karlfer Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Not quite as Shell Pink as you would think, but gloriously light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karlfer Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Yup, nipped home for allotted time. Only had time to open, tune etc. Back at t'mill now. Finish here, out to gig so nowt from me until tomorrow. But, looks good, feels good, well built and nice acoustically. Hiram will no doubt do a great review tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

police squad Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1467379881' post='3083247'] Mine has just arrived :-) [/quote] and? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
police squad Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1467384164' post='3083310'] I was literally just opening the box and the phone rang with one of those conversations that you just can't cut short. I've had it out of the box now and noodled about a bit and I can't find fault with it other than the truss rod needs a tweak. I don't have time to do a set up today. As mentioned previously, the pink finish is not in your face, but I guess it probably would be a bit faded after over 50 years of use. I'm quite happy with the colour.

Musicman20 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 That colour is perfect. I must have one. I know it's only a side issue but does it come with a gig bag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
police squad Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 lovely colour, thanks for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Bargain. I've got a proper Fender hardcase for a Jazz anyway...or a Mono, so probably good they don't up the price and include a hardcase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumple Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 That's right up my street, I love my red RW Bass but that's even nicer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJE Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) Oh dear lord, I might need to find some money from somewhere very quickly!! That is basically everything I would want in a Jazz bass and I already know the quality of the other road worn stuff.......I think my wife might be getting very angry with me soon.

Chiliwailer Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1467388935' post='3083388'] I had another quick look at it before I came out and just that headstock alone you would think had come straight out of Fender's Custom Shop attached to a Jazz priced four times what this cost! [/quote] The Custom Shop just bump it with more expensive tools! Looks awesome mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stingrayPete1977 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 You know what? that is nice and the first relic I have liked, I know a few people with genuine relics and they do look like that rather than the overly ruined rather than aged ones you see done with a grinder, tow rope and the M6!

stingrayPete1977 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Thankfully it has a string missing so my money is safe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highfox Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Very nice, tempted to flog off my USA Jazz and get one of these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 OK - Andertons have told me it IS a limited release. Who knows, Fender might release more at some point, but I couldn't order one. I asked Richtone a few days ago and they just don't seem to want my order. I've deposited one of the few that GuitarGuitar are getting. Apparently only 4 left.

karlfer Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1467439359' post='3083656'] I'm looking forward to setting this up over the weekend and giving it a proper test drive. Here are some more pictures.... [center][/center] [center][/center] [center][/center] [center][/center] [center][/center] [/quote] Cracking job Warren , wish I had your camera and descriptive skills. I'm gutted, I got the heavy one at 8lb 4oz VERY late gig last night, with a Rockinbetter 4003s I raised from the near dead. Looking forward to a lot less work to get this splendid critter playing for me. EDIT, come to think of it, wish I had your sky!
