jd56hawk Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 (edited) Some interesting finishes, especially compared to the new Player series line. Here are just a few, they have maybe seven or eight more finishes available. Beryl Red, Aquamarine, Inca Silver, Sunset Orange, Sherwood Green, Azurite Metallic and my favorite, Forest Blue, Fender's most confusing finish name yet!

jd56hawk Posted October 10 Author Share Posted October 10 Matching headstock puts it over the top. They seem to be all over the place with these basses...some of the ones with maple fretboards have matching headstocks, while most with rosewood have unfinished headstocks, with several exceptions.

Linus27 Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 I can't seem to find any reference to these basses in these colour's apart from the Beryl Red and Aquamarine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 Is there any point to these basses other than different colours? It's like Ford putting out the Model T for ever with different colour schemes every year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussFM Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 I bought a Hybrid II Jazzmaster last month. I was tempted by the Beryl Red but settled on last year's more traditional White Blonde finish. The quality is exceptional, if I was in the market for another bass I'd definitely look at the Hybrid II range before any US model. The Hybrid range is designed to have more modern specs than the Traditional range, but of course, it's Fender, they don't stray too far off the traditional path. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spongebob Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 I thought the first one when I mis-read it, was named after the late actress, Beryl Reid! 😫 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnybass Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Yeah I was wondering that, whats hybrid? I was expecting a PJ or something but they look like jazz basses in a different colour. Jonny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor J Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 (edited) They run off a battery if you play slower than 30bpm? Maybe it's the fretboard overhang and extra fret, a feature not usually seen on the MIJ stuff? That's Fendervation for you. Although, sadly, it looks like another range where you need to remove the neck to access the truss rod. Such a shame they persist with such a terrible feature.

RussFM Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 Yep, 'modern' features like the extra fret, locking tuners, narrow tall frets, and non-traditional finishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
