What colour is this Fender?

[fretmeister]

Anyone know what colour this is?

I can't quite find an actual match and I really like it.

I think it used to be Sherwood Green.

Looks like a Custom Shop reliced version of Ocean Turquoise Metallic, although they did do some that were described as "7-Up Green Metallic" but I'm blowed if I can remember which players those particular ones were for. Gorgeous colour, whatever it is 👍

Other than Sea Foam Green I've never been one for green basses but that is just lovely.

 

I don't know who the guy playing is, I just saw the post on social media.

That does look very close. Nice!

Yes, nicely aged OTM finish.  They did a FSR run of these a few years back.

OTM was a standard finish option for several MIJ Fender basses for years. It's a shame they don't use it more, it's so tasty! 

 

I'm with @BassAgent though. When I Google aged OTM most results have a more blueish hue. I think it might very well be an aged sherwood green finish. The Fender Custom Shop do a finish they call "faded aged sherwood green" which looks like this:

Hold on, Fender do a faded aged sage green too. Getting closer!

 

[Reggaebass]

Could be Sherwood as it fades with time but I’m thinking that’s a custom colour, maybe Foam green 

[BassAgent]

I'm sticking with sherwood. If you google aged sherwood it looks exactly like this.

His name is Kaveh Rastegar:

 

 

The bass is an original 1964 Precision, finish is apparently Ocean Turquoise Metallic but a quick Google suggests that was only introduced in 1965 so… who knows 🤷

[Bolo]

It's white and gold!

 

Or was it blue/black?
