Before and After: Fender Jazz refinish

AustinLeftyBass · Post by **AustinLeftyBass** » November 18th, 2009, 8:38 am

Before: MIM Fender Jazz FSR, ash body in natural finish.

After: Refinished in Sonic Blue, looks different with and without flash.

That's a beautiful bass. You will send it to me immediately.

The Jedi Mind Trick didn't work? I didn't think so.

Seriously cool, man. Congrats.

Major improvement, looks lovely. I didn't like the original look.

Me neither, I dont like natural finishes, but the bass sounded so good I had to buy it, I'm very happy with it now.

Hah, I think it looked killer before and after the refin. I love me some natural finish Fender basses.

I do too, but only with a maple fingerboard and a black 3-ply pickguard

That's a classic look, but I'm partial to the tort guard on natural finish too.

Wow, that's 100 times better looking now.

IMO, of course.

I'm right, but still, it's just my opinion.

100% correct opinion, but only an opinion, no matter how accurate it appears to be, and in this case, most definitely is.

Why stop there? Next stop: stacked knob layout circa pre-62.

Sonic blue, right? That is THE color for a J or P, imo.

[nevermind - I see it IS sonic blue]
