Old Horse Murphy Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I ordered one of those new Charvel PJ's last week and it arrived safely today. Upon opening it however, I was shocked to see that it was the metallic lime green version, not the blue one. The shop had clearly messed up. Well, when I say that, what I mean is I ordered the wrong one... 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulThePlug Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 (edited) Nice colour... I'll go check out the blue. not sure on the white / cream pickup covers though... just checked the blue, was expecting it to be a lighter colour after the green Neck colour is luverly....

gafbass02 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I hate green. But I love that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I watched a video of one of these the other day - sounded great!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Horse Murphy Posted April 27, 2021 Author Share Posted April 27, 2021 I must say, after giving it a bit of a tweak it plays and sounds brilliant. Very good quality build, a J Profile neck with Luminlays and super Dimarzio pickups. That colour though; FFS.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Charvel have really upped their game over the last few years. They've obvously not forgotten their rock and metal origins but I think the more recent models of both bass and guitars have potentially a much broader appeal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 (edited) I like that a lot. Interesting & unusual to see a reverse P on a P/J and I'm sufficiently stuck in the 70s to really like the cream covers on the DiMarzios. Haven't seen the blue but that green's awesome! Think I like it because it's Triumph Roulette Green! Edited April 27, 2021 by Bassassin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Horse Murphy Posted April 27, 2021 Author Share Posted April 27, 2021 Thanks chaps. The more I play it, the more impressed I am with it, especially for the price point it's at. Sadly the retailer I bought it from hasn't got the blue in stock anymore, or the green for that matter so exchanging it isn't an option. Given how well it plays though I think I'll hang on to it, even if it looks like one of Shrek's relations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think black pickup covers would balance it out 🤨 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartelby Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 The green is way nicer than the blue! I think you got the better one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

three Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Absolutely love it - not usually a fan of green basses but this is spectacular. I see that these are listed at a weight of 5.13kg (about 11lbs) which sounds a bit much - can any owners advise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, OHM - 'sounds much more like it - maybe Charvel are including the weight of the packaging. Very pleased to hear of your decision too - I think it looks fabulous, and I've always been a fan of Di Marzio pickups and the company's cream covers. I'd love a go on one of these - very tempted even though I'm sworn to short-scale these days 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
