Remember this anyone? I took a flyer on it. I am a Jazz guy and always have been. I played a friends 'fish back in the late '90's, loved it but could not afford one. Things changed and this showed on my radar screen and I grabbed it.
The neck is fine (for now?)....I considered flipping this into something else as I have a friend who is a Reverend guy and he will buy this from me....but I absolutely LOVE this instrument! It is soooo comfortable. The sound is great thru my SWR WM15. Muddy at one end and clear at the other. With flats on it..it's like butter.....
I feel like have started to neglect my Jazz Aerodyne....but I cannot stop myself from picking this puppy up!
Anyone know what the color is called?

Looking at the archives on the Reverend site, I'd say it's Navy. I really thought about trying to snag that one when the price stayed low. Of course I'd probably be sleeping in the garage with it.
Invalid Link Removed. It seems a little darker than the Lake Superior Blue. I'd say from the Invalid Link Removed in the gallery, you're right; it looks most like navy (top row, second from left).

I guess yours is special.
Did you see the picture of this particular Lava Swirl PJ?

WOW. I WANT.

They had one mahogany, but it was lots lighter than mine.
They also had that "weird-swirl" I have, called blackwood, and I think the pic is my bass.
I'll have to check when I get home.

Could be navy but it looks like rpj blue that is reflecting the darker blue of the carpet.

That looks like a rhythm traveler kit
I had 5L # 037 in Navy, based on that excellent archive page! (no bugeye btw!), so I'd vote for Navy
another observation on bridges--look at the last two basses on the archive page--they have different bridges--the wood topped (which I have, was called a premium topped mahogany) has a thicker base to the bridge, where the last one has the "stamped" bridge, like my earlier j/j vvt 4 does. Anybody know anything about the bridges?

Bart that looks photo-chopped...maybe it never existed??
Yep - my drummer has one of those set's. the guy has near as many set's as Bartman has basses ... It's louder than you would think and fabulous on small stages.
Out of the Houser color's above, the dragonfly green and morrocan gold are oh, so, nice .... love you long time fo' that dragon fly green.
Could be. If it existed though, I want it. Heck, if it didn't exist, it should have.
Oh...I was so close to ordering the PJ in Lava swirl with a maple board. But I had asked Joe if he could do one in the '69 lime green since they were doing the special run of guitars in that color at the time. I still wavered even after placing the order...Stuck with the lime though!

I think you are correct on BOTH accounts...The Fish is much lighter in color than that pic shows. My guess would be the rpj blue.
The drum kit is indeed a rhythm traveler. It's a terrific little set and is pretty versitile.
Thanks for the help on the color...you guys know your fish!
Since I already have a Lava Swirl BH5, I think the lime green is the color I'd most like to have.
Steve at Reverend did Photoshop a lot of those basses just for the site. Notice that the PJ doesn't have three knobs like it should. I would love to pour over the logs they have and document all the basses.
