New Fender Vintera 60s Jazz Bass - colour?

I sent a query to Fender and they said it's the same colour as the P's and teles, and blame the lighting.

You'd think that a global brand would take care with something like that.

Problem is, I want one now...

These do NOT look the same colour:

Emphatically not.

I suppose someone somewhere might reasonably observe that a light coating of nicotine has been known to 'green up' Daphne Blue instruments. 

The fretboards don't look the same colour, neither. t1809.gif

This is the colour you want:

Incidentally, and this may be a case of word blindness considering I used to refer to the much loved Beano comic caniform Biffo The Bear as Boof the Bear until quite recently (I'm a very youthful 50+ years old, BTW), imagine my horror at discovering the colour Daphne Blue was pronounced Daff-nee and not Dow-fan as I had been reading it for just about ever.

This probably explains why I used to get stared at blankly when I was talking about the colour dow-fan blue to halpess guitar shop employees.

/anyhow.  Damp Squibb.  That's what you need to ask for.

He's not a dog! Everyone knows he's a monkey!

 ... the colour of a forget-me-knot ... and pronounced as the ladies' name from it ...
