umcoo Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) Hi all, I've always had a soft spot for Capri Orange and couldn't resist when this came up on Reverb a few weeks back. It's a 1993 MIJ '62 reissue, one of the "non-export" versions. A few battlescars, and the neck pickup doesn't work so I need to take it apart and see what's going on, but other than that it's a great bass and plays very nicely. Came with a non-original pickguard but I much prefer JB's without them anyway. Can't say I've seen many of these about - I think Capri Orange was only in production in 1993 and 1997, but it would be interesting to hear more. Enjoy the pics!

jposega Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 The greatest color Fender ever produced. I had a CIJ P in the color for a few years. Upgraded to playing Dingwall basses and decided to get my SP5 refinished in Capri Orange. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I’ve always wanted one in this colour too, I had to settle for Sunset Orange though! Which looks more like transparent red unless in direct sunlight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
