This finish = Good or Bad

[charic]

Usually i hate sunburst finishes but this... this is remarkable

What do you think?

I was looking at some variations of that finish earlier, it is indeed rather nice. I think it is a bit 'overpowering' though for me. There is a similar one with purple instead of sunburst that looks really edible too!

[Dood]

I really like it, but I can see the wrong colour / type hardware really spoiling the look! I mean, it would be a careful balance to make the bass look classy, but oh so easy to make it look a bit..well 'Del Trotter!'

[budget bassist]

Yeah i rather like that actually, i'm not usually a fan of sunburst but that looks really nice.

[BigBeefChief]

Its looks sh*t.

[Hutton]

Nah! Too busy for my liking.

[warwickhunt]

The 'burst' doesn't quite blend for my liking!

[Dr.Dave]

Well I do like sunbursts but one thing struck me about this straightaway.

You get hold of a 5 yr old 3TS Fender like I did in 1978 , hawk it round the toilets of northern England , like I have and still do , and it looks so cool 30ys on with it's battlescars and forearm wear. Nowt like a nicely mojo'd sunburst.

Take a lump out of this and it'll look like a pile of sh**e.

Right now it looks to me like - and I mean no insult here for once - a metal guitar players finish.

[GreeneKing]

Regardless of practicalities I think it's visually stunning and would suit some black hardware.

[BigBeefChief]

It looks like the type of bass that would be chosen by a female who is a member of our much loved travelling community.

This would look good hanging on the wall next to an airbrushed image of a wolf howling at the moon on an outcrop of rock. In a caravan.

[The Funk]

Sorry. Don't like it. But why does that matter if you do?

[Mr. Foxen]

My favourite is dragonburst on some really evenly quilted maple, proper looks like the underneath of a dragon should.

[Buzz]

Nah, 2 coloured bursts like blue and purple maybe, but traditional looks horrible imo.

I agree with him.

[ped]

is cool though

[doctor_of_the_bass]

Like it!

Definitely a candidate for good quality black hardware, looks like a Sadowsky on speed! Anyone looked at SIMs website recently? He's doing some nice bursts/tints - the business has obviously diversified since he started out; LEDs are perhaps not everyone's cup of darjeeling - can't believe he started out 14 years ago.

[kdphysio]

I'll pass on that thanks........looks like a charred bit of wood to me!

[3V17C]

hmmm yeah not really sure on that - its borderline looking like an 80's pointy headstock hair metal type paintjob, but in a good way!

peace

plus the one plus one.

total coffee table bass, and therefore nausea-inducing in my eyes

[Rich]

Don't like the OP one, but that blue one Ped posted is gorgeous. Works far better with the quilt than the traditional colours.
I quite like sunburst [i]*glances over at baccy-burst Shuker standing in corner*[/i]
