Grand Wazoo Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Sorry but isn't that salmon pink? Don't look like fiesta red to me.

Soloshchenko Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I like. The blue one I bought recently is one of my main basses now. Well made and cracking tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see, when we ordered the guitar there was a Board of Trade ban on American musical instruments so we had to get it direct. Jennings later became the distributors for Fender and those guitars were indeed fiesta red. But I think, before that time, Fender's custom colours really were custom - I think they used to go down to the local car spray shop and just choose colours that they liked. But as far as I'm concerned and Hank's concerned, it was flamingo pink, even though all the Fender books say there's no such thing. I wore an onion on my belt; it was the fashion at the time"...

Sibob Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I assumed that the Fiesta Red that we know (the pinky colour) is just a faded version of what it would have looked like back in the day!?. Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Wazoo Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 There is a great line that Frank Zappa says at the end of the song "Watermelon in Easter Hay" in Joe's Garage, goes something like this....

silentbob Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Guess i'm going to be in the minority here, but i think it looks awful. Always disliked red on red, but red on pink is just wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafbass02 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Yep, I don't like the colour combination either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJE Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 AH CRAP! another bass on the want list now. I suppose its more achievable than a Sei Jazz 5 but still a couple of hundred pound more than I have. I have always wanted a Pino style Precision and if the other squiers are anything to go by this should be awesome. Slap a badass on there with a Jazz pickup at the bridge and that would be just what I am after at the moment. Another great bass from Squier.

gafbass02 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 My GAS list seems to be entirely squier at the mo (with the long running and never gonna happen exceptions of a sei flamboyant 4 or my old streamer or a walnut jazz) although I'll call this one exempt. That said can you put a badass on these new squiers? I heard the screw holes on the new hmv bridge dont line up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bh2 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) The new Squiers have some sort of 'HiMass' bridges these days... I don't know if you'll gain a lot more by fitting a badass. You won't be able to fit the bridge ashtrays if you do. I've an MIM P and I'm perfectly happy with the vintage style bit of bent metal. The Pino Squier looks great although I still prefer the sonic blue. Edited March 9, 2010 by bh2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJE Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I now have that picture on page one as my home screen image on my Blackberry, looks amazing! ha ha. Not sure about the Badass fit, I just like the look of badass bridges to be honest no real reason other than that. I think they have gone bust now anyway havent they? I am sure I read that somewhere. I think a Jazz pickup would be the order of the day for me as well though and a nice chrome cover over the pickup. I really want one now, major GAS!

Grand Wazoo Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) I am sad to inform you all that... presently that one is the only one in the country in that colour!!!, as they have not yet been introduced widely to all distributors, it just so happened that particular dealer received "the one" as a sampler in that colour. Yes of course, there'll be more of the same to come but not for a while, in the meantime, I've phoned him up and snapped that off him. So now it's on its way to moi! as you can see he removed it from ebay as we did a "phone deal" (better than the price advertised) saves him ebay mafia fees and me delivery charges. Everyone's a winner!

Balcro Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) Bah! Beaten too it by "bass5". It's not even on Squier's web-site. It's about as "red in'yer face" as the Ibanez SRX430 (UK frame). Such as here - [url="http://www.giggear.co.uk/p/Ibanez-SRX430/"]http://www.giggear.co.uk/p/Ibanez-SRX430/[/url] Balcro.
