Jazz bass of choice. 2 x skins from Axedecals (£40 the pair). https://axedecals.com/shop/guitar-skins/retro/retro-paisley-guitar-wrap-skin/ Clear plate from Brian (maybe another £20). Spray the edges ( say £8 for a can) That would go so badly wrong if I did it 😂 1 Quote
thegummy Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 Looks amazing. I've always loved black paisley; in fact one of my favourite guitar pics I've ever seen is of a black paisley Strat that I thought was vintage but might not be. I never thought they'd bring it out as a production line finish! Quote

grenadillabama Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 some artist-type could paint the paisleys on with a tiny paintbrush . Like a mural, except tiny . Quote

My daughter is one of those artist types, I actually asked her to do this on a scratch plate for me. She told me to go buy a template. Apparently she didn't fancy the job. I suspect it may have been a little too labour intensive. Quote
PaulThePlug Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 from what i know and have seen, on a Jazz the front plate doesnt cover any routing holes.. so is merely functional and cosmetic.. looks great in clear... and nice simple shape for the control cavity... which could be made more simple if omiting the bigger guard, albeit from new with no screw holes.... wish a P was like this, or routed, control cavity from the rear...

Woodinblack Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 Are they different to the japanese ones that have been out for a long time, or is this a new range? I love paisley and would love that finish but they are out of the budget I would pay for a fender. Looks great though. Quote

Paisley should either be Pink or Blue and only on an early P Bass body...... Quote

These are Japanese, but they've not hit any stores yet - so not sure which ones you mean to be honest? Quote

Musicman20 Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 Well, I was going to go for the Strat, got a good price lined up, but decided against it as the spec was lesser than my current Strat. The black paisley is really cool but I can't justify an instrument at the moment purely on finish. Quote

There was a range of black paisley fenders in 2012 / 2013 iirc. But now I look and see there is a new range. 30 minutes ago, Musicman20 said: The black paisley is really cool but I can't justify an instrument at the moment purely on finish.

yorks5stringer Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 Rumour has it there will be a celebrity endorsed Bob Daisley version....... Quote
sirmuppet Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 I got offered one. The guy at the shop is a friend and knows I love paisley, plus I told him that if ever they release another paisley bass let me know. Am getting first refusal but I'll probably take it, lol. They're getting the strat in too. Think it's arriving at the shop around the 28th July. I have a Fender black paisley tele already so this will be a nice match for it. Agree though, it would look nicer with a matching pasiley pickguard. Even a transparent one with the little black bloom around the neck pickup the hide the route would do. 1 Quote
martthebass Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 So glad this is thick end of £1100, if it had been a Squier MII at < £500 I would have been doomed. 1 Quote

Is that the James Burton Signature model which is really cool. Apparently when he got his pink paisley tele, Elvis was rather rude about it! Given some of the outfits The King wore one might think pink paisley was quite subdued. 1 Quote

molan Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 Couldn’t resist - have pre-ordered one from a shop that’s only getting one in stock! 1 Quote
thedontcarebear Posted July 13, 2020 Author Posted July 13, 2020 Sounds like there's going to be quite a few of them owned by people on here! Quote
