Which Color? Fender Road Worn 60th Anniversary

[HardNHeavy]

Oly white looks the coolest, Firemist looks blue, but you dont see it much..sunburst is just sunburst, market is saturated with that color imo

 

[thepapercut]

White.

But it's a shame they did t sunburst the headstock.

 

[basmansam]

I like the oly white - awesome!!

 

[Killing Floor]

Ooh, silver and white are in a dead tie! C'mon!

I like the look of the aging under the faded white more than the silver. I like the silver as new, though. I'm not digging the tort on the silver. Is this a contest? Do I win?

 

[Mosstone]

I know Fender is calling it Fire Mist Silver but on my phone it looks more like Ice Blue Metallic with a slight yellowing of the lacquer.

That's the one I would choose, anyway. I've got enough 3TS in my life, and while I like white basses and guitars, when given a choice, I tend to opt for a more colorful finish.

We need more firemist silver votes!

 

[Dragan]

The blue one on top looks best to me. I wish they all had darker fingerboards, though. Roadworns play AWESOME, by the way.

Exactly my thought. That light brown rosewood, if it is rosewood, is put off

 

[Dr. Cheese]

I only have one bass with a genuine rosewood fingerboard. It is my Peavey Forum five and I was noticing just the other day how beautiful it is. I am happy I own, however, I do not want rosewood to became extinct just so we can have pretty fingerboards.

 

[Dr. Cheese]

I finally voted firemist silver because it got my attention first, but that Olympic white would not be kicked out of my music room!

 

[Corevalay]

The white is awesome, followed by the firemist silver. You have to get one of them with a matching headstock. Once these start popping up used, I may have to grab one.

By the way, what exactly is silver about that?? Looks quite blue to me.

 

[Bassdirty]

Of those choices the white is coolest by far.

+1 to that.

Now, in typical Talkbass fasion (to choose from the choices you gave, by recommending a totally different choice than you were asking about ),

If I could choose any color it'd be shell pink or seafoam I think.

[Bassdirty]

I like the silver although it doesn't look silver at all.

when I 1st scrolled down, I thought I was seeing a light blue or almost faded seafoam....

then I read the choices..

 

[ole Jason]

I'd do Firemist and stain the board darker

 

[Kukulkan61]

I wouldn't mind either one as long as a fretboard was Rosewood

 

[Bryan R. Tyler]

+1 to that.

Absolutely, hence why I said of those choices. While Fender will probably never put out a blocked and bound maple board shell pink bass, I'm still holding out hope.

Are these made in the US? Can't find it anywhere on fender or Sweetwater. I am assuming US because of the price tag.

I was looking at these late last night. Sweetwater is doing preorders right now.

Firemist is my choice. But as an aside, the Squier Contemporary Jazz V blew my mind in black, and only $430 on sale

Roadworns are Mexican. It's been a minute since new American Fenders were $1,299 street.

 

[kevinpmajka]

Either way go matching headstock. So sunburst is out for me.

I love these faux vintage stack knob Jazzes. I love all of them; which color do you love the most?

Your poll needs a "Carrots" option for those of us who don't do relic'd basses.
