ezbass Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Shoreline Gold always looks ‘right’ on a J style bass. I’m not normally a fan of gold (except on Les Pauls) but Shoreline really works IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lfalex v1.1 Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Shoreline looked great on the Roscoe Beck Fenders. Even looks good with tort (as above) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, Fender often has a problem when coming up with appropriate finish names. Firemist Silver? More like Metallic LPB. Sonic Blue? They should rename it Barely Blue!

They would have originally been silver - but when doing a relic style the yellowed top coat makes it look green blue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely! I know what a yellowed clearcoat can do. The one on the left is transparent black...I've been hoping to find another one like it for six or seven years.
