Davy Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I'm currently looking to buy one of the current range of Fender Jazz basses but I'm struggling to find one in my ideal colour i.e. vintage natural/tort pickguard and rosewood board. The nearest colour that I can find is the FSR player or an American pro but they both have maple boards. I even considered the PJ Mustang bass to get the right colour combination but it's short scale and the body is just too small. Looks like I might have to compromise on the FSR jazz but with a maple board or just look at a different colour completely(Firemist gold). It such a shame that fender have overlooked this colour combination as I'd buy one in a heartbeat. Maybe someone can tell me that I've got it wrong...

Lfalex v1.1 Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Alternative; Find the natural body you're looking for with a nice neck and budget for a luthier to re-board it with the nicest piece of Rosewood they have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy Posted September 26, 2021 Author Share Posted September 26, 2021 Yeah I did think about that or maybe finding someone else with a fender jazz rosewood board to do a swap with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
