New Stack Knob Jazz release. (limited run)

[Cato]

Exclusive at Andertons

 

No idea how limited 'limited' is.

 

 

 

There's also a few guitars in the same finish, it looks like the Jazz is the only bass offering.

Pretty funky, but not a colour I think I’d keep 

[MartinB]

It's a bit flat... a pearl finish would have been snazzier. Ultimately it's always going to be second-best to burgundy mist metallic though 🤩

Hybrid magnet design: These pickups utilise Alnico 5 magnets on the E and A strings for tight low-end punch, and Alnico 2 on the D and G strings for a warm, fat growl.

Didn't they try mixed-magnet pickups a few years back? And people said that they sounded much better if you took them out and rotated them 180 degrees 😆

Thanks, I hate it.

To be fair I think the pic I lifted from Andertons may not do it justice, it looks a bit more vibrant in some of the video clips on Instagram.

 

But even in the best light you're dead right about it being a poor cousin to Burgundy Mist.

Well, I think it's a great colour - particularly with the matching headstock - and I look forward to being able to snap one up for a song later on in the year 😛

 

It looks better in the video than it does in the Andertons product photos.

 

I think it could look rather saucy with the pickguard and hardware changed to black.

Without sounding like a twit, I’d find it really hard to dress with a bass of that colour. Not a fan. Stack knobs are cool though.

Just wear a tort suit*.

 

Tort goes with every bass colour. TalkBass told me so it must be true.

 

 

 

* bonus joke for the lawyers!

Ive got just the right suit to match if you wanted to borrow it 😁

I prefer the peach one they did a couple of years ago.

[basshead56]

The pacific peach with a different paint scheme.

I like the look though.

I'd add a black pickguard, thumb rest and an ashtray bridge cover.

 

If it's even remotely similar my 60th Ann. RW Jazz, it will play and sound beautifully (and I imagine it's the same for the most part - bar finishing) 

 

Pretty cool.

limited release = limited to how many we can sell

[Geek99]

Good price for a fender. Not wild about the colour 

[Jean-Luc Pickguard]

It would be better if it was in a metallic version of lavender mist, and a mustang bass.
