Show us your sunbursts


Cat Burrito

Recommended Posts

We've had threads showing off black basses, white basses, Wal basses & pretty much everything else. I'm not aware of one celebrating the humble sunburst. So in a bid to get a thread on Sunbursts started, here are mine;



from left to right we have a Resonator Bass (from China via Texas!?), a Hofner Verithin Bass, a Hofner Beatle Bass, my original 80s Precision & a 70s parts Jazz bass. I didn't reallise I'd become such a sunburst fan!



What you got? Show 'em here!

I have three: my Alleva-Coppolo LG4 (a super-Jazz), my '71 Fender P/J and my Fender Tony Franklin fretless. Here's pics of first two

and my TF (not got a pic) is a more brightly-coloured twin of my '71 and looks just like this:

Is that a pukka 72 or is it a Bravewood?

Genuine Fender, though clearly not all original... Full story is on page 6 of the 'Precisions' thread - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=116578&st=100"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=116578&st=100[/url] - Further to the info there, all the road rash was 'as is' when we acquired her.

I've often wondered who she belonged to and how she came to be in such a state.
