edit: found a better one, but it looks like I peed my pants. Why can't I just look cool for once? I thought being in bands was supposed to make you cool. Now it just looks like peeing your pants is cool. But i'm not miles davis.

I LOL'ed...

Jerry Jones doesn't offer this green to white burst anymore.

RIC only made 1000 of these basses, and only 3 or 4 lefties.

Here's my 82 P-bass. All original, transparent Sapphire Blue on a one-piece ash body.

The best part is that it's a great player with tons of P-bass goodness!!

I'm pretty sure the finish on my 97 american fender jazz 5 string is discontinued...

My old Lakland 55-01 Deluxe with Nordstrand Big Singles. Lakland no longer has these with quilted maple tops.

 

[Fender32]

The model is far from discontinued (and probably never will be in our lifetimes ), but the colour (Shoreline Gold) stopped being used on P Basses some time during the 1970's (IIRC). The matching headstock and flamed maple neck are extremely rare options too.

Boys and girls, I proudly present to you ... my new Fender Custom Shop (NOS) 1959 Precision Bass :

Of course, there are still some Fenders (Roscoe Beck bass, US Vintage reissue Strats etc.) and other brands (Sadowsky, Läkland etc.) available in Shoreline Gold, but as far as P Basses go, it's not an option any more . That's a real´shame, as it's fast becoming my favourite "custom colour" of all time .

Body is from a old Squier P-Bass Special in British Racing Green. Everything else is Warmoth, pups are SD Quarterounders.

Here is my Butterscotch Blond Fender Jazz that Fender just continued. Her name is Amber and she is my go to bass.

Thanks James . I only got it yesterday, but I plan to take a few of my own pics and do a little thread to introduce it properly to TB, as soon as I find time .

2003 Fender Precision in Inca Silver. I dunno if I'd call it rare, but a woefully underrated color that is now discontinued.

I was looking for an Inca Silver Precision in 2007. Apparently, they
had discontinued that color and replaced it with Shoreline Gold --
a color that had been out of circulation for some time.
So, I went for the Shoreline Gold. That color didn't last for long
as they discontinued that when they came out with the American
Standard P basses.

Whoops! My bad. I stand corrected.

Right, I guess that there are different finish options for the US and European markets (I'm in Germany, BTW) .

The Japanese seem to get all the best Fender colours, I've noticed . There are endless Japanese websites selling US made Vintage Series and Custom Shop basses in old '60s colourschemes.

That's a cool bass! What does the mini-switch do?

Switches between passive and active. It goes from 'Passive P-Bass goodness' to 'up front, in your face, P-Bass madness'
