He can . When I asked him about getting LPB, he asked me if I had a photo as he didn't want to do LPB and it turn out I'd been after the darker (more green) like in your photo. Howard knew the official name for that colour as it came up in our discussion but it escapes me atm. Just ask and/ or show him the picture and I'm sure he'll be able to help you out. As I'm sure you know, what Howard doesn't know about bass isn't worth knowing!!

Wahhh, exactly what I need…thump thump thump…very nice bass. I would go Sonic/Mint myself...

I vote for a refin in Burgundy Mist

[Geek99]

Needs tort tho..,

[inthedoghouse]

Lovely! :-) I wish I hadn't sold (how many times do we say that?) my early 70s Precision!

Congratulations

It looks to me like Sherwood green, but I have terrible eyesight!

I was thinking Sherwood green, a fender 'custom colour' if my thinking is correct?

[wateroftyne]

The official colour is LPB - it's just aged so it looks a bit like Sherwood Green.

I'll see how I feel about the pups after a few gigs. I like 'em so far.... I could just tippex four dots on each.

Colour-wise... this is winning:

I love green basses and that's stunning.

Had a bit of time this morning, so I made a video...

I've recorded and gigged her a lot over the last couple of weeks. She growls!

Sounds mega. What strings are you using? Both sets sound really nice.

Cheers!

The rounds are... I dunno, actually. They came with the bass. They have coloured ball ends. D'addarios?

The flats are old La Bella FLs...

Here's a recording I did last night using a little Lexicon interface thingy...

IMO the flats are way better.
The tone is more "rounded",and the little lick that you threw in sings out better.

Yip - I love flats. They don't just do 'thump'.

[KevB]

The rounds have the 'edge' for me every time
