Shell Pink vs. Dakota Red vs. Burgandy Mist

[Chrisk-K]

I love the tone and the feel of my 2018 Fender American Professional Jazz (black, maple fingerboard). I am not in love with its black color. So, I plan to get a Warmoth body in a different color. My other basses are in Arctic White and Butter Scotch Blonde. My Strats are in 3T SB, Oly White and Fiesta Red. So, I'd love to have a different color in my collection. I love Shell Pink, Dakota Red and Burgandy Mist, but I've never seen a maple fingerboard Jazz bass in one of those colors in person. What do you think? If you have a maple fingerboard bass in one of those colors, please post a pic. Cheers.

Maple goes with everything. But Dak Red is the one you won’t ever get tired of.

I was a swing vote, but you convinced me

We’re basically twins!
Everything goes with maple though.

I've seen plenty Dakota Red Jazz basses with maple fretboards, quite a few Shell Pink ones, too.
Do you want something common or something different?
Go for the Burgundy Mist...dare to be different.

All will look good! I went with Dakota Red just because.

Burgunota Shell for the winner see what i did there?

To me, changing the body is going to result in the bass changing its sound to some degree or even the way it plays. Why not just refin?

Dakota red if using a white or black guard.

Shell Pink only if using a black guard.

Burgundy mist with a maple board? Yuck.

I've seen plenty Dakota Red Jazz basses with maple fretboards,

Ya know why? Because red/maple is awesome. Especially for Canadian bassists.

Why's there no side by side of the colors? Want me to just imagine it?
