What color is my Jazz?

Maybe "Arctic White"? - I dunno, some VERY similar colours from Fender have different names...
I have the same bass (MIM Deluxe Active Jazz?) and on fenders product page they call it "Vintage White" see? Invalid Link Removed

It's Vintage White, fo sho'.
It's a pretty awesome finish. My friend has that exact same bass. He calls it "Banana Custard"

This is also a possibility. I'd forgotten that my friend bought an Arctic white MIM Deluxe jazz, and it was the same colour as this bass.
It's vintage white - I've got one.
I have been wondering how mine would look with a maple neck on it. I don't think they made the mim jazz deluxe with one (at least I have not ever seen one.)

Going from lightest to darkest: Olympic White is very white with little or no shading; Arctic White is just slightly off-white; Vintage White is more of a cream color, which is what this is. It's be-yoo-tee-ful. Great color and it goes with rosewood so nicely. Virtually any pickguard looks good on that, too.
That's not a matching headstock, is it? It almost looks that way in the photo, but I'm guessing it's just maple with dark lighting.
