Nibody Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 (edited) I used to own (1990's) a P bass that I bought from the former bass player of 70's band Ginty. It was sold as a 1976 fender (though with gaining more knowledge and the internet growing I doubt all of it was if any of it). Finnish was basically this (he had it refinished in the 80's I believe) with a maple neck, matching burst headstock and a solid brass pickguard. I sold it in 2001ish. Miss it like hell. Interested to know if anyone has seen a P bass in this finish (a candy purple burst) Edited August 20, 2020 by Nibody 1 Quote

Probably because that isnt actually the bass (its just a triiibuuute..) - I just came across that picture on a US site of a guy that does refinnishes and the colour/burst is identical to my old bass (used to call it cadburys burst) I only have two pics of the old girl and I have no idea where they are Quote
Nibody Posted August 20, 2020 Author Posted August 20, 2020 Bad picture of a picture.. looked more purple like the example above in the flesh.. 1 Quote

hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted August 23, 2020 Posted August 23, 2020 There are similar ones about in solid colours, but if you want a purple burst, it might be easier getting one refinished. Quote
fleabag Posted August 23, 2020 Posted August 23, 2020 Yes, If you want a body colour like a hooker's boudoir .. Quote
Oopsdabassist Posted August 23, 2020 Posted August 23, 2020 I think the colour in the 1st pic is wonderful, I have a bitsa in purple burst, nowhere near as pretty as that though... Quote

Im just curious what happened to my old bass as it was such an unusual finish - and very well done by whoever did it. I have a body sprayed up , (badly) in cadburys purple and a spare can of black gloss nitro - might attempt a burst myself at some point. 1 Quote
