Stub Mandrel Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I'd have serious GAS for one of these in Daphne Blue. Except... the colour looks decidedly green to me. https://shop.fender.com/en-GB/electric-basses/jazz-bass/vintera-60s-jazz-bass/0149633304.html Pictures of Daphne Blue P-basses online look the right colour to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyTravis Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Gold - but change the pickguard to parchment. Real Norman Watt Roy vibes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stub Mandrel Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 I sent a query to Fender and they said it's the same colour as the P's and teles, and blame the lighting. You'd think that a global brand would take care with something like that. Problem is, I want one now...

songofthewind Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Perchance the device one chances to view these, shall I say, OBJETS D’ ART, upon may govern the verisimilitude of the hue. Or some stinky poo like that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyJohnson Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 This is the colour you want: Incidentally, and this may be a case of word blindness considering I used to refer to the much loved Beano comic caniform Biffo The Bear as Boof the Bear until quite recently (I'm a very youthful 50+ years old, BTW), imagine my horror at discovering the colour Daphne Blue was pronounced Daff-nee and not Dow-fan as I had been reading it for just about ever. This probably explains why I used to get stared at blankly when I was talking about the colour dow-fan blue to halpess guitar shop employees. /anyhow. Damp Squibb. That's what you need to ask for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
