candy Cola is my favorite red

 

[smperry]

That's my favorite. Close to car but more.

I used to not like Fiesta Red. Then all of a sudden I did. Think it is cool the way it goes from pink, red, and orange according to how the light hits it.
It's definitely one of those colors you either like or you don't.
I blame Pino for changing my mind.
