Fender Blue Agave

[OutToPlayJazz]

I went back to one of my private schools today for the first time since early December & a pupil had received an MIM Jazz for Xmas. The serial number puts it at a 2002 model, but I'd never seen the colour before - A more grey version of lake placid blue. After a bit of research I found out it was called Blue Agave. Anyone else had a bass in this colour?

In the pic it looks like a Mex Blue Agave to me.

Maybe a Friday afternoon too-much-Tequila back from the pub happy accident?

You never know.

I own plenty of Mexican blue agaves but nothing with Fender on it.

Rich i had a Fender J5 in this color...i could be wrong but i think its the rare..ish, Inca Silver...looks just like the one i traded with a BC,er...

[AndyTravis]

fairly common, a slow seller, like sage green.
Inbetween lake placid and ice blue.

A mega finish.

I used to have a MIM in that colour, I bought it in 2003, got skint sold it soon after.

[King Tut]

Yep - I used to have an MIM P in that colour. Was awesome!

I won a mim strat in this finish off the radio last march.
Can´t understand why this finish isn´t seen more often-it looks lovely under lights!
I let our guitarist use it (she can´t be arsed to buy ANYTHING gear-wise lol)
I´ve seen a few Precisions in this finish too.
I like it anyway

I had a MIM telecaster in that colour a couple of years back.

They had some great colours for MIMs around then... mine is a 2002 in Teal green metallic, looks blue and grey depending on the lighting...

That teal green is a lovely colour. Fantastic looking bass.

I had a P special in that colour then some f***er nicked it.

I remember seeing these about at the time. I think the MIMs initially tried to up their game by offering funky colours. More recently the modifications have been to improve playability but I remember these being good fun

I've got a 2001 FSR "Gun Metal Blue" [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=73350&hl="]Precision for sale[/url] at the moment...

It's very much like the teal, but a more blue, like a dark Lake Placid.

That's nice bigjohn, if it plays anything like mine it's a killer. Would look great with some vintage mojo, covers, tugbar...

I've got one. It's in these pictures next to my Fernandes jazz which is the best Fender style bass I've ever owned.
