Title: Green Jazz bass?
Post by: Denis on May 26, 2010, 08:07:00 AM: Anyone know what color green this is? I saw a Jazz bass this color a while back and thought it was absolutely gorgeous.
Edit: I did some digging and I THINK it's called Ocean Turquoise, but it doesn't seem to be listed on the Fender site anymore, so I guess it's discontinued. I LOVE that color, whatever it's called!

OT is the color I used on my blue-Bach. The balance of green and blue changes quite a bit depending on the angle and lighting conditions in which you photograph it:

I'm almost 99% sure this is a Fender Japan '62reissue body in Ocean Turquoise, just like the color on the 75reissue Jazz like Chromium posted.

I actually did briefly start up "Ho Total Makeovers", thinking I'd try this as a side business. It was all going great until Amy Winehouse showed up. (http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k125/0chromium0/forums/smilies/omg.gif)

Some projects are too far gone for you to consider.
