xilddx Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 (edited) I changed my mind about importing a white B&B Fender Japan JB66 and paying a fortune in customs, handling and shipping. So I'll be picking [url="http://www.fareastguitars.co.uk/usedjb1.htm"]this beauty[/url] up from John, who seems like a lovely bloke, in a week or two. I am rather excited now I think a pearl white plate would look nice on this, but maybe a bit OTT - what do you think?

Clarky Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Good score Nigel. White pearl would be OTT for my tastes, would prefer an aged ivory/cream scratchplate but its not my bass! Enjoy mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually quite like it, not generally a fan of plain plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bh2 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 (edited) Cor!... I reckon white pearl would look lovely. Would look great with the covers but I don't think would fit over the bridge. One of the nicest Jazzes I've seen! Edited January 31, 2011 by bh2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilddx Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Hey, thanks gents! I love covers too, but I can't play with the damn things on. Should be an awesome player, John gave me some neck measurements which sound like this neck will be about perfect for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy_Marsh Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I'd definitely go for the Pearl White pickguard. It'll look like similar to Gary Mac's avatar, put not a US P bass deluxe haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubinga5 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Nice bass Nige.. yes it will look bling with a pearl guard but it will look great too.. i would also be tempted to leave the guard off... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjohn Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I've played 2 of those 62RIs and own a 65RI - they're the best basses I've played and I've played some rather nice ones Lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I too would favour aged white but you should try pearloid as well. Best of both worlds. Looks great too btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_Bass Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Pearl IMO! Beautiful bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus27 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I say a black scratchplate. Really a shame you not getting that white bass. It was stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ou7shined Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Not a big fan of red basses or pearliod but (with yours being one of the nice reds) I think the two together would look sweet. It helps having Gary Mac's av to look at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffbyrne Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Black or cream pearloid would be great, but my choice would be (Yes, I *know* it's not a bass)... G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niceguyhomer Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I'd put an aged white pearl or a mint green on that. Lovely bass, reminds me of a Jazz I once owned - that had a mint green pg, here have a look and see what you think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Thats a very nice looking bass, and good to see you coming over to the dark side of Fender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gary mac Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) [attachment=70621:014.jpg] Here you go Nige, a better view of my P bass. I've actually been considering changing the pickguard recently, as I feel it's a bit too blingy or maybe a bit too country. Not sure what to do really and can't decide on what colour would actually compliment the paint job.
