OutToPlayJazz Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I went back to one of my private schools today for the first time since early December & a pupil had received an MIM Jazz for Xmas. The serial number puts it at a 2002 model, but I'd never seen the colour before - A more grey version of lake placid blue. After a bit of research I found out it was called Blue Agave. Anyone else had a bass in this colour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Academy Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 In the pic it looks like a Mex Blue Agave to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Academy Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Maybe a Friday afternoon too-much-Tequila back from the pub happy accident? You never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I own plenty of Mexican blue agaves but nothing with Fender on it. [attachment=40264:DSC_0049.jpg] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyTravis Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 fairly common, a slow seller, like sage green. Inbetween lake placid and ice blue. A mega finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Tut Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Yep - I used to have an MIM P in that colour. Was awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basshead56 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I won a mim strat in this finish off the radio last march. Can´t understand why this finish isn´t seen more often-it looks lovely under lights! I let our guitarist use it (she can´t be arsed to buy ANYTHING gear-wise lol) I´ve seen a few Precisions in this finish too. I like it anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Burrito Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I remember seeing these about at the time. I think the MIMs initially tried to up their game by offering funky colours. More recently the modifications have been to improve playability but I remember these being good fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjohn Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I've got a 2001 FSR "Gun Metal Blue" [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=73350&hl="]Precision for sale[/url] at the moment... It's very much like the teal, but a more blue, like a dark Lake Placid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bh2 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 That's nice bigjohn, if it plays anything like mine it's a killer. Would look great with some vintage mojo, covers, tugbar... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vibrating G String Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I've got one. It's in these pictures next to my Fernandes jazz which is the best Fender style bass I've ever owned.
