AndyTravis Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Here we go, finally got the Badass II sorted on my Jazz, so here are some photos. Bit of back story; I'm obsessed with the colour blue, always chose the blue ball, the blue bike, my favourite Thundercat was Panthro because he was blue (80's kid), i always had blue hats and blue trainers etc. As i've got older, it's turned into a gear thing. Around 11 years ago, you could get Squier Standard Jazz Basses in Lake Placid Blue, but my mum and dad couldn't afford it, i tried one every weeken at Sound Control Salford, i ended up with my Yamaha BB300 instead, smart move i guess, but it wasn't 'that' blue like the Squier. So, i like blue gear now, and i can afford it, and my missus lets me off with it, as she thinks it's pretty. [b]2007 Rickenbacker 4003 In Blueburst.[/b] A boyhood dream come true, i used to have a school book covered with the old Wharfdale Advert with a black Ricky 4000 on it. We ordered these through work, a load of cancelled orders at Rosetti, it's my 'dream' Ricky, i nearly went for a Midnight blue, as i thought Blueburst was long gone (colour of the year 2005), but Rickenbacker are crazy, and two years late - so i got exactly what i wanted. [b]2002 (?) Fender 75 Reissue Jazz Bass Factory Special Run Lake Placid Blue.[/b] A more recent aqcuisition, from HiPeron on BC. I have been stalking these for years, and never had the cash, but, i spotted one on here, and pounced. Now Badassed, and Bell covered, it's now my main bass. Anyhow, there will be a third (Fourth if you count my Telecaster) addition to my 'Blue Family' On Wednesday, i'm having my Jap 60's reissue Precision delivered, it will be getting the '64 treatment, i have the covers, thumbrest and parchment pickguard ready. Enjoy the dirt. Until other blue dirt arrives. Trav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harvey1-8 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I love the blue burst Rics and Lake Placid Blue is one of the colours I'd love to see Fender use more, along with Surf Green and a couple of others. Very nice sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
