Brother going to hit you with the hard truth. I’ve always thought that translucent blue/green/purple guitars were the “nu metal, scumbag” type guitar finishes.

Getting a real nice Jazz bass, I would always go with honey or tobacco burst

But you do you

i think these are pretty nice looking and are currently on sale.

i played this model with a different finish (yellow) and fell in love.

It's $850 though. The blue/green finish is marked down to $650.

the plus model is 2X the cost and the upgrades are stuff i mostly don't care about i.e. active electronics. It has noiseless pickups and a himass bridge too which are nice but i can do those upgrades on my own for way cheaper.

you may be right but that doesn't seem to be the consensus. lots of bass heads talk up to squiers saying they are the best value in the fender lineup and steer people away from buying American because the mexicans are the same shit.

anyway, i've played tons of fender basses. the 2 that really stood out to me were 1) a 2017 american elite p-bass and 2) the current player series mexican jazz bass.

if i can get the latter for $650 that feels like a win even if xo hates the finish.

completely wrong. fenders are mass produced and were made to be a couple simple tweaks away from perfect. there's nothing that can't be easily fixed on these. always buy used.

I'm a big p bass fan. Started this casual search trying to find a nice passive p style bass.

Ended up playing a MIM player series jazz bass that really just felt perfect but the $850 price tag felt high.

This one with the gorgeous blue maple finish is on sale for $650. Couldn't resist.

guitar inflation is absolutely insane. i follow the boutique and vintage markets pretty closely and everything is up at least 50%. 30s martins are selling for record prices and they're selling very fast. a lot of guys are tapped out and shaking their heads, so maybe it's about to reverse, but who knows. there was a big bust boom and bust back in the dot com days.

that would be expensive or a hack job and ruin the resale value. he should return this ghastly thing and buy the color he wants on reverb, ebay, or craigslist for less than this one's "sale" price and if it sucks take it in for a $50 set up.

dude it's a fender. everything on it can be quickly and cheaply modified. if you don't like how it plays take it in for a set up. also those are all made in the past 3 years. what could possibly have gone wrong with them since then? it's not like you're going to need a fret job or anything.

i've been buying guitars online for a dozen years and only once had an issue that couldn't be easily fixed. buying new is for suckers.

Nah. The $700 yellow one also has no manufacturer warranty and can't be returned. It's in Mississippi or something so I can't check it out before buying. It's been listed for 5 months. I'm guessing there's a reason why it hasn't sold considering these are popular instruments and that's a big discount.

It's possible that specific item is flawed. I don't know how much of a warranty you need. The only thing that could be wrong with it is broken or chipped neck or headstock and that is extremely rare on a Fender bass. Other than that there isn't much to insure.

Purchased new in box on Friday for $650.

Played it for hours over the weekend. Love the look, feel and tone.

I might actually need to raise the action a little. The neck is so slender and fast.

It's everything I was looking for. I think I much prefer passive electronics to active but it takes getting used to not have a single volume know on the guitar.
