I've owned copies of them all... except for the Fender Jazz (MIM if that counts).
Only ever really wanted own a Ric out of that lot though.
And a Thunderbird.
Yup, cocktail sticks or matchsticks. Use PVA or some other wood glue.
Again, like @mcnach says, I've sometimes just used the sticks on their own, but the glue adds a little "piece of mind" (even though it can get a little messy).
Always remember the Aria Pro ads from the mid-late-80's with @neilmurraybass.
Also remember being dragged along to "We Will Rock You" (herself loves a musical, and it was the only one I'd agree to go to!), and being thoroughly overjoyed at realising that it was Neil Murray himself on bass.
Now that's pretty cool, though I would expect that the less than PC punters would use it to question the bass player's sexuality.
However, I doubt that any of the 30 will ever be played in public.
The back of the Blue Burst was... blue burst.
A friend of mine back in the late 80's had an Azureglo, gorgeous bass, I was of course, insanely jealous, and of course being the 80's, he got it for a song.
Must admit, I was saddened when they decided to discontinue the Midnight Blue option, always thought that (and the 4001 Azureglo) was a great colour.
And although I have a Jetglo, I do prefer the natural finishes. Just wish they'd use more figured woods for the Mapleglo basses. The Walnut one's are great because they have more variation in the wood.
