JazzBassfreak Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Hi folks, I've been a fan of Paramore for quite a while and stumbled across a video of Jeremy Davis showing off his gear. He has some nice Jazz basses. One that really intrigued me was this trans Orangish Jazz with a maple board and really nice abalone inlays. I was wondering if anyone can enlighten me as to the colour if it is actually natural or is it orange tinted? I myself have never seen one quite like it. I can feel the GAS accumulating already...

KevB Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) Looks like butterscotch blonde to me, the jazz in my avatar is that colour but it has a rosewood board, its an S1 from 2003 ish. I have 2 other US Fenders in the same colour, an active precision deluxe (currently up for sale) and a precision 50th anniversary model with maple fretboard. The 'depth' of colour can vary a fair bit, the wood grain shows through more on my P deluxe than on the jazz for example. Heres a pic from when I first got it, now has one or two minor dings and sports a badass III bridge but pretty much the same; [url="http://s30.photobucket.com/user/KevB64/media/US%20jazz/5212acca.jpg.html"][/url][URL=http://s30.photobucket.com/user/KevB64/media/US%20jazz/e69ffc24.jpg.html][IMG]http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c307/KevB64/US%20jazz/e69ffc24.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Edited July 23, 2014 by KevB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bet it sounds sweet. It's what I'm missing really, I love my fender jazz, but it's a passive FSR, I'd like to get ahold of an active one to go with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 The S1 jazz was still only passive but it's a lovely player. For comparison of how much grain can show through in the same colour scheme here are my precisions; [URL=http://s30.photobucket.com/user/KevB64/media/IMG_0944.jpg.html][IMG]http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c307/KevB64/IMG_0944.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s30.photobucket.com/user/KevB64/media/Bodyfront_zps180740e0.jpg.html][IMG]http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c307/KevB64/Bodyfront_zps180740e0.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutton Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I don't know if it helps but here is a pic of my son's American Series Jazz Bass and my American Standard Precision. Both are finished in butterscotch blonde. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotswoldbassguitars Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 When a 'trans Orangish' colour was mentioned I thought of a Fender colour number '22' which was Sunset Orange Transparent that was used for only a few years around 2003 / 2004 on USA Ash bodied basses. I have only ever seen the colour on one bass, a Precision that I had few a short while.............stunning looking bass as hopefully the attached shows!
