I think it maybe one of the "Foto-Flame" basses. It's not real flammed wood but a "photo" of flammed wood, stuck to the body and painted, then lacquered over.

[/quote] I've got a late 70's (black/black/rosewood) which hasn't done that but my friend bought a near immaculate 79 and nearly before our eyes as we took it out of the case, the bottom of the body started turning that milky blue colour. Days later the finish started to get the familiar hair line cracks. Very weird, would love to know what causes that reaction. Quote
Pow_22 Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 No. Mines like new which actually annoys me, i really want the arm contour to wear a little bit. I think they look amazing with a little wood visible on the arm contour but then im just wierd like that Quote
