Cato Posted January 8 Posted January 8 (edited) 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. https://www.andertons.co.uk/fender-player-ii-jazz-bass-guitar-lavender-haze/ Edited January 8 by Cato 5 1 Quote
MartinB Posted January 8 Posted January 8 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 🤩 Quote 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 😆 2 Quote

Ultimately it's always going to be second-best to burgundy mist metallic though 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. Edited January 8 by Cato Quote
simisker Posted January 8 Posted January 8 (edited) 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 😛 I think it could look rather saucy with the pickguard and hardware changed to black. Edited January 9 by simisker Andertons have added more, better, product photos now :) 1 Quote
jonno1981 Posted January 8 Posted January 8 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. Quote
simisker Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Just wear a tort suit*. Tort goes with every bass colour. TalkBass told me so it must be true. * bonus joke for the lawyers! 2 2 Quote

AndyTravis Posted January 8 Posted January 8 I prefer the peach one they did a couple of years ago. 2 Quote
basshead56 Posted January 9 Posted January 9 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. Quote
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted January 9 Posted January 9 It would be better if it was in a metallic version of lavender mist, and a mustang bass. 2 Quote

dub_junkie Posted January 9 Posted January 9 I am after a passive 4 string Jazz bass and that finish is living in my head rent free today. I love it and currently trying to formulate a plan on how I can buy one Quote
80Hz Posted January 10 Posted January 10 I like it. You used to be able to be able to get matching bathroom mats and toilet seat covers in this color back in the 90s. I’d perfume mine like a Victorian love letter. 3 Quote
LeftyJ Posted January 11 Posted January 11 These are a Chicago Music Exchange / Andertons exclusive, and indeed somewhat limited. And thank god! That Lavender Haze sure isn't pretty. Quote
dub_junkie Posted January 12 Posted January 12 Deposit paid and in stock for the end of March🙂 2 Quote
