Agreed. Alk Trio guy has it sorted.

I love Sunburst too though...

I love that green jazz, Andriano is one of my favourite players too. He only seems to play precisions now though!

I'm definitely liking the look of the Sunburst Geddy!

Ditto, a big influence on me, especially stuff like Goodbye Forever. He was back to the Jazz on the last tour.

Missed out on some basses in the past cause they were Sunburst...Ah go away!
Who thought that painting a guitar / bass the same colours as the insides of a cigarette would look good?

Adriano was one of my favourite players, shame he got fat and let his form slip. Not sure how precise his play is these days though.

Anybody know where the sunburst picture came from?

I've looked on the Fender site, and can't find anything out about it!

Incidentally, I've just picked up a black one - and even as a dedicated Ric man - it really is a fantastic bass!! :)

Most of the time, sunburst basses are made with a slightly better quality of wood than ones with solid finishes though. Due to the see-through nature of the finish, they can't afford to have a piece of shoddy wood underneath.

Buy one and get it refinished maybe? The neck and pickups are worth the price alone really, much better than any MIA Fender I've tried.

Also, it's the same colour scheme as the '73 bass Barry Devlin used in Horslips, incidentally, it also has a parrot attached to it!

[quote name='Machines' post='522781' date='Jun 24 2009, 05:58 PM']Nice - a tough call between that and this one: [url="http://www.fender.com/products//search.php?partno=0132000300"]http://www.fender.com/products//search.php?partno=0132000300[/url][/quote]

That's the one for me. Black blocks on maple dont look right to me, MOP on rosewood just look sooooooooooo right

I'd go for the rosewood with MoP inlays. If you're going to do a trad retro look might as well do it properly. Black blocks on naked maple just look a bit naff. They aren't even inlays on the GL sig models, just painted on.
