Looper Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 It is (or was?) a Fender colour. If you look in the pick-up cavity, or maybe the inside of the neck pocket you might be able to see if it's been re-sprayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obbm Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Nice one. I was looking at this as a potential brother for my pink jazz. I contacted the seller for the serial number and it is not far from my Jazz so I suspect it's a real one. If I remember correctly these were produced to celebrate Fenders 50th anniversary and so it should have a sticker saying so on the back of the headstock.

RhysP Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Great colour. Bloody good price too for a Japanese Fender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I had one of these when they first came out. Sound Control were doing them for £200 at the time. There were Precisions and Jazzes with maple or rosewood fretboards - I had one like the OP has bought Lovely basses - ended up swapping it for a Peavey 4x10" which seems silly now I think about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Wazoo Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Nice bass..... so what manly colour are you going to spray it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacker Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 This was a range that Fender Japan did circa 1995. You don't see them pop up often but I would love to get ahold of one of the Jazzes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seemingly weren't selling too well to dealers but Sound Control bought what Arbiter had left and sold the whole range off at £199. Shoulda bought one then.
